Overview
- The Pocket Play features a sliding display that exposes a D-pad, ABXY buttons, two circular touch pads, and twin shoulder buttons.
- Ayaneo published a Kickstarter page that lists a launch "soon" but omits all technical specifications, pricing, and a release date.
- Coverage presents the device as Ayaneo’s first smartphone positioned as “more than a phone,” aimed at handheld-gaming and emulation enthusiasts.
- Reporters compare the design to Sony Ericsson’s 2011 Xperia Play and note parallels with Anbernic’s RG Slide released earlier this year.
- The Verge highlights the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack and describes a sleeker look that may suggest a higher price than the RG Slide’s $189, which remains unconfirmed.
