It was only a matter of time before Mangmi revealed the complete list of specifications after teasing their Snapdragon processors last week, and it looks to confirm our thoughts on potential emulation performance with the Air Y version packing something a little more serious for potential PS2 emulation.
It will likely mean these two handhelds will be priced differently too, and hopefully shipping at the same time, which is something TRIMUI didn't do with the Brick Pro and the Brick Pro U.
This announcement was made across Mangmi's social platforms. Mostly both units feature the same specifications; it's the processors, RAM, charging speed, speakers and OS that are different, as you can see below.

Hopefully, this means retro gamers will have two choices. The AIR Y likely being able to emulate everything up to Dreamcast, N64 and a bit of PSP, and then the Air Y Pro version will be the big push for PS2, Wii, PSP and 3DS emulation. But only time will tell, it's likely this will be fully announced and up for pre-order later in the month.
