Pocket DS: World’s 1st Dual-Screen Android Handheld

Description

AYANEO Pocket DS Campaign Follow-Up:

Did the World’s First Dual-Screen Android Handheld Deliver on Its Promise?

When AYANEO dropped the curtain on the Pocket DS, it wasn’t just nostalgia — it was next-gen innovation with a retro soul. The campaign promised to reinvent the clamshell handheld for modern gamers with Android flexibility, cutting-edge specs, and sleek design.

Clearly, the world was listening.

Over 1,000 backers rallied behind the vision, pushing the project to a jaw-dropping 9,173% of its goal — raising over $4.5 million HKD from a modest target of $50,000. That’s not hype — that’s history.

But now that the campaign has ended, and the buzz has cooled, it’s time to ask…

Did Pocket DS Stick the Landing?

With all eyes on this futuristic clamshell, we’re following up to see if the Pocket DS turned out to be the ultimate portable Android gaming device, or if backers are still waiting for that first boot screen.

Here’s what we know from the campaign:

Hardware Highlights Recap:

• 7” 1080p OLED Main Display, 165Hz refresh — buttery smooth

• 5” 4:3 LCD Secondary Screen — pure retro love

• Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 — mobile gaming muscle

• 8000mAh battery with PD fast charging

• PC-grade turbo fan cooling (yes, really)

• CNC full-metal top cover with stepless hinge

• Tactile hall-effect joysticks & analog triggers

Honestly, the Pocket DS sounded like a dream. But dreams are one thing — delivery is another.
