The Ayaneo Pocket Vert is making waves as a new handheld console that can run games from the Dreamcast, GameCube, and PS2. Why does this matter? Well, it brings classic gaming right into your hands, and it looks pretty sleek while doing it.
Outstanding Display and Performance
The Pocket Vert boasts a 3.5-inch LTPS LCD touchscreen with a high resolution of 1,600 x 1,400. This display is designed for vibrant visuals, providing 615 pixels per inch (ppi) and a 60Hz refresh rate. Plus, the screen can shine brightly with 450 nits, making gaming enjoyable even in daylight.
With features like a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip and options for 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, the Pocket Vert is fit for serious gaming. It also includes a microSD slot for expanded storage and a 6,000mAh battery to keep you gaming longer.
Differences from Other Handhelds
The Pocket Vert distinguishes itself not only by its emulation capabilities but also by its design and materials. While previous models like the Pocket DMG were made of plastic, this new handheld utilizes premium metal for a more robust feel.
Unlike the Analogue Pocket, the Pocket Vert doesn’t support cartridge games. Instead, it relies on Android 14 software for emulating retro titles. Despite this, it’s expected to deliver solid performance across various games without any hiccups.
What Games Can You Play?
I think retro gamers will be pleased with the Pocket Vert’s compatibility. It can handle demanding titles from older consoles. Early reports suggest users achieved consistent frame rates of 60 fps for popular GameCube games, like “Super Mario Sunshine,” and for PS2 games, including “God of War.”
