Along with the recent launch of the AMD Strix Halo-powered Ayaneo Next 2 , Ayaneo also announced the Ayaneo Pocket Vert in its latest 2025-2026 Strategy Sharing Session video on YouTube . The Vert is an Android-powered gaming handheld that is apparently intended for mobile emulation of retro games. It should also be capable of playing current mobile games intended for portrait-orientation gaming, although it's unclear how much tinkering will be required to get those games to install and work properly.
Exact specifications have yet to be revealed, but Ayaneo says that it will feature an "ultra-HD" display, suggesting that it might have a 4K resolution. The exact display size and aspect ratio are also unknown, although something like 1:1 or 2:3 seem likely, given the handheld's "retro" intentions. During the presentation, Ayaneo teased the form factor of the Vert in the bottom portion of an imageāthe third image embedded below. What appears to be a Vert laying on its side looks to be split in half, with the top (or left in the image) half being dedicated to display duties, while the bottom (right) will be a thicker control portion with an angular design. Materials are, again, unclear, but Ayaneo says that it will use "premium" materials, suggesting that there may be an aluminium frame. It doesn't look like the new device will feature any of the flip-out or slide-out functions of the Ayaneo Pocket DS or Ayaneo Slide.
