Ayaneo has released new details about its upcoming Pocket Vert retro handheld, outlining pricing tiers, hardware specifications and a planned increase in retail prices once the device reaches broader availability.
The company said early backers will be able to purchase the Pocket Vert starting at $269 for the base configuration, rising to $369 for the top-tier Lava Red edition. Ayaneo added that retail pricing will be higher, with the base model set at $339 and the highest-end version priced at $439.
The Pocket Vert adopts a Game Boy-style form factor and features a 3.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1,600 by 1,440 pixels and a pixel density of 615 pixels per inch. The screen supports a 60-hertz refresh rate and reaches up to 450 nits of brightness, according to the company.
The handheld is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset paired with an Adreno 730 graphics processor.
