Review: Ayaneo Pocket Micro is the best reactionary lawyer

Pocket Micro is the third Android mobile control unit from Android since Air Pocket was launched in 2023. It provides a more affordable and portable games experience of full -size portable -sized laptops like Steam and Rog Ally, but Pocket Micro is designed to play reactionary games instead of the latest AAA titles. Designed to simulate the aesthetics of Game Boy Micro, this console provides a great games experience.

Ayaneo’s modern keyboards are strong devices, although they offer extensive expensive devices for those who want to spend time with reactionary games from “the nineties and first”. Pocket Micro solves the ability to withstand costs without getting rid of quality building that makes Ayaneo keyboards great.

Price, availability and specifications

Ayaneo Pocket Micro is only available through Indiegogo, but we expect to see it on the Ayaneo website after the full version. It is served in three colors: black, red or black with gray accents. Black and red options are available with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB or 8 GB and 256 GB for $ 219 and $ 249, respectively, but the price of early birds in Ayanio reduces $ 30 from both prices. The gray option is only available with 6 GB RAM and store 128 GB for $ 279 with a $ 20 discount by offering early bird prices.

The model that was sent for review is the initial preliminary model of the 8 GB model. According to Ayneo, the operator’s feeling, shoulder buttons, ABXY buttons, and the headphones performance, should not have been completed before the full version.

What is good in the Ayanio Jeep Micro?

It is the perfect platform for reactionary games

I have been playing Game Boy Advance games for years on my phone. I have always kept a tab on the various portable keyboards that have been released over the years, but the Pocket Micro provides the best value for money, with a lot of great features.

The first thing I noticed when removing the small pocket from the box is that the building quality is great for a unit of control unit from this price. It is a solid rectangular mass of aluminum CNC alloy light enough for long games sessions, but it does not feel cheap or military. Ayanio told us that this initial model version may contain minor defects in the cover, but I could not define anything in the mines. It looks exceptional. I could have been convinced that this is the final production version. The introduction to the small pocket is a solid block of glass, and while it is vulnerable to coffin, the overall appearance is excellent.

Ayaneo stated that the feeling of buttons and operators has not been completed yet, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with them now. Facial buttons and fenders click satisfying and do not suffer from the tip that affects cheap gaming units. The control stick contains a decent snapshot for them, and although I wanted to be larger, it could have contributed to the size of the size that I would look at later.

On the side of the program, Ayaneo claims that the console is designed to play GBA and “almost all PS2 games” smoothly. Although GBA games are a great experience on Pocket Micro, I used to change “almost all PS2 games smoothly” into “some PS2 games smoothly with embarrassing precisely”. However, I will not count this poor PS2 support as a point against the small pocket, as it was designed to match GBA, which is what it does properly.

Pocket Micro Games GBA offers the original decision, making it amazing. It is a little exaggeration for games that are often used by Pixel-Aart graphics, but cannot match the experience of pure GBA games.

The battery life of GBA games is sufficient. I recorded about 5 hours, I played Pokemon LVIVEN without stopping, although the number of your kilometers will differ according to the games you play.

The original Android performance is amazing. Minecraft smoothly without any Fraamereate drops, and while this required game played moderate to reduce the battery life to about four hours, I can make a happiness that Pocket Micro can play most Android games outside the most demanding titles such as Genshin Impact. However, there is a consensus problem that I will address later.

What is bad in the Ayanio Micro pocket?

Ayaspace still needs a lot of work

In my evaluation of Ayaneo Pocket Air last year, my biggest complaint was that the Ayaspace app, Ayaneo’s Simulating Games, was often confusing, uninterrupted and unrelated. Almost a year later, a little changed.

If you are used to simulating games on a PC and Android, you will not have a big problem in importing your games to Ayaspace. Once you are finished, the result is a well -organized library where you can browse games recently, sort games in categories, and filter Console games. However, AYANEO only provides the most primitive instructions for this process. Although it took about half an hour to import my GBA games, this was thanks to my experience in preparing Ayaspace with the air pocket. New arrivals for simulation will find Pocket Micro experience directly a frustrating experience outside the box.

Of course, you can completely ignore Ayaspace and play games directly with simulations from the Play Store. However, Ayaspace is the first thing you see when starting the console, so it makes sense for beginners to assume that this is the easiest way to start playing simulator games on Micro. There are no links to common questions for roaming, only a brief list of compatible simulation libraries.

Even when you successfully import your games to Ayaspace, the application still does not work properly. There is a useful data manager in Ayaspace where you can automatically import all the identification data of your games, such as the art of the box and descriptions. Unfortunately, the art of the box will not appear, even when I tried to import it manually, leaving the main Ayaspace screen of Ayanio slogans. The lack of the art of the box may seem a small problem at the beginning, but imagine that all your books are wrapped with identical covers on your book shelf, and you will see the problem.

Usually, I will forgive these problems as symptoms of the initial model device, but since I have the same problems in the air pocket in 2023, I am not sure that the full version will change a lot.

Outside the simulation games, there are some problems in playing original Android games. While many games like Minecraft are perfectly operating, dead cells have been destroyed every time you played them. Other games like Terraria are not compatible with the small pocket at all.

As we mentioned earlier, building a high -quality Marco pocket and comfortable for long games sessions, but applying a frustrating control stick. I prefer to use the D-Pad to play GBA games, but I had to disable the left control stick, even when I didn’t use it. It is almost impossible to avoid pushing the control stick when pressing the download button on the download without holding your thumb at an uncomfortable angle. Even after being disabled, he was still on the way during my toys. It is a small problem, but it has become increasingly frustrated whenever it is played.

I preferred to see the control stick clips like Ayanio’s pocket, but the small pocket is very small for this design. It is definitely not a loser, but it hinders the experience of comfortable games.

Should you buy it?

If you need a GBA platform reliably, the Ayaneo Pocket Micro is the best portable controller you can buy now. Its reasonable price and high quality building makes it the best way to play carried games from this era, and the ability to enjoy playing store games is a great blessing. However, the lack of support for moderate PS2 games and the incomplete Ayaspace program in a frustrating way means that beginners may want to stick to simulating games on their Android phone at the present time.

However, if you are ready to invest time in preparing a small pocket and have a gaming simulation experience, it is a great control unit with reasonable players to play reactionary games.
