AYANEO's latest crowdfunded device has already smashed its backing goal in just 8 hours: the Pocket Vert.
This is AYANEO's "luxury" vertical handheld, made with a CNC-machined metal body, a high-resolution 3.5" display, a stunning front glass panel and packed with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU.
Originally, it was going to have a luxury price tag too, but to my surprise, AYANEO has started the pricing at just $269 for early bird backers on Indiegogo.
Specifications/Features
- 3.5" high-resolution LCD (1440 x 1600)
- Full CNC-machined metal body
- Integrated glass front panel
- Engraving-free keys
- Diamond-cut shoulder buttons
- Large 6000mAh battery for extended playtime
- Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU
- Up To 12GB RAM
- Finger Print Sensor Sleep Button
- MagicTouch Pad
There's no denying that this is a premium device, and admittedly, in an area of the market that is oversaturated. AYANEO is trying to create a device that competes with the build quality of the Analogue Pocket.
Yet, pairs it with an Android OS, a metal body, and AYASpace, which will be a magical mix, especially after reviewing the AYANEO Pocket DMG, which was a bunch of fun and well-built.
AYANEO's Indiegogo campaign ends on the 2nd February 2025, so be sure to back it before then if you want to be one of the first to get your hands on it.
