At $179, The Pocket Micro Classic Is AYANEO's Cheapest Device Yet | Time Extension (www.timeextension.com)

AYANEO has recently launched the Pocket Micro Classic, a refreshed version of its Android-based handheld device. This new model comes with a lower price point at $179, $20 cheaper than the original, making it the company’s most affordable device yet.

The AYANEO Pocket Micro was praised for its compact design and aesthetic appeal. This new iteration retains those strong points, together with the powerful MediaTek Helio G99 chipset.

One notable difference is that it no longer includes dual analogue sticks. Both the Pocket Micro and Pocket Micro Classic can emulate up to the Dreamcast era.

In your opinion, is the absence of sticks a significant drawback?

Neat. I've been holding out for a new higher quality retro emulator without sticks. The old games I want to play don't use sticks, and the sticks make it harder to carry in a pocket.
