REMAKE the retro. Reforge the classic.

Classics never truly fade—they simply wait to be reignited. Driven by a passion for retro aesthetics and a spirit of continuous exploration, AYANEO expands the boundaries of handheld gaming through innovative thinking. AYANEO Pocket PLAY was born from the enduring retro sentiment in the hearts of true players. Through collisions of inspiration and thoughtful redesign, it crystallizes a form that is both classic and pure, offering a gaming experience that goes beyond tradition and honors the passion of handheld enthusiasts.

Pocket PLAY embraces the brand’s signature minimalist design language, blending pure proportions, fluid lines, and premium materials to create a true handheld work of art. When the classic side-slide mechanism is gently opened, the full-function game controller hidden inside is revealed—at that moment, Pocket PLAY’s true soul awakens. On the controls front, Pocket PLAY reinterprets the standard gamepad layout: the D-pad and ABXY buttons deliver precise, crisp feedback, allowing fingers to naturally fall into place and players to dive straight into familiar gameplay rhythms. The innovative dual smart touchpads further expand control possibilities, functioning as virtual joysticks or touchpads, with highly customizable mapping that ensures even in smartphone form, players can enjoy the freedom and smooth responsiveness of a professional handheld console.

Now, the long-awaited “core” configuration has finally been unveiled. Pocket PLAY is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 mobile platform—not just a high-performance processor, but the key enabler of the seamless fusion between smartphone form and handheld gaming experience. The Dimensity 9300 delivers powerful yet efficient performance, injecting Pocket PLAY with abundant energy for immersive gameplay. Its outstanding computing and graphics capabilities provide stable, sustained high-frame-rate output, rendering even the most complex game scenes smoothly. Whether it’s casual everyday titles or high-load, graphically intensive blockbuster games, Pocket PLAY handles them with ease, maintaining fluid, responsive control and fully unleashing the immersive charm of handheld gaming.

AYANEO Pocket PLAY is more than a smartphone—it is a retro-innovative handheld gaming form that integrates design, performance, and the very soul of a true console. More exciting experiences are coming soon—stay tuned!
