It’s not exactly a great time to buy retro handhelds at the moment. A slew of brands, including AYN and Retroid, have been raising prices in response to the ongoing memory shortage. However, this may be the right time if you were already planning on getting one of AYANEO’s products, as price hikes are coming.
As reported by Retro Dodo, AYANEO is warning its community that it currently has very low stock of the Pocket Vert and Pocket S Mini. As long as this inventory lasts, the prices will remain the same. Once new shipments arrive at the factory, the company plans to start increasing prices.
AYANEO statement:
“These models have seen strong demand in recent periods, and inventory is now very limited. We are also planning price increases for these products soon, so we strongly encourage anyone interested to make a purchase as early as possible.”

The price hikes are attributed to the ongoing RAM crunch. Since it’s unknown how long supplies will last, the exact timing and magnitude of the increases have not been disclosed by AYANEO.
