Analogue is releasing a wide range of updates across their products recently, especially the Analogue 3D and Pocket, which are two devices I love dearly.
Today Analaogue announced a new update is coming to the Analogue Pocket, specifically tweaking a few performance upgrades alongside a much-welcomed feature that auto-dims and auto-turns off your Analogue Pocket after a certain time.
It gives the user the ability to allow PocketOS to auto dim the Pocket's display after 5 minutes, and to completely turn off the device after two hours of being idle, which I would say is a respectable ammount of time given the fact battery life is precious these days, but they're offering the user the ability to adjust these times too, depending on your use cases.
They've also introduced more updates to the Dock, allowing you to now connect 8Bitdo Pro 3 and 64 controllers, making it even more compatible with modern-day controllers, which is always nice to see. The official notes are below, and the 2.6.0 patch is ready to be installed today via their website here.
