Ayaneo has announced refreshed versions of its Pocket S and Pocket Micro Android gaming handhelds. These re-releases are purely cosmetic, with no changes to the underlying hardware. These new models are available globally.
Ayaneo Pocket S: New Colors
The Pocket S is now available in "Retro Power" and "Sakura Pink" finishes. Ayaneo is offering these new color options as 'Unmarked Edition' consoles. Here are the pricing tiers for the Pocket S:
| Configuration | Super Early Bird | Early Bird | Retail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 GB RAM/256 GB storage | $439 | $529 | $589 |
| 16 GB RAM/512 GB storage | $469 | $559 | $619 |
| 16 GB RAM/1 TB storage | $619 | $729 | $789 |
Ayaneo Pocket Micro: Retro Gold Option
The smaller Pocket Micro now comes in a new "Retro Gold" finish, joining the existing Magic Black, Retro Gray, and Soul Red color options. This new variant is only available with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The Retro Gold version is priced slightly higher (8.7% surcharge) than the regular configurations. You can find it on Indiegogo for $249, with shipments expected in January 2025.
While these new color options are a welcome change for those looking for more personalization options, it's worth noting that the core hardware remains unchanged from the previous releases.
