Ayaneo Pocket S detailed & it could beat the best Android handheld

The Ayaneo Pocket S is poised to beat out other Android-handheld competition, with its Snapdragon G3x Gen 3 chipset and unique borderless full-screen display.

The Ayaneo Pocket S was originally announced last year, but now its Indiegogo page is up and running This upcoming handheld is poised to compete against high-end gaming smartphones with its dedicated gaming chipset and unique smartphone-inspired design.

While Ayaneo has yet to reveal how much the premium device is going to set us back, it has revealed a more in-depth look at the specs, and what sets it apart from the slew of Android handhelds out there.

Predominantly, the Ayaneo Pocket S marks the debut of the first use of the Snapdragon G3x gen 2 chipset, designed with gaming in mind. The Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 is equipped with Wi-Fi 7 and a 5G modem, so the Pocket S won’t falter when it comes to fast connection speeds and high-quality cloud gaming.

With other Android handhelds, like the Ayn-Odin 2 packing a punch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the Pocket S should be in good hands. The Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 also boasts higher CPU and GPU speeds. But, it remains to be seen just how well the chip stacks up to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
