Gaming nostalgia and modern tech just had a tiny, glorious baby. Meet the AYANEO Pocket MICRO, a handheld console that shrinks everything great about gaming into a pocket-sized powerhouse. Ever wished your retro consoles had a glow-up? Well, here it is—with a CNC aluminum frame that says “premium” and a 3.5-inch borderless IPS screen that screams “I may be small, but I’m mighty.”
Under the hood, the Pocket MICRO runs on a MediaTek Helio G99 processor, backed by up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Translation? Retro gaming with the smoothness of a freshly buttered arcade joystick. The 3:2 aspect ratio keeps things looking sharp, while Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2 let you flex your wireless freedom. And if you’re the type who chooses your tech based on aesthetics (no shame), it comes in Obsidian Black, Charm Red, and Vintage Grey—because style points matter.
With Windows pre-installed, this tiny titan is ready to run everything from classic platformers to modern indies. Whether you’re reliving childhood favorites or discovering new ones, the AYANEO Pocket MICRO proves that good things really do come in small packages.
The AYANEO Pocket MICRO was successfully funded on Indiegogo and it is now available to order from AYANEO.com for US$199-US$259. It is offered in a choice of colors (Magic Black, Soul Red, Retro Gray, Retro Gold), and in 6 G+ 128 G and 8 G + 256 GB configurations.
