This Game Boy Advance clone is a cheap Android handheld from AYANEO

The AYANEO KONKR Pocket Advance is a handheld game console with a design that’s heavily inspired by Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance, potentially making it a good fit for playing classic games designed for that console. But the AYANEO version is a modern device with a 3.5 inch, 960 x 640 pixel display, MediaTek Helio G90T processor, and Android-based operating system.

It’s available for pre-order […]

Lilbits: Samsung’s wider-screen foldable, AYANEO’s $3000 handheld, and Pebble Watch faces on smartphone’s second screen

Samsung has expanded its smartphone lineup with three new Galaxy Z foldables, including one model with a wider-than-usual display. After suspending orders for a high-priced handheld gaming PC earlier this year due to unsustainable pricing (thank RAMageddon), the AYANEO NEXT 2 is available for purchase again… with prices ranging from $3,000 to $5,200. But if […]

Lilbits: Punkt MC03 Google-free Android phone now shipping, AYANEO Pocket Micro 2 goes up for pre-order (again)

Earlier this year, Punkt introduced a new smartphone with a privacy-focused, Google-free, Android-based operating system called AphyOS. Now it’s shipping.

And last month, AYANEO launched a pocket-sized handheld game console… which sold out almost immediately, apparently because the company only made about 100. Now they’re making… some more. At least enough for two more batches of […]

AYANEO will take pre-orders for at least two more batches of the Pocket MICRO 2 handheld game console with a 3.5 inch screen, SD865-class processor, and Android-based OS. The first batch was only for about 100 units, which sold out quickly. https://www.ayaneo.com/article/942 #AYANEO #AYANEOPocketMicro2 #HandheldGameConsole

Lilbits: Clicks Communicator, another use for the Anbernic RG Rotate, and two tiny operating systems

Clicks began taking pre-orders for the Communicator at the start of the year, and plans to begin […]

The Anbernic RG Rotate is a weird handheld game console with a flip-out controller that hides behind a 3.5 inch, 720 x 720 touchscreen display when you don't need it. This $33 charging dock turns it into a cute little alarm clock. https://retrododo.com/theres-now-a-dock-for-the-anbernic-rg-rotate/ #Anbernic #AnbernicRGRotate #HandheldGameConsole #DockingStation

Limited Edition AYANEO Pocket MICRO 2 gaming handheld has a 3.5 inch screen, Snapdragon 865-class performance, and $239 starting price

Some gaming handhelds are so big that they can serve double-duty as laptop computers. The AYANEO Pocket MICRO 2 is at the other end of the spectrum.

Acer Nitro Blaze Link is a handheld console for game streaming (and not much more)

The Acer Nitro Blaze Link (GN722) is a new gaming handheld with a 7 inch FHD+ display and  some intriguing features like an operating system based on Debian Linux and a body that weighs just 464 grams (1.02 pounds).

But before you get too excited, it’s also designed to be a relatively inexpensive handheld made for game streaming games from more powerful hardware. It has just 1GB of […]

Lilbits: The trouble with lifetime subscriptions, Google puts AI everywhere, and the Trump Phone is real?

Once upon a time, Plex was a free app that was a fork of XBMC (Kodi) that you could use as a full-screen media player on a computer, or to stream media over a local network. And you can still use it for those things. But these days Plex also offers ad-supported TV & movie streaming, and subscription services that let you stream your personal media collection over the internet (so you can watch […]

Anbernic RG Rotate now available for $83 and up (handheld game console with flip-out display)

The Anbernic RG Rotate is a handheld game console with mediocre specs that should be good enough for retro gaming, but which may struggle with some newer games. But it’s still an interesting little handheld for two reasons: its flip-out display makes the RG Rotate a very portable option for handheld gaming, and it’s pretty cheap.

Anbernic introduced the handheld earlier this year, and now the […]

Anbernic RG Rotate handheld game console with flip-out display coming soon for $88 and up

Handheld devices with square displays that flip upward to reveal a keypad or gamepad are having a moment… again.

Now you can run Steam games in Linux on some handhelds that ship with Android

The line between PC and mobile devices is getting blurrier all the time. Apple’s MacBook Neo uses an Arm-based processor made for iPhones… and still manages to outperform many mid-range Windows laptops with Intel or AMD processors. Qualcomm is making some of the fastest laptop chips available for Windows PCs today. And emulation software allows you to run some x86 apps and games on Arm-based […]

Handheld game console maker AYN responds to RAMageddon with price hike, storage downgrade

The rising costs of RAM and storage are driving up the cots of devices that use RAM and storage chips. Makers of laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, and gaming handhelds have raised prices or discontinued products in response.

One of the latest examples? Handheld game console maker AYN has announced two changes to some of its Android-powered handhelds. Moving forward, the Ayn Odin 3 and […]

But what makes this console stand out is that you can remove the controller and use it with a smartphone.

Lilbits: Anbernic’s unusual handheld, reMarkable’s next tablet, and SteamOS 3.8

Anbernic is a Chinese company that has made a lot of handheld game consoles over the years. But a short video making the rounds shows an upcoming handheld from the company that’s unlike anything else we’ve seen from Anbernic.

At first it looks like a tiny phone with a small square touchscreen display. But then the person holding it flicks the screen so that it rotates 90 degrees while it […]

Dead Cells was ported to tiny #linux retro handhelds. This took a lot of work in recompiling the game's code to arm64, patching the game to reduce graphics calls and optimizing its assets for the reduced specs. Really impressive things are happening in this world.

One killer feature of the #3ds, that I've yet to see replicated anywhere else, is the note-taking applet. You'd go to the home menu, tap the pencil, and you'd be able see a screenshot of the game you were playing and write/draw anything.
Having to pause my game and whip out my phone to take a note takes me out of it significantly.

Anbernic RG Vita and RG Vita Pro are Android handheld game consoles with familiar design

Chinese handheld game console maker Anbernic is preparing to launch two new handhelds that look… a lot like an old handheld.

Pricing and availability information hasn’t been announced yet, but […]

AYANEO offers free Pocket Air Mini handheld to Pocket S Mini customers… to make up for smaller-than-expected battery

Last year’s AYANEO Pocket Air Mini and the new Pocket S Mini are both compact handheld game consoles with 4.2 inch, 1280 x 960 pixel displays and Android-based software. But while the Pocket Air Mini is a budget device that currently sells for $90 and up, the Pocket S Mini is more of a premium handheld that starts at $319.

So it’s a little disappointing to see that a manufacturing and […]

Nearly two years after introducing the AYANEO Pocket S handheld game console with a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 processor and a 6 inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel IPS LCD touchscreen display, AYANEO is preparing to launch a smaller model that might be a better match for the “pocket” name.
