Pocket S2 and Gaming Pad

The Pocket S2 maintains the design of the existing Pocket S, which had trouble keeping the Snapdragon G3x G2 under control. In response to this, Ayaneo asserts they’ve added a new ‘ultra-large heatsink’ and an upgraded fan to keep performance at its peak during extended gaming sessions.

The company also claims that the Pocket S2 will have a ‘much larger battery capacity’ compared to the Pocket S, but they haven’t provided any specific details yet. Additionally, the Pocket S2 comes equipped with enhanced Hall effect joysticks and a 6.3-inch display, which Ayaneo suggests will feature a single 2,560 x 1,440 (2K/1440p) resolution this time around. However, they haven’t shared information about when or at what price the Ayaneo Pocket S2 will be released.
