According to the teaser video, the AYANEO Pocket VERT’s body employs CNC-machined solid-block construction. Compared to the retro-inspired AYANEO Pocket DMG, which pays homage to the Game Boy, it gives a more refined and mature impression.
The display measures 3.5 inches with a resolution of 1600×1440 pixels using an LCD panel. In contrast, the AYANEO Pocket DMG features a 4-inch 1240×1080 organic EL panel. While the screen size is smaller here, the resolution has increased—making this upgrade notable. Some may be concerned about the shift from OLED to LCD technology.
From the video, it appears that the entire front surface—including the display—is covered with strengthened glass in a bezel-less design.

The gamepad section includes a D-pad and four face buttons, plus three additional buttons on the lower front. Notably, it does not feature analog sticks—unlike the AYANEO Pocket DMG. However, one point of concern is that the buttons appear smaller than those found in previous AYANEO products.
The specific SoC (System on a Chip) used remains undisclosed at this time, though AYANEO has confirmed it will reveal further details soon.
Additionally, on October 31, AYANEO shared silhouette images of its upcoming gamer-focused smartphone, the AYANEO Phone.

The AYANEO Phone is part of the AYANEO REMAKE series, which focuses on creating products inspired by historic digital devices. The silhouette image shows a vertically oriented body and an external camera. Given the official X post stating “When mobile phone meets the soul of gaming handheld,” it seems this device will incorporate distinctive features from classic handheld game consoles.
