Ayaneo unveiled a limited‑edition Pocket AIR Mini in partnership with IGS and Arcade Home during its May 21 product session. The handheld carries a retro‑arcade theme and ships with officially licensed titles such as Knights of Valour and Oriental Legend, plus a built‑in emulator. It retains the 4.2‑inch 4:3 screen, MediaTek Helio G90T processor, Hall‑effect joysticks, triggers and a 4,500 mAh battery.

Two memory configurations appear: 2 GB RAM with 32 GB storage for $129.99, and 3 GB RAM with 64 GB for $139.99. Ayaneo’s Konkr sub‑brand previewed the Pocket Block, a vertical Android device borrowing Game Boy ergonomics and AI‑focused features. Meanwhile development of the flagship Next 2 Windows handheld progresses, built on the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 platform with a 9.06‑inch OLED panel and 116.1 Wh battery.

Ayaneo confirmed June shipments for the Next 2 remain on track despite a March preorder pause caused by rising material costs. The company warns it cannot guarantee extra production runs, urging customers to register preferred specs via support. With the AIR Mini IGS edition and upcoming Pocket Play hybrid Android handheld, Ayeneo pushes a diverse portfolio aimed at both retro enthusiasts and high‑performance Windows gamers.
