AYANEO
TL;DR AYANEO has revealed specs and pricing for its first budget handheld, the Pocket AIR Mini.
With a modest MediaTek G90T SoC, the cheapest configuration starts at just $70.
The specs are weak, but AYANEO promises full compatibility with PS1, N64, and Dreamcast, plus some GameCube and PS2.
After weeks of teasers, AYANEO has finally given us a full look at its upcoming budget handheld, the Pocket AIR Mini. And unlike its previous “value” releases like the $239 KONKR Pocket FIT, this one comes in at well under $100.
Sporting a MediaTek G90T SoC and 2GB or 3GB of RAM, the Pocket AIR Mini is far from the company’s premium, flagship products. And the pricing reflects that.
This is AYANEO's cheapest handheld, and one of the cheapest Android handhelds on the market.
Pricing for the 2+32GB model will have limited-time pricing of $69.99. The 3+64GB model starts at $79.99 during that period. Those figures increase to $74.99 and $84.99, respectively, for the regular early-bird period, and $89.99 and $99.99 for final retail pricing.
That’s shockingly affordable for an Android gaming handheld. The specs are limited, but the company claims it is fully compatible with PS1, N64, Dreamcast, and Sega Saturn, with limited compatibility for PS2 and GameCube titles.
