Ayaneo’s long-awaited Pocket DMG and Pocket Micro are finally launching soon. But, the souped-up Pocket DMG, heavily inspired by the Game Boy, might cost more than you might think.
Ayaneo’s foray into the world ofAndroidhandhelds continues, as the company revealed on a live stream that the IndieGoGo campaigns for both thePocket DMG and Pocket Microhave begun.
But, for those looking for the colorway that most closely evokes Nintendo’s classic handheld, expect to pay up to $699 at retail for the highest-end model with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
It’ll also sport a high-capacity 6000mAh battery, meaning users should get some fairly lengthy battery life from the system. For the amount of power thrown at the system, some design choices, like a single analog stick with a digital touchpad and 4:3 screen have raised eyebrows. You can get all the details on itsIndieGoGo campaign page.
Pocket Micro pricing revealed
The Helio G99 chip inside isn’t going to break any records, but it’s more than capable of handling more basic emulation for consoles like the PS2.
Luckily for you, this one starts at just $189 and $199 for early backers, with an MSRP of $219 for the base model over atIndieGoGo.
As Ayaneo diversifies its lineup away from solelySteam Deck-adjacent devices, despite their premium price tags, these handhelds are both gorgeous. Considering the wide handheld competition from companies likeAnbernic,Ayn, andMiyoo, these designs will be tough to top.
