  • AYANEO announced the Pocket DS, an upcoming dual-screened Android gaming handheld.
  • The first of its kind, it features two enormous screens and inset sticks.
  • The company also teased a new Game Boy-like vertical handheld, and several Windows devices.
  • The Pocket DS will have a full announcement event tomorrow.

AYANEO has been absolutely crushing it this year, with tons of premium releases and unique form-factors added to its catalog of retro gaming handhelds. The Flip 1S DS was an interesting (albiet expensive) foray into Nintendo DS-style Windows clamshell handhelds, but fans have been clamoring for an Android-powered alternative. And now the company has delivered.

The AYANEO Pocket DS is an upcoming Android clamshell with two massive screens. A finished prototype was shown off in a livestream today, and although no specs were revealed, a few details can be approximated. The top screen appears to be a standard 16:9 panel, likely around 6.7-inches. The bottom screen is smaller to make space for the controls, likely rocking a more retro-friendly 4:3 aspect ratio.
