Ayaneo, the renowned brand in gaming handheld consoles, has officially opened pre-orders for its latest device, the Ayaneo Pocket S Android Console. Ayaneo revealed the full specifications and features of the forthcoming Ayaneo Pocket S retro gaming handheld console a few days ago. The handheld gaming console is now available for pre-order for a down payment of 1599 Yuan (US$ 225). The amount will be adjusted in the final product pricing, and if any outstanding amount remains, it will be repaid to the customer. The high-end Android handheld console offers some exciting hardware specifications and features.
Ayaneo Pocket S Android Console comes with
a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 SoC and Adreno A32 GPU, which clocks up to
1GHz. It is a significant improvement over the Adreno 740 GPU, which clocks at
680 MHz and is present in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. In comparison with the
first-gen Snapdragon G3x, the new chipset offers a 30% improvement in CPU and a
100% GPU enhancement. The chipset can pull TDP up to 15W. To offer continuous
performance and dissipate heat, the console features a large-area VC thermal
plater.
It would come in up to 16GB RAM variants,
and we expect another 8GB RAM and 12GB RAM versions too. There will be 1 TB of
storage. Details about the storage variants are not yet confirmed; however, the
company only confirmed the 16GB RAM + 1TB storage variant while announcing the
features. There could be an external storage expansion slot too.
It features a 6-inch IPS mirror display
with 490 PPI pixel density, 120% sRGB color gamut volume, and 400 nits of
brightness. In controls, it bundles an RGB Hall Sensor, Linear Hall Triggers, a
D-Pad, and other gaming buttons. For haptics, it supports triple-mode vibration
and SoundTAPMagic, dual-X acis linear motors, and a 6-axis gyroscope.
Ayaneo Pocket S measures 14mm in thickness
and 300–400 g in weight. It is built with high-end design materials, including
a matte all-metal CNC middle frame. There’s also a biomimetic design for heat
dissipation. Further, the software enhancements improve the overall experience.
It will be available in black and white color options.
Ayaneo is known for its gaming handheld
consoles and mini PCs. It recently launched the Ayaneo FLIP handheld, which
comes with an AMD Ryxen 8840U CPU, 64GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage. The company
also introduced the Ayaneo AM02 Retro Mini PC, which ships with a 4-inch touch
display for US$ 499. Its predecessor, the Ayaneo Retro Mini PC AM01, was made
available on Indiegogo in November 2023.
