On the MagicX chip fraud scandal and the future.

The Mini M chip scandal has been brewing for a couple days, which has brought a bad mood to people who bought Mini M.

We sincerely apologize to you. It is indeed our fault that you purchased a device with a fake chip. Any explanation is meaningless now because this incident has been a heavy blow to us. Subsequent products will use actions to prove our determination to make good products. We will go all out and continue to develop. The future of MagicX, including the original Vintage Control MediaTek devices, will be transferred to the MagicX project to express our determination.

People can continue to express their outrage over the scandal and (or?) trust that we can grow through the bumpy road ahead. Maybe MagicX will work harder and become stronger.

For those who don’t like or hate MagicX, I hope you will pay attention to us in the future. With your supervision, we will become stronger. I would also like to thank you for your attention and suggestions.

The compensation plan is updated: (you may choose one from the two)

  1. Friends who purchase the Mini M can get a $15 coupon when purchasing the Mini M+ (this coupon is not a coupon from the AliExpress platform, but is subsidized by us ourselves)

  2. Friends who purchased M before September 3rd can send me a private message (on discord username: magicmsean) to get a $9 refund.

We, MagicX never give up.

The following handhelds are planned:

[Touch Two]

  • MediaTek (Helio) G99

  • Horizontal 3.2 inches 1024x768

  • On sale in January-February next year

  • Pre-sale price: $99 (USD?)

After the fraud scandal, whether you support or hate us, our only choice is to continue to develop the future of MagicX Sincere thanks to those who have always supported us.
