Ayaneo is restocking the Pocket Micro 2 handheld, bringing a limited batch of units back to the Western market. Buyers who missed the initial launch can now secure a device that runs retro and indie games on a compact form factor. This restock matters because the original run sold out quickly, leaving many enthusiasts without access to the hardware.
Limited batch of Snapdragon 865 handhelds arrives in late August
The specific model returning to inventory is the Stardust Purple Gamecube colorway. Ayaneo confirmed this restock via John Nee, who outlined the purchasing details for interested consumers. The device itself relies on a Snapdragon 865 processor, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage to handle its software tasks.
Pocket Micro 2 Specifications
- Processor: Snapdragon 865
- RAM: 6GB
- Storage: 128GB
- Display: 3.5-inch 960×640
- Colorway: Stardust Purple
The handheld features a 3.5-inch display with a 960×640 resolution. This screen size keeps the device pocketable while providing enough pixel density for clear text and game graphics. The Stardust Purple finish distinguishes this restock from the traditional black and white units that were available earlier.
Pricing for the Stardust Purple unit is set at $269 USD (around $270). Traditional black and white units are available for $239 USD (around $239). The pre-order window opens on July 10th at 8:00 PM Pacific time. Shipping is expected to begin in late August 2024, meaning buyers will not receive their devices immediately.
We have been tracking Pocket Micro 2 closely — see our earlier coverage on Ayaneo Pocket Micro 2 Battery Capacity. The total quantity of these restock units remains unclear, as the source describes the pre-order as extremely limited. It is uncertain if this batch matches the original 110 units or if other configurations will appear later.
