While Ayaneo has yet to reveal how much the premium device is going to set us back, it has revealed a more in-depth look at the specs, and what sets it apart from the slew ofAndroidhandhelds out there.
Predominantly, the Ayaneo Pocket S marks the debut of the first use of the Snapdragon G3x gen 2 chipset, designed with gaming in mind. TheSnapdragon G3x Gen 2is equipped with Wi-Fi 7 and a 5G modem, so the Pocket S won’t falter when it comes to fast connection speeds and high-quality cloud gaming.

According toAyaneo, the Pocket S will also mark the debut of the first borderless full-screen design for an Android handheld. The 6-inch 2K borderless 1440p IPS display will provide you with more to see of your favorite Android-based games.
The 2560 x 1440 borderless mirrored screen comes decked out with a 100% sRGB color gamut, adding high clarity to whatever you choose to play. The screen is also endowed with touch-screen functionality, so you can add key mappings for non-controller-supported games.

It also takes inspiration from PC gaming handhelds, coming with hall-sensing joysticks lit up with colorful RGB light effects. The ergonomically designed handheld sticks with the expected duo-thumbstick design. With an additional crystal-textured D-pad and accompanying ABXY buttons.
