AYANEO Pocket DS: A New Dual-Screen Handheld Powered by Snapdragon G3x Gen 2

AYANEO introduces the Pocket DS, a powerful dual-screen gaming handheld with a 165Hz OLED display and Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 chip. 

AYANEO is back in the spotlight with a string of new product reveals, and one standout device has quickly caught the attention of handheld gaming fans: the AYANEO Pocket DS. While the company has recently been busy unveiling a smartphone, a gaming laptop, and even launching a new budget line called Konkr, it’s the Pocket DS that’s leading the charge toward a global release.

The AYANEO Pocket DS is shaping up to be a strong contender in the handheld gaming space. Designed with performance and portability in mind, it’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 chip, the same processor found in AYANEO’s other high-performance devices like the Pocket Evo. This gives the Pocket DS the muscle needed to run modern Android games smoothly while keeping power consumption efficient.

One of the highlights of the Pocket DS is its 165Hz OLED main display, which promises ultra-smooth visuals and vibrant colors. The high refresh rate is a big deal for gamers who want responsive and fluid gameplay, especially in fast-paced titles. Backing up the visuals is a hefty 8,000 mAh battery, which ensures longer gaming sessions without the constant need for charging.

Another key feature that sets the Pocket DS apart is its dual-screen design, reminiscent of classic handheld consoles but modernized for today's mobile gaming experience. It offers more flexibility for gameplay and multitasking, giving players a more dynamic and immersive interface.

Gamers and tech enthusiasts can catch the AYANEO Pocket DS in action at ChinaJoy 2025 in Shanghai. It will be showcased at the Qualcomm Snapdragon booth on August 1, giving attendees a firsthand look at what could be one of this year’s most exciting handheld consoles.

As AYANEO continues to innovate and expand its lineup, the Pocket DS stands out not just as a nostalgic nod to dual-screen gaming but as a serious piece of hardware built for today’s demanding mobile games.
