AYANEO Pocket VERT: A Luxurious Android-Powered Game Boy
AYANEO has unveiled its latest gaming handheld, the Pocket VERT, which is now available for pre-order starting at 9. This premium device offers a luxurious build and powerful performance, making it a standout in the handheld gaming market.
The Pocket VERT is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, providing enough power to emulate a wide range of retro and modern consoles. With the ability to run games from consoles like the GameCube and PS2, this device offers a versatile gaming experience.
Featuring a high-density 3.5-inch LCD panel and a CNC metal finish, the Pocket VERT boasts a sleek design with premium details such as “diamond-cut” shoulder buttons and a MagicSwitch scroll wheel for quick settings changes.
One of the standout features of the Pocket VERT is the hidden “MagicTouch” touchpad, which can be used for mouse-based DOS games or stick inputs for modern controllers. This adds a new level of versatility to the device, making it ideal for a variety of gaming experiences.
With a large 6,000mAh battery, integrated fingerprint sensor, and downward-firing speakers, the Pocket VERT offers a premium gaming experience in a compact package. It comes in two configurations: 8+128GB starting at 9 and 12+256GB starting at 9, with additional color options available for an extra cost.
While the Pocket VERT is set to begin shipping in early February 2026, AYANEO has a history of missing shipping deadlines, so customers should be prepared for potential delays. Despite this, the Pocket VERT promises to deliver a luxurious gaming experience for handheld gaming enthusiasts.
