AYANEO Reveals Pocket DS, World’s First Dual-Screen Android Handheld

Its bespoke Android software layer is designed to optimize gameplay across hinged displays where native OS support is lacking

Overview

  • AYANEO officially unveiled the clamshell Pocket DS during a livestream on July 28, marking the first dual-screen handheld running Android.
  • The device has been in development for nearly a year and is already in production ahead of its public debut.
  • It pairs a 6.7-inch 16:9 primary display with a smaller touch panel beneath physical controls, evoking Nintendo’s DS lineage.
  • Recessed thumbsticks and curved rear grips deliver ergonomic support for extended gaming sessions across both screens.
  • Full technical specifications will be disclosed in a dedicated livestream tomorrow, followed by a hands-on showing at Qualcomm’s ChinaJoy booth.
