Ayaneo has launched a new limited edition of its vertical handheld console, the Pocket DMG, featuring a polished silver finish and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 platform. The new variant, named Pocket DMG Silver Limited Edition, uses the same retro-inspired vertical design as the original model and is now available at a starting price of $339.

The silver version joins the existing Arctic Black, Moon White, and Retro Color options but stands out with its metallic aesthetic. This is not a generational upgrade but a new color variant with lower starting prices and added bonus accessories. The company currently lists two configurations for the Silver model: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage for $339 and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage for $419. For comparison, the standard Pocket DMG models start at $449.

The Pocket DMG features a 3.92-inch OLED display with a 1240 x 1080 resolution, 419 PPI pixel density, and 450-nit peak brightness.

Inside, the device runs on the Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 platform with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0 storage, though the 128GB variant uses UFS 3.1. The handheld supports a performance envelope up to 15W and includes an active cooling system with a 13,330mm² heatsink to handle heat dissipation during long sessions.

Ayaneo equips the device with a 6,000mAh battery that supports 25W PD fast charging. It also features a six-axis gyroscope, an X-axis linear motor for vibration, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort 1.4 output, and a microSD slot. Wireless options cover Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3

The handheld runs on Android 13 and supports the company’s AyaSpace front-end and AyaHome desktop launcher. Ayaneo claims the device can handle demanding 3D Android titles and offers customization for emulator use and Xbox streaming.

In related news, Ayaneo has introduced the Pocket Vert recently with a 3.5-inch LTPS LCD, a dual-mode hidden touchpad, and a 6000mAh battery. Ayaneo has also unveiled the Next 2 handheld with a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip, dual touchpads, and Xbox-style controls.
