AYANEO, a company mostly known for its Windows-powered handheld gaming PCs, launched its first Android-based handheld gaming console in July. Its pre-orders opened on Indiegogo in early September, and the company has now begun shipping the first units to its customers, even though the campaign still has a week to go.

The Pocket Air comes in three configurations:

  • 6GB RAM / 128GB storage for $300 during crowdfunding ($320 retail)
  • 8GB RAM / 256GB storage for $380 during crowdfunding ($430 retail)
  • 12GB RAM / 512GB storage for $460 during crowdfunding ($520 retail)

According to the company, most of the models it has shipped so far are the highest-spec models, but a limited number of the lower-priced versions have also begun shipping. AYANEO says it will ship all remaining orders after October 8th, following China’s National Day holiday.
