AYANEO Classic Preview: A new competitor in the retro handheld market?

The retro handheld market has been very lively recently, and AYANEO, as a "star player" in this field, has successfully attracted a large number of fans with a series of eye-catching products. Remember the amazing Pocket Micro last year? The borderless display and the perfect Game Boy Advance gaming experience are simply irresistible! And now, AYANEO has released another "blockbuster" - a new model called "Classic". What is so special about this new machine? Can it break through the siege in the retro handheld market? Today, let's talk about this topic!
What does the Classic trailer reveal?
The trailer for AYANEO Classic is only a few seconds long, but it contains a lot of information. First of all, the most eye-catching thing is the outline of the D-pad and ABXY buttons, but strangely, the dual thumbsticks on the Pocket Micro seem to be missing. Coupled with the phrase "the classic and pure you want", people can't help but wonder: Is Classic going to go the "retro, retro, and retro" route? Maybe it will be like Anbernic's classic model, with a candy-bar design, removing the thumbsticks, and mapping the functions of the analog sticks to the D-pad.
In addition, the trailer also makes people wonder: Will Classic use an OLED screen? After all, after removing the thumbsticks, there must be some new tricks to attract players! There is also the operating system. Will Classic be AYANEO's first retro handheld equipped with Linux? If so, it may become a new favorite for retro game enthusiasts.
Classic vs Anbernic: Which one is better?
When it comes to retro handheld game consoles, Anbernic is definitely a name that cannot be avoided. Models like RG28XX and RG35XX H have won the hearts of many players with their candy-bar design and simple control methods. As soon as the preview of AYANEO Classic came out, it was inevitable that people would compare it with Anbernic's products. Anbernic's devices usually do not have thumb joysticks, but support function mapping, and Classic may continue this idea while improving its competitiveness through upgrades such as OLED screens.
Of course, price is also a key factor. Anbernic has always been known for its high cost performance. If Classic can have more advantages in price, it will definitely have the potential to become a "new Internet celebrity" in the retro handheld game console market.

Unsolved mysteries of Classic: What are we waiting for?
Although the preview of Classic is exciting, there are still many unanswered questions. For example, will it be AYANEO's first retro handheld with Linux system? What will the price be? Can it compete head-on with brands like Anbernic? Will the removal of the thumb joystick affect the experience of some games? Also, when will Classic be released? Will there be any first-release benefits? These questions are so exciting that we can't wait for AYANEO to reveal the answers.
Conclusion: Let's talk about your expectations!
