Playing Bioshock Remastered on a handheld device(Konkr Pocket Fit G3 Gen3,16GB) via GameNative 0.9.2 is totally awesome.
Totally smooth,what a pleasure to play,man.

I just want to share my anger.

I purchased a Pocket Air Mini 9th April with 4px shipping.

Almost a month later they send me my order with DHL without asking me.

Now DHL are charging me like 80USD (79909CLP) taxes and comissions fees, almost a second handheld!!!

I will not pay that amount of money and AYANEO is not responding to my messages.

Probably i will lose my money.

What would you do if you had the same problem?

Finally getting into Witcher 3

I know I'm years and years late to this party but this weekend I ended up starting playing Witcher 3 and, wow, what a game!

Granted, I'm only a couple of hours into it but the game is equally fun, beautiful and gripping.

There goes my plans for cleaning out the garage today :D

Ok, now back to tracking down Yennefer....

Ordered 4/26, label created 4/28, on my doorstep 5/9. Southern US

Controls are taking awhile to get used to. Light bleed on the bottom screen doesn't bother me the way I thought it would. Setup is a bit wonky but it's probably user error as I'm a spoiled emudeck user.

Other than that, I love it and very glad I bought it. Just wanted to make a positive post on here so it's not all doom and gloom.

TL;DR: I canceled my KONKR FIT HX470 order. The device still looks great on paper, but AYANEO’s communication around shipping has been too unclear for me to keep backing the order. Their website still listed late-April shipping well into May, while support privately told me shipping had slipped into May with no clear date. Delays happen, but outdated product info, vague support responses, and no public update made me lose confidence in buying directly from AYANEO.

I wanted to share my experience with the KONKR FIT order process as a general warning for anyone considering buying directly from AYANEO.

I recently decided to cancel my KONKR FIT HX470 order after several weeks of unclear communication, missed expectations, and confusing support responses.

The delay itself was not the main issue. Delays happen, especially with smaller handheld manufacturers. The bigger problem was the lack of clear communication around the delay.

When I ordered, AYANEO’s website stated that KONKR FIT units would start shipping in late April. We are now in the third week of May, and as of my last check, the product page still says “Shipping starts end of April.”

At the same time, AYANEO support told me directly over email that shipping had been delayed into May due to production capacity. Later, they told me the exact shipping date was still unclear, that production was ongoing, and that my April order likely would not be included in the first batch.

I asked multiple times whether the mid-May estimate applied to all KONKR FIT orders, only my order, or orders placed during a specific window. I also asked whether AYANEO planned to issue a broader public update to customers. Those questions were either not answered clearly or not answered at all.

At one point, I asked again for clarification on the shipping timeline, and the response I received was about the shipping fee not changing. I never asked about shipping fees.

That was the point where I felt like I couldn’t keep giving them the benefit of the doubt.

It’s especially frustrating because AYANEO really does make interesting products. The KONKR FIT still looks amazing on paper, and I was genuinely excited for it.

But at this point, it feels like AYANEO’s customer base is split into two groups: people who don’t fully know what they’re signing up for, and people who love the devices enough to put up with the company’s poor communication because they know they’ll probably get the device eventually.

I thought I could be in that second group this time. I knew AYANEO’s reputation going in, and I was willing to be patient because the KONKR FIT looked like such a perfect device for me. But after this experience, I just can’t get behind backing them directly as a customer.

I also don’t feel comfortable recommending the ordering experience to my YouTube audience when the company still has outdated shipping information live on the product page and has not provided clear public communication to customers.

AYANEO has publicly talked about improving their practices, but from my experience here, I haven’t seen that improvement reflected in the actual customer experience. So far, it feels like all talk and no follow-through.

For anyone considering ordering, I’m not saying don’t buy the device. It may end up being excellent. But I would strongly recommend knowing what kind of customer experience you may be signing up for, especially if you care about accurate shipping timelines, clear support responses, or public updates when delays happen.

For now, I’ve requested a cancellation and refund. I may still buy one later if units start showing up secondhand or on eBay, but I don’t feel comfortable continuing to deal with AYANEO directly as a brand right now.

Hey everyone. I’ve got a weird question.
Back before Aya Neo acknowledged how bad their customer support was, I tried to initiate a replacement for my Pocket Micro. They refused. But, since now that they’ve revamped their support, I figured I’d try again since they specifically mentioned in their detailed letter to the community that anyone who didn’t get satisfactory support should reach out again. To my shock, they agreed to send me a replacement. I should say, this device is out of warranty at this point. So, they’ve gone from the worst company I’ve ever dealt with, to one of the best. Credit where credit is due. 👍 Not only that, but they didn’t ask for the faulty one back. Anyone that has followed my specific saga (unintentional multiple button presses, when I only press a button once) should know that I managed to get my original unit working by installing GAMMA OS Next on it.
ANYWAY… I now have two of these things. 😅
My question to you guys is… what exactly do I have here? The one on the top is the unopened, brand new replacement and it appears to be a Classic?? the one on the bottom is my original box for my original Pocket Micro (non-classic). I was thinking about selling the unopened one but… I don’t feel good about selling it unless I know what it actually is. The front of the box looks identical to my non-classic box. The back of the box says it’s a Classic.
To complicate this even more… I just deleted my sticks from my old Pocket Micro. I wouldn’t have minded having one with stick and one without but… now I maybe have two without sticks?!?
Anyone with a Pocket Micro Classic… SPECIFICALLY the retro gray color way… does your outer box look this way too?

I’ve been happy with my Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini (PAM) which I mostly use to play Gameboy Color and Advance games (been going through a Pokemon kick lately). I do have some Android games and sometimes mess with it to see how smooth some PS2 and GameCube games run on it. If it doesn’t play well I’d prefer to play it on my Steam Deck or elsewhere where it will run more smoothly.

But recently I came across a video of someone playing Tomb Raider 2013 on it in Gamma OS and compared it to Stock OS. I do see somewhat of a performance bump but if it’s because it’s being overclocked then there would also be some battery life sacrifices there as well. I tried looking into Gamma OS and couldn’t find many videos of people saying why one SHOULD switch to it.

It seems like a lightweight OS, and the lite version is what I find appealing to run without any bloat but it has me concerned on not being able to download apps from the Play Store. Daijisho seems ok but I’ve been accustomed to Emulation Station across my handhelds (I know I can still run ES as a launcher if I switch to Gamma).

My main thing is it took me a while to fully set up my PAM the way I wanted it especially with setting up most of the emulators from scratch, scraping for all my games, and configuring hot keys, not to mention all the time I actually spent playing and accumulating save data and save states. If I switch to Gamma OS, I’d hate to have to go through all that again and figuring out how to get all my old save states and save data working. Another concern is the Ayaneo button on the PAM brings up a utility menu that I can use to switch device modes (Eco, Balanced, Gaming, and Max) and button modes (Xbox or Japanese button layouts). Would I lose that functionality if I switched?

So I’m mainly wondering what anyone else’s experience here is like with Gamma OS on their device. Is it worth the switch? Did you go regular or lite?

And if anyone wants to know why I’m wondering about this now, I’m mainly just curious. I’m leaning towards keeping things the way they are on my PAM but would like to know more about Gamma OS as a possible option if I want to shake things up a bit. Thanks in advance!

Just got this. I didn't peal off the screen flim before turning it on and maybe that caused it, but the screen has a slight red tint. Is this normal? Can anything be done.

Feeling grateful

Maybe it's the scotch but I find myself feeling grateful tonight.

Grateful that I have the ability to sit in a comfortable chair, play a fantastic game and have a belly full of food.

Also grateful for the kind answers I've received here as I start my Witcher journey. You're a good lot.

I hope everyone out there stay safe and warm and find joy in their life.

After almost 3 months with the Konkr Pocket Fit G3 Gen 3, I just realised that I've been playing Switch games, through Eden, with the Docked Mode always ON.

And, listen to this, I never had a game I couldn't play because of low performances!

I mean, I'm sure whoever has experience with gaming emulation is going to understand why I'm just mind blown!

This handheld is just insane!

There goes my founders edition :( …

Installed Ollama , curious to see what speeds I get

Downloaded 4-9gb models (qwen, Gemma) and ran them locally . Everything was working well until this happen . Suspect it could not sustain the persistent 100% in gpu

After this happened I had to drain the battery before it would be willing to wake up again .
Booting into windows works , not sure if it’s stable or not . Will see

The Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini feels like the natural evolution of my old Retroid Pocket 2+. I’m quite surprised by the quality of this console.
