The AYANEO Pocket Ace is here

The AYANEO Pocket ACE is out now on Indiegogo, packing a 4.5" 3:2 display, Hall-effect controls, and a Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 into a retro-styled Android handheld built for serious gaming.

The AYANEO Pocket ACE is officially out and available on IndieGogo.

This may be the most interesting horizontal Android handheld right now if you're into retro games, mobile titles, or just want a ridiculously powerful little machine to mess around with.

The Pocket ACE crams flagship specs into a pocketable body: a 3:2 4.5" screen, hall-effect joysticks, and a Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, which I still believe is a seriously overpowered chip for emulation.

Specs:

  • 4.5" 1620×1080 IPS display (3:2 ratio, 130% sRGB, 550nits brightness)
  • Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 platform (up to 15w performance)
  • 6000mAh battery + 40W fast charging
  • Medium Hall-effect joysticks + Hall-effect triggers
  • 0916B Surge Linear Motor (next-level haptics)
  • LPDDR5X RAM + UFS 4.0 storage
  • MicroSD slot, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with DP 1.4 output
  • Dual front-facing speakers
  • Wi-Fi 6/7 + Bluetooth 5.3
  • Android 13 with AYASpace tweaks

Prices for the Ace start at $339 for 8 GB of memory and 128 GB of internal storage, and go up to $599 for a limited edition with 16 GB of memory and 1TB of storage.

AYANEO is also offering accessories like a protective film, thumbstick caps, and cases separately through Indiegogo. Bundle options are available if you want to kit it out properly from the start.

If you want one, better not sleep on it, since these are early-bird prices.
