Competitor AYANEO gives a warning to Retroid and Anbernic, announcing its forthcoming KONKR Pocket Fit device
In the ever-evolving world of handheld gaming, AYANEO, a renowned name in the industry, has announced the launch of a new sub-brand named KONKR. The star of the show is the KONKR Pocket FIT, a budget-friendly Android handheld gaming device that promises to deliver a premium experience at an affordable price point.
The KONKR Pocket FIT is powered by the latest Snapdragon G3 Gen 3, the same chip that made its debut at GDC earlier this year. This device boasts flagship-level specs, including a 6-inch 1080p 144Hz display, up to 20W peak performance, and an impressive 8000mAh battery.
While the exact pricing for the KONKR Pocket FIT has not been officially announced yet, it is expected to be below the starting price of the AYANEO Pocket S2, which retails at $439 for the 8GB/128GB model. Given KONKR's positioning as a budget sub-brand from AYANEO, the Pocket FIT is likely to be priced within the $250 to $400 range.
The KONKR Pocket FIT stands out in the market with its faster 144Hz refresh rate compared to the 60Hz panel of the AYANEO Pocket S2. This feature, coupled with its high-end specifications, could potentially disrupt the market and offer exceptional value for gamers on a budget.
Meanwhile, the AYANEO Pocket S2 and Pocket S2 Pro, currently available in the market, retail at $439 and $559, respectively. However, prices are set to increase to $499 and $619, respectively, after the Indiegogo campaign concludes.
AYANEO's foray into the budget-friendly Android handheld gaming market is a strategic move aimed at targeting budget-conscious gamers or newcomers. The KONKR Pocket FIT, as the first flagship product from KONKR, is scheduled for release later this year.
It's worth noting that other players in the market, such as Anbernic with the RG557 and RG477M, and Retroid with the Pocket Flip 2 and Pocket Classic, also offer Android-based handhelds. However, the KONKR Pocket FIT, if priced appropriately, could set a new standard in the market with its high-end specifications at a potentially budget-friendly price.
Stay tuned for more updates on the KONKR Pocket FIT as official pricing and specifications are announced.
Technology has played a significant role in the evolution of handheld gaming, as evidenced by the latest Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 powering the KONKR Pocket FIT.
