Ayaneo is set to launch its newest gaming handheld, which runs on Android, soon. However, the company has revealed more information about the global release of the Pocket AIR Mini after making an official announcement yesterday. Interestingly, Anbernic has just begun selling the RG476H, which is a similar device that uses the same chipset as the recently released RG Slide (currently priced at $199 on Amazon).
Specs and Features
To summarize, Ayaneo has confirmed that the Pocket AIR Mini will come equipped with a MediaTek Helio G90T chipset, alongside a 4.2-inch, 960p 4:3 IPS display. Furthermore, this device boasts a 4,500 mAh battery with 18 W wired charging support, along with Hall effect joysticks and triggers. On top of that, the Helio G90T enables Bluetooth 5.0 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity, which Ayaneo enhances with up to 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage capacity.
Pricing Details
Previously, Ayaneo had mentioned that the starting price for the Pocket AIR Mini would be CNY 499 (around $70) with 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. Interestingly, this price point will carry over to the global launch, but there is a catch. As shown in the image below, the Pocket AIR Mini will be available for $69.99 globally, but only as part of an unspecified ‘limited-time offer.’ If the launch in China is any indication, this price will rise to $74.99 once Ayaneo sells the first 1,000 units.
Future Sales
Eventually, the Pocket AIR Mini is expected to be sold for $89.99. Meanwhile, the version with 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage will initially be priced at $79.99, which will later increase to $84.99 and then $99.99. As of now, Ayaneo aims to start pre-orders on its website in mid-October, steering clear of crowdfunding platforms like the recently launched Pocket DS.
