If there’s one retro gaming handheld OEM that doesn’t rest on its laurels, it’s AYANEO. The company is currently juggling two very high-profile launches in the Pocket DS and KONKR Pocket FIT, but now we’ve finally gotten our first real look at a third handheld, and it might be one you can actually afford.

The AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini is an entry-level device with a very compact form factor. It looks very much like its older sibling, the Pocket AIR, which launched back in 2023. As the company’s first Android-based device, it helped set the scene for the rest of its lineup, and now the highly sought-after handheld has been scrunched down and reduced in price.
