    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.

    AYANEO Pocket DMG: Handheld with OLED & Snapdragon G3x Gen 2

    The much-anticipated AYANEO Pocket DMG, a retro gaming handheld styled after the classic Gameboy, has been elaborated upon in a recent press release by AYANEO. This new device positions itself as a premium Android gaming handheld, on par with the best models available today. It features the Qualcomm Snapdragon G3X Gen chip and includes an OLED display. The AYANEO Pocket DMG is distinguished by its unique controller layout, setting it apart from its competitors.

    Design and Display

    First teased in November 2023, the AYANEO Pocket DMG has now been fully revealed, including its key specifications. This vertical retro gaming handheld is reminiscent of other models like the Analogue Pocket and Anbernic RG405V. It boasts a 3.92-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1,240 x 1,080 pixels and a pixel density of 419 PPI. Among current retro gaming handhelds, its display is seemingly the most vibrant.

    Powerful Chipset

    A standout feature of the AYANEO Pocket DMG is its use of the Snapdragon G3X Gen 2 chipset. This is the same processor found in the AYANEO Pocket S, which means the Pocket DMG can emulate most games efficiently. Unlike other models, the new AYANEO Pocket DMG includes only a single joystick. To make up for this, the device features a touchpad area surrounding the joystick as an alternative control method.

    Release Date and Pricing

    AYANEO has yet to announce a specific launch date for the Pocket DMG, and the press release did not include pricing details. However, it is anticipated that this latest flagship retro gaming handheld from AYANEO will be available on the market soon.
