Ayaneo first teased the second-gen horizontal handheld nearly two weeks ago, but has now revealed that the Pocket Micro 2 will start at a $269 retail price.<\/p>\n<p>For that price, you get the same 3.5-inch LCD display with a 960 x 640 resolution that we first saw with the Pocket Micro. To justify the slight bump in cost, Ayaneo added a new Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm for better performance and a larger battery with a 3,950mAh capacity. The handheld also includes some ergonomic tweaks, including a larger D-pad, bigger ABXY buttons, improved shoulder buttons and the introduction of recessed dual TMR joysticks that should be more comfortable and prevent stick drift. Ayaneo kept the USB-C\u00a0port, the microSD card slot and the WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, but decided to add a 3.5mm headphone jack to live up to its retro remake style.<\/p>\n<p>With early bird pricing, you can get the model with 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage for $239 before it rises to its normal $269 price tag. For those looking for a more premium option, the variant with 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage will start at a launch price of $309 before going up to its retail price of $339.<\/p>\n<p>Ayaneo put its Pocket Micro 2, which is available in black, white and purple, up for pre-order yesterday in &#8220;limited quantities on a first-come, first served basis.&#8221; The store page already shows that the newest handheld is already sold out, but Ayaneo said in its Discord that &#8220;we&#8217;re\u00a0currently discussing with our suppliers to see if additional production can be arranged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll emulate the level of demand and determine whether it can meet the minimum order quantity requirements for another production run,&#8221; Ayaneo said on Discord. &#8220;We can&#8217;t promise that we&#8217;ll be able to make it happen, but we&#8217;ll do our best to explore every possibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2203185\/ayaneo-new-horizontal-handheld-is-an-even-better-remake-of-the-game-boy-micro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pocket Micro 2 has a larger battery, improved controls and even a 3.5mm headphone jack. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Ayaneo In typical Ayaneo fashion, the handheld&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64291,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[25524,2326,258,3575,23884,9457,2505],"class_list":["post-64290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-ayaneos","tag-boy","tag-game","tag-handheld","tag-horizontal","tag-micro","tag-remake","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/64291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=64290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=64290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
