Ayaneo Pocket S and Pocket Micro gaming handhelds refreshed with new releases
Ayaneo has expanded its range of Android gaming handhelds, two days or so after revealing new details about its next flagship Widnows option. While the Ayaneo 3 should bring plenty of new features to the table over the older Ayaneo 2 and Ayaneo 2S, its latest Android-based releases are only cosmetic refreshes.
On the one hand, Ayaneo has decided to re-release the Pocket S (curr. $537.95 on Amazon) in what it describes as Retro Power and Sakura Pink finishes. Despite unveiling the colour options earlier this month, it has not confirmed how many Pocket S units it plans to sell in Retro Power and Sakura Pink, though. At any rate, the two new versions are available as 'Unmarked Edition' consoles for the following prices:
| 12 GB RAM/256 GB storage | 16 GB RAM/512 GB storage | 16 GB RAM/1 TB storage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super Early Bird | $439 | $469 | $619 |
| Early Bird | $529 | $559 | $729 |
| Retail | $589 | $619 | $789 |
On the other hand, the smaller Pocket Micro now comes in a Retro Gold finish, having previously been available in Magic Black, Retro Gray and Soul Red options. With that being said, the new variant misses out on the Pocket Micro's 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage configuration. As a result, the Retro Gold option comes exclusively with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage and at an 8.7% surcharge over its regular counterparts. At the time of writing, the Pocket Micro in Retro Gold can be picked up on Indiegogo for $249 with shipments set for January 2025.
