The anticipation for AYANEO's next flagship Android gaming handheld is reaching a fever pitch. Following its initial unveiling in April, the company has now officially confirmed the complete specifications for the Pocket S2 while dropping strong hints about its imminent crowdfunding launch date.
Positioned firmly at the high-end, the Pocket S2 aims to be a powerhouse, driven by the cutting-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 3 platform. This chip, designed explicitly for premium gaming devices, promises significantly improved CPU and GPU performance over its predecessors, targeting demanding Android games and advanced emulation.
AYANEO's official specifications page (https://ayaneo.com/article/883) leaves little to the imagination:

- Controls: Full suite including Hall Effect sensing joysticks and triggers (for drift resistance and precision), dual vibration motors, and a 6-axis gyroscope.
