AYANEO Reveals the Full Specs of the Pocket S. IGG Pre-Launch Begins Now!

In case you missed it, AYANEO has been ramping up marketing for their upcoming Pocket S handheld. In fact, the Indiegogo pre-launch page for the device just went live! The Pocket S is a slim, high-end Android device, which should be capable of handling just about any emulator currently on the Android market, including Switch emulation. Here are some pics of the device:

As you can see, it looks a little more “premium” than most Android handhelds we’re used to. And if you’re worried about the device having a completely flat back (which I was), it looks like AYANEO will be selling a protective case that doubles as a grip for the device:

But you want to hear about what actually powers this high-end device right? Well, don’t worry, because we have the full specifications of the device right here! Take a look:

• CPU: Snapdragon® G3x Gen 2 Gaming Platform丨Up to 15W Power Draw
