I've been watching the AYANEO Pocket VERT sharing session for almost an hour now, patiently waiting for a first sign of the Pocket VERT in all its glory. What I didnt' expect to see was a metal variant of the Pocket DMG being revealed in the run up to the main event.

Arthur Zhang casually opened up a Pocket DMG box to show us a grey metal version of the Pocket DMG which looks fantastic. Like the Pocket VERT, it looks very durable and stylish in equal measure, capitalising on the powerful performance of the Pocket DMG with a metal shell that will undoubtedly give as more premium feel to what was an impressive (but slightly flawed) handheld. It's like an enlarged TRIMUI Brick Hammer, and I'm not angry about it!

We don't have any other details about price or a release date as of yet (although you can expect it to be pretty pricey!), but the fact that we've seen one on camera means that information shouldn't be too far away. Keep your eyes peeled for more info as and when I get it!
