Ayaneo has officially announced the Pocket Vert, a new vertical-format handheld gaming device designed for retro gaming enthusiasts. The company revealed the device during a live showcase and detailed it on its official blog. The post highlights its compact form factor, premium build, and modern features that aim to deliver a nostalgic experience with current-generation performance
Ayaneo Pocket Vert Specifications
The Pocket Vert features a 3.5-inch LTPS LCD screen with a resolution of 1600×1440 and a pixel density of 615 PPI. The display supports 10x GB point-to-point pixel accuracy and offers 450 nits of brightness, providing sharp visuals for both classic and modern games. Ayaneo uses a full CNC-machined metal body and integrates a single seamless glass panel on the front to give the device a polished, minimalist look.
The handheld measures 86.4×143×20.5mm and is available in three color options: Nightfall Black, Moonlight White, and Lava Red. All physical buttons use a crystal-like transparent material and follow a clean, unmarked design layout. The control scheme includes a traditional D-pad and ABXY buttons, along with SE, ST, and AYA function keys. The diamond-cut shoulder buttons are also made from the same transparent material and are designed to support fast-paced gaming.
Ayaneo has equipped the Pocket Vert with a hidden dual-mode smart touchpad located beneath the front glass. This touchpad can act as a virtual analog stick on the left or right, support dual-stick mode, or function as a mouse. The device also includes a MagicSwitch button, which supports long-press input to open a function menu or control volume.
The Pocket Vert is powered by a 6000mAh battery and includes stereo dual speakers. It runs Ayaneo’s custom software ecosystem, AyaSpace and AyaHome, which supports key customization, device spoofing, Free Feel key mapping 1.5, and AI-powered translation features.
Ayaneo has not yet announced the chipset, memory configuration, or release date. More details are expected in the coming weeks.
In related news, Ayaneo recently unveiled the Next 2 handheld with a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, dual touchpads, and Xbox-style controls. Retroid has also launched the Pocket 6 with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, a 120Hz AMOLED display, and a 6000mAh battery.
