Native hardware gaming is great and the PSP was a solid device, but if anyone is new to this and interested in a gaming console for PSP, then just pick up a Mangmi Air X (or if you're rich then go for a Retroid Pocket 5 for AMOLED awesomeness).

I sold my modded PSP 1000 seven years ago and think I maybe should have held onto it now that I'm back into retro games and PSP had a game library that holds up so well today.

What are the physical dimensions of the Mangmi? Does it fit in a big pocket, like about the same size as the PSP 1000? Or are all these handhelds still too big for that?

EFIT: It is bigger than the PSP 1000.

Yes it's bigger and less pocketable, but you also get a bigger and better quality screen. If you want something very small and pocketable then there's the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro.

You can do comparisons on this site and overlay the images of the consoles to get an idea of sizes.

Good place to compare device sizes.
