Ayaneo Pocket Vert Portable Console to Feature Hidden Touchpad Under Front Panel

Thanks to a recent stream with Ayaneo's CEO Arthur Zhang, people got a better look at the Pocket Vert portable console, which will feature Android OS and a 3.5-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1600x1400.

Ayaneo CEO Arthur Zhang hosted a live stream dedicated to the Pocket Vert portable vertical console.

This is a device with three color options and a 3.5-inch LCD screen with a display resolution of 1600x1400 and a pixel density of 615 PPI (that's ten times the resolution of the Nintendo Game Boy "pixel-for-pixel").

It turns out that in addition to unmarked buttons and a minimalist D-pad, the Pocket Vert is equipped with a touchpad under the glass front panel. The touchpad spans the entire width of the device and is located under the D-pad and buttons. It can be configured to work as a left joystick, a right joystick, or both at once.

Previously, Ayaneo used a trackpad on the Pocket DMG, but this one is different in that it is completely invisible and doesn't get in the way when not needed. The Pocket Vert also inherits another feature from the DMG: the MagicSwitch side wheel. Like the original Game Boy, it adjusts the volume, and when pressed, it mutes the sound or, when held, opens the function menu.

The console's screen is surrounded by a solid glass panel and a high-quality metal case. In addition, the Pocket Vert received a 6000 mAh battery.

Unfortunately, Arthur Zhang did not present detailed specifications of the device and did not say exactly when pre-orders would open, but he did play various games on the Pocket Vert. You can watch the YouTube stream recording in the following places: part one, part two.
