Overview
- The crowdfunding page lists three tiers, with a base model at $269 early bird ($339 retail), a 12GB/256GB option at $369 early bird ($439 retail) and color choices of Midnight Black or Moon White plus a Lava Red edition.
- Ayaneo cites February 2026 for global shipping on standard models, while the Lava Red variant currently shows no ship date.
- The vertical, Game Boy–style handheld uses a 3.5-inch 1,600 x 1,440 LCD, a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip and a metal CNC chassis with engraving-free buttons.
- Features include a hidden touch pad below the face buttons, a fingerprint power button, USB-C charging, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSD slot.
- Ayaneo positions the device below its $449 Pocket DMG by forgoing an OLED display and higher-capacity memory/storage, and it claims performance up to PS2 and some Switch titles.
