New Ayaneo horizontal handheld reveals itself as cheaper answer to Pocket Micro Classic

Details about a new Ayaneo vertical handheld emerged earlier this week. As we covered at the time, the so-called Pocket Block appeared to be a cheaper alternative to the existing Pocket Vert (curr. $369 on Amazon). Based on new leaks, Ayaneo has more than just the Pocket Block in development.

Additionally, it seems that the company has created a horizontal alternative to the Pocket Block, too. Embedded above and below, the image reiterates Ayaneo's 'Bitwave' branding. Also Retro Power branding is present, which Ayaneo uses across handhelds and accessories, as its 'Real gamers known gamers' motto.

Moreover, the image mentions a 120 Hz display, which appears to have a 4:3 aspect ratio. However, it looks like the button above the handheld's ABXY buttons has been manipulated in some way. Hence, we have some reservations at this stage. If accurate, then the plastic shell indicates that the handheld will be a cheaper alternative to Ayaneo's Pocket Micro and Pocket Micro Classic, which contain glass fronts and metal bodies. The company will announce new products during a sharing session on May 21.
