Ayaneo launches the tiny but mighty Pocket S Mini handheld.

Under the hood is a Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 chip, starting at $319 for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The screen is a 4.2-inch 4:3 display perfect for retro titles. Plus, it’s got hall-effect joysticks and triggers, housed in a glass and CNC-machined metal body that looks a lot like the Pocket Vert.
