# AYANEO Pocket ACE

> The AYANEO Pocket ACE is a 4.5-inch horizontal Android gaming handheld built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, aimed at emulation fans who want one pocketable device that can run everything from Game Boy to PS2. It launched on Indiegogo in April 2025, blew past its funding goal by over 1,900%, and picked up an Editor's Choice from Android Authority for punching well above its 310-gram weight.

- **Created by:** AYANEO
- **Launched:** 2025
- **Platforms:** android, handheld
- **Pricing:** Paid hardware. Indiegogo early-bird pricing ran from about $339 (8GB/128GB) to $599 (16GB/1TB Retro Power Edition). Expected retail pricing sits roughly between $459 and $699 depending on RAM/storage configuration.

## Features

- **Snapdragon G3x Gen 2** — Qualcomm's gaming-focused SoC running at up to 15W sustained, with a Kryo Prime Ultra core at 3.36GHz and an Adreno A32 GPU - enough for smooth PS2 and lighter PSP/GameCube emulation.
- **4.5-inch 3:2 display** — 1620x1080 IPS panel at 433 PPI, 130% sRGB and 400 nits, with a borderless design. The tall 3:2 ratio suits retro titles better than a widescreen panel.
