AYANEO's recent releases span a wide price and performance range within Android handhelds. The company launched the Konkr Pocket Advance, a budget device modeled on the Game Boy Advance, with a 3.5-inch 3:2 LCD at 960x640, Android 12, and a MediaTek Helio G90T. Two models are on sale: $89 with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, and $109 with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. A reviewer called it an excellent entry device despite soft buttons and limited power for demanding games.

At the higher end, the Konkr Pocket Fit now ships with a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and Android 16, replacing the previous Snapdragon G3x Gen 3 model. It keeps the ergonomic grip and trigger lock mechanism, and is priced at 128,000 yen at PC One in Osaka Nipponbashi, where all three colors are in stock.

In between, AYANEO announced the Pocket MICRO 2, a successor to its Game Boy Micro-style Android handheld. It upgrades to a Snapdragon 865-class custom processor, which the company claims delivers roughly 220% better performance than the original. It retains a 3.5-inch 960x640 LCD screen and runs Android 13, with prices starting at $239.
