Unboxing the Ayaneo Pocket Air Retro Edition handheld console, an Android device designed for emulation and playing Play Store titles with proper physical controls. The Ayaneo Pocket Air Retro Edition boasts built-in gaming tools, a cooling fan and a huge battery, so it's great for gaming on the go. But is it one of the best handheld game consoles in 2023 and is it good at emulation?
Here's my early review after a long weekend of playing some of my favourite classic titles, let us know your thoughts below!
The Ayaneo Pocket Air Retro sports a slim and light design, making it easy to carry around all day. You can play ROMs of classic games from the Game Boy, PS1 & PS2, Game Cube and dozens of other consoles, with a big battery to keep you going all day.
Aya Neo's 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with 16:9 aspect ratio boasts a 1920x1080 pixel resolution, so it's crisp as well as poppy. But the Pocket Air Retro Edition's display isn't as bright as some rivals, so it's harder to see in sunlight.
Performance comes courtesy of the Dimensity 1200 while a triple-speed fan helps to keep things cool. That means the Ayaneo Pocket Air can play any Android game and also handles emulation well. I only saw serious judders when playing Game Cube titles.
So that's what I think of the Ayaneo Pocket Air Retro Edition, but are you tempted? Let us know in the comments below!

@cryengine_x 8 ай бұрын

looks slick and is a contender, but the problem is much more powerful retro handhelds are coming for around the same price (Odin 2, which has a SD 8 Gen 2 and is supposedly entry priced at 299). Now the extra power might not matter too much but it's always nice, plus I think it may help for Switch emulation? Granted AYN typically has delays and it's only slated for December. The OLED here is a big plus tho.

@@RyanNiemer G Cloud can do most emulation too. Especially what I care about as I find early 3D atrocious. I returned mine because the d-pad is bad for 2D fighters. But still overall I was super impressed. Wish they'd make a more powerful G Cloud 2 with a better D-Pad.

Android 12 isn't the worst choice for a device like this. Android is becoming increasingly locked down when it comes to file management. 12 it's probably the sweet spot for features and flexibility. Assuming you're not doing any banking on this you'll be fine. Sorry to live so relentlessly in the real world.

I have a question. With how stingy and strict Nintendo is about people emulating their games, how do these retro handheld survive from their grubby hands?

Those handhelds don't come with games pre-installed. Nintendo has no grounds to sue the manufacturers.

If I'm being completely honest.... i don't see the point of a handheld with a chip meant for smartphones that can only play mobile games, seems like a waste of time at this point just get a phone lol

@fidelisitor8953 9 ай бұрын

I think the same too. These devices are basically smartphones with a different design and what's worse is they can't even do some of the stuff your phone can. The only thing that'll make it worth anything is if it's cheap like $200. Anything more than that isn't worth it.

@thriceborn7665 9 ай бұрын

Most smartphones don't have great cooling (save gaming phones) so you can't really play at length without some throttling. Emulation can put a major hurting on battery as well as native Android games. The active cooling on this and the battery make out pretty ideal is you do a lot of mobile gaming.

@cryengine_x 8 ай бұрын

@@fidelisitor8953 it's 300 lol. a flagship smartphone costs 1000. Plus if you actually play those backbone type things you'd know the experience is nothing as good as a fixed handheld. It's all creaky and not solid. That's not even mentioning phones have a super wide 20:9 aspect ratio which is poor for gaming. You will end up with big black bars unused on the sides. That can also happen with 16:9, but it's MUCH less. PLUSSS I worry about the USB C ports being damaged. The USB C port on my phone sometimes doesnt charge and I wonder if those few times I put it in my razr kishi could be to blame...it seems like a lot of flexing and stress on that USB-C port. Finally using your own phone is problematic. You have to take the phone case off which is annoying to me. You run down the charge. Etc. Best IMO to have a separate phone dedicated just for gaming. But now the problem is just that phone probably cost more than this whole handheld. I think they are a good option but you just dont understand a dedicated handheld feels so much better.
