"Ayaneo started teasing the Pocket Play, its first smartphone, back in November, and then in December it showed us what it would look like, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play vibes and all. Today, Ayaneo has finally revealed the chipset sitting at the helm of the Pocket Play. It's MediaTek's Dimensity 9300. That's an odd choice, given that the SoC in question came out in 2023. Sure, it was MediaTek's top dog of 2023, but it's more than two years old."
"And if, we assume for pricing purposes, Ayaneo wanted to go with MediaTek instead of Qualcomm (since MediaTek's top of the line SoCs are always rumored to be significantly cheaper), then why not the Dimensity 9500? Anyway, Ayaneo revealed back in December that the Pocket Play's slide-out bit houses a D-pad, ABXY buttons, and a pair of touchpads that can function as joysticks."
Ayaneo's Pocket Play is a smartphone with slide-out gaming controls including a D-pad, ABXY buttons, and touchpads that can act as joysticks. The device includes L1, L2, R1, and R2 shoulder buttons, dual rear cameras, stereo speakers, and a USB-C port. Ayaneo selected MediaTek's Dimensity 9300 as the Pocket Play's chipset, a flagship SoC released in 2023. That choice is notable because the 9300 is over two years old and raises questions about why the Dimensity 9500 was not chosen if cost-sensitive decisions favored MediaTek over Qualcomm. The Pocket Play will come in black and white; launch timing is still unclear.
