Ayaneo has confirmed the development of a successor to its Pocket Micro handheld. The company calls the new device the Pocket Micro 2. This announcement follows the release of the original model, which drew comparisons to classic Game Boy hardware.

The successor retains the horizontal form factor of its predecessor. It features an aluminum shell and a glass front panel. Ayaneo plans to ship this Android-based handheld globally.

  • Processor: More powerful than MediaTek Helio G99 (speculated to be Snapdragon G2 Gen 2)
  • Form Factor: Horizontal handheld with aluminum shell and glass front
  • Operating System: Android

Ayaneo states that the new processor will be more powerful than the MediaTek Helio G99 found in earlier models. Industry speculation suggests the chip could be the Snapdragon G2 Gen 2. The company has not officially confirmed the specific silicon used inside the device.

The announcement also teased other upcoming hardware from Ayaneo. These include a device called the Ayaneo Bitwave and the Konkr Pocket Block. Some reports suggest the Bitwave might serve as a more affordable variant of the Pocket Micro 2, but this remains unconfirmed.
