AYANEO Pocket DMG: Long-awaited Game Boy inspired retro gaming handheld shown again with possible launch date

The AYANEO Pocket DMG has been a long time coming. For context, the company first revealed the device in November 2023 during a SLIDE and FLIP-based launch event. While AYANEO has since released its SLIDE and FLIP gaming handhelds, it last discussed the Pocket DMG in early December 2023.

Out of the blue, AYANEO has shared a new Pocket DMG teaser on its global social media accounts. Embedded below, the photo shows the Pocket DMG in white for the first time. Additionally, the image provides a first look at the device from the first time.

Undoubtedly, the Pocket DMG is a thick device, mirroring the similar-looking Anbernic RG405V (curr. $184.99 on Amazon). Moreover, what appears to be a microSD card reader can be seen, as can a scroll wheel and two pairs of shoulder buttons. On top of that, the circular-shaped cut-outs imply that the Pocket DMG is actively cooled. Unfortunately, specifications remain unknown for now, although the 'Pocket' branding suggests that the Pocket DMG will run Android. AYANEO will provide more details about the Pocket DMG on May 18.
