    Ayaneo Pocket S Handheld Gaming Console Launches New Colors

    Ayaneo introduced the Pocket S back in April this year, positioning it as a top-tier Android gaming handheld featuring the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2. Recently, the company has updated the device by unveiling two new limited-edition colors. These are named Sakura Pink and Retro Power.

    New Color Options

    These new color options give the Android gaming handheld a fresh look, but Ayaneo has not yet made these limited-edition versions available on its official website. It’s still uncertain if these new colors will be priced higher than the regular ones. For reference, the standard Pocket S starts at $589.

    Specifications Remain the Same

    Aside from the appealing new designs, the limited-edition Pocket S models maintain the same internal specifications as the standard version. They are also powered by the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, which is known to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

    This system-on-chip (SoC) is combined with 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage. With an active cooling system and a special Turbo mode, the Pocket S is designed to provide smooth retro gaming and native Android experiences. The device boasts a 6-inch display with a maximum resolution of 1440p, a peak brightness of 400 nits, and covers 120% of the sRGB spectrum.

    Battery and Features

    The internal components are powered by a 6,000 mAh battery that supports PD fast charging (Anker Nano 65 W currently priced at $39.99 on Amazon). Additional features of this gaming handheld include Hall effect joysticks, linear Hall triggers, an all-metal midframe, and a design that prioritizes comfort.
