Ayaneo’s first Android phone looks like a return of the Xperia Play

Retro gaming handheld shaper Ayaneo has yet revealed the creation of its first Android phone, which has been teased since August. Fittingly, it excessively is simply a throwback — to 2011’s Sony Ericcson Xperia Play.

The Pocket Play has a surface that slides up to uncover a afloat group of inset beingness controls, including a D-pad, ABXY truth buttons, and 2 information touch pads. There are copy sets of enarthrosis buttons information the backmost of the telephone too, though nary motion of a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Unfortunately, that’s each we know. The Pocket Play is only confirmed to motorboat “soon,” and the Kickstarter run page doesn’t uncover a azygous spec.

It’s really the second Xperia Play homage we’ve seen this year, pursuing Anbernic’s RG Slide. The Pocket Play looks substantially sleeker than the RG Slide, and should beryllium tin of replacing your phone, alternatively than only playing games — we expect it to costs substantially much than the Slide’s $189 value tag though.
