If you thought the handheld gaming craze had peaked, think again. OneXPlayer — the same company behind those powerhouse mini PCs — is shaking things up with something that feels equal parts nostalgia trip and sci-fi gadget. Meet the OneXSugar Wallet, a foldable, Android-powered console that’s turning heads for blending retro charm with cutting-edge design.
Picture this: an 8.01-inch screen that folds neatly in half, slipping easily into your pocket. It’s not some quirky concept sketch — it’s the real deal. The display comes with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a 2480×1860 resolution, meaning old-school titles will look crisp, colorful, and just as you remember them — only sharper.
When the Wallet opens up, it feels like a Game Boy Advance SP that jumped decades ahead in time. Closed, it’s compact and sleek. Open, it’s a full gaming station that’s ready to handle everything from 8-bit adventures to 3D classics.
Here’s where it really breaks from the pack. Instead of a quirky Linux-based system, the OneXSugar Wallet runs on Android, giving players instant access to a massive ecosystem of emulators, apps, and cloud gaming platforms. You could go from a round of Super Nintendo nostalgia to streaming a modern AAA title in seconds.
In other words, this isn’t just a toy for retro enthusiasts — it’s a portable gaming chameleon.
As of now, OneXPlayer hasn’t shared much about pricing or a release date. Judging by the company’s earlier high-end devices (think OneXPlayer Mini or the X1 series), this won’t be the cheapest way to relive your pixelated past. That foldable display certainly adds some extra flair — and likely a few extra dollars to the price tag.
Even so, collectors and handheld fans are already buzzing, curious to see how it stacks up against rivals like the Anbernic RG series or Retroid Pocket. None of those, however, can fold neatly in half.
The retro handheld market is having a golden moment. Over the past few years, we’ve seen dozens of creative takes on the idea — all built around the same longing for the games that defined our childhoods. But the OneXSugar Wallet is pushing the boundaries by marrying that nostalgia with genuinely innovative tech.
Foldable screens typically belong to high-end smartphones, but OneXPlayer is betting that gamers will want that same flexible design in their handhelds. It’s bold, it’s playful, and it just might signal where portable gaming is headed next.
So, what do you think — a brilliant blend of retro and modern, or just a flashy gimmick? Either way, the OneXSugar Wallet proves one thing: nostalgia never really goes out of style; it just learns how to fold.
