AYANEO Pocket ACE: Classic Gaming, Modern Handheld
AYANEO's newest offering is the Pocket ACE. It is a small handheld console specifically tailored for fans wanting to revisit vintage console games on contemporary technology.
Classic Gaming, Modern Screen
The Pocket ACE features a 4.5-inch IPS LCD screen. Retro gaming-friendly is its 3:2 aspect ratio and crisp 1620 x 1080 resolution. These specifications should make old pixels look nice and crisp. It is the right size for a retro box.
Powering the Past
Under the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 processor. It is not the newest and most powerful from Qualcomm, but it has plenty of oomph to do the trick. This 8-core processor, a mix of Prime Ultra, Prime, and Silver, and its 1 GHz Adreno A32 graphics processor will play smoothly a gigantic library of older console games.
Controls Built for Classics
AYANEO has not skimped on the controls. The Pocket ACE boasts a D-pad, four action buttons, two analog sticks with solid hall sensor-based technology, four shoulder buttons, and the requisite start and select buttons. Adapting to and playing games from various retro systems should be easy.
Battery and What's Next
A 6,000 mAh battery prolongs gaming times. When charging is needed, it features 40-watt fast charging.
Availability
When can you grab one, and what will it cost? AYANEO has not yet announced this information. However, they did open a preview page. This indicates we can expect to see an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for the Pocket ACE fairly soon. More information is expected to arrive soon.
