  • The AYANEO Pocket ACE has been fully revealed, with an Indiegogo campaign underway.
  • It features a 4.5-inch 3:2 display, a Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, and a large 6,000mAh battery.
  • Early bird pricing starts at $339, with shipping starting at the end of May.

When it comes to premium retro gaming handhelds, AYANEO once again proves it’s the brand to beat with the new Pocket ACE. This new, smaller handheld slots between the Pocket Micro and Pocket S, but still packs the same punch as handhelds twice its size.

First teased last month, the AYANEO Pocket ACE features a 4.5-inch LCD display with a 3:2 aspect ratio. This is the golden ratio for GBA games, but it’s also a nice middle ground, providing minimal bezels on older 4:3 systems and newer 16:9 systems.
