Ayaneo Pocket Micro 2 gets a launch date; will have an audio jack and video output, too

Earlier this week, Ayaneo announced that it was launching a successor to its smallest handheld, the Pocket Micro. That announcement has been followed by drip-fed details of the device, which will launch as the Pocket Micro 2. Ayaneo has now provided more details of the handheld alongside an official launch date.

According to a post on X, Ayaneo says the Pocket Micro 2 will be launched on June 26, which is less than a week away. However, it isn't known if the handheld will be available to purchase on that date or if its release date is set for later.

Ayaneo has also revealed three new features of the Pocket Micro 2 that are not available in its predecessor. The first is a full-featured USB Type-C port. While the Pocket Micro does have a USB-C port, it is only used for charging and data transfer. However, Ayaneo's use of the word “full-featured” points at the port's support for video output, just like that of the Retroid Pocket 6.

The Pocket Micro 2 will also have an audio jack and a microphone, two features not available on the Pocket Micro (available on Amazon for $239.99). According to an image included with the announcement, the audio jack and microphone will flank the USB-C port on the left, and all three will be at the bottom of the Pocket Micro 2.

Other previously confirmed features of the Pocket Micro 2 include a Snapdragon processor that is more powerful than the MediaTek Helio G99 processor inside the Pocket Micro, a larger 3,950mAh battery capacity, better ergonomics, and more comfortable controls.
