Ayaneo's Konkr Pocket Fit sets sale record as early bird price extended and battery upgrade announced as rewards for fans

Ayaneo has announced that its upcoming Android gaming handheld, the Konkr Pocket Fit (Elite), is now its best-selling Android gaming handheld in China. According to an update posted on its Indiegogo page, the Konkr Pocket Fit set a new sales record in just seven days. To celebrate, it has decided to reward its fans across the globe.

The first reward is an extension of the super early bird pricing till the end of the month. This means those who are yet to order the handheld can still grab the Snapdragon G3 Gen 3-powered Konkr Pocket Fit for $239 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Pocket Fit Elite for $269 until September 30.

The second reward is a battery upgrade. According to Ayaneo, all previous orders and subsequent orders (for a limited time) of the Konkr Pocket Fit and Pocket Fit Elite will get a battery upgrade to 8,400mAh, a 400mAh increase from the capacity stated when the handheld was released.

Considering Ayaneo says it will announce a deadline for new orders that wish to get the battery upgrade, it seems the plan is to have two versions of the handheld with different battery capacities. However, we won't be surprised if it later announces that the bigger battery capacity will be the standard after the crowdfunding ends.

The Pocket Fit and Pocket Fit Elite are the first set of handhelds from Ayaneo's new affordable line of handhelds. The two devices have a 6-inch LCD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. The standard version will feature a Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 processor, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite will power the Elite version.

RAM and storage will start at 8GB and 128GB for the two handhelds, but max out at 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for the standard version, while the Pocket Fit Elite will have a 24GB RAM version with 1TB of storage.
