The AYANEO Pocket Micro was (and still is) one of my most loved retro handhelds of 2024, and is one of the most beautiful gaming devices I have ever used. All thanks to the minimal design, metal shell and high quality materials, combined with a crisp, high PPI border-less display. One of the only negatives I had about the original Pocket Micro was regarding the analogue sticks that felt out of place, they portruded out of the shell which made it awkward to slide in and out of my pocket daily.

GoRetroid teased this device a few weeks back, alongside the reveal of the new Retroid Pocket Flip 2, which makes me believe they're ready to take ownership of the handheld emulator scene throughout 2025. They have the Retroid Pocket 5 and the Retroid Pocket Mini on the market that can currently emulate up to PS2 in a horizontal form -factor, and now they're going back to their roots with a vertical, pocketable size to take on the RG35XX and TRIMUI Brick.
