Overview
- Ayaneo unveiled the Pocket DS at ChinaJoy in Shanghai on July 28, marking it as the first dual-screen Android gaming handheld.
- The clamshell design mirrors the Nintendo 3DS XL by pairing a large top touchscreen with a smaller, control-oriented bottom display.
- CEO Arthur Zhang confirmed the Pocket DS spent nearly a year in development and is already in production.
- Ayaneo is building a custom Android interface to coordinate gameplay across both screens and overcome native single-display limitations.
- Full specifications and pricing will be disclosed in a July 29 livestream, with indications it will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 chipset.
