Antec Core Micro is a tiny pocket retrogame handheld [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2024-12-06

Antec's Core Micro is a little branding around the Ayaneo Pocket, but comes with the promise of wider availability. The basic idea is that it's small, like many other inexpensive retrogaming handhelds, but also well-made and reasonably well-specified, like very few of them: made of aluminum, Hall-effect sticks, and a 640-line 3:2 aspect-ratio display perfect for GameBoy Advance emulation, though not quite so great for 4:3 CRT-era consoles such as the SNES or Genesis.

Abid Ahsan Shanto offers context at Notebookcheck:

The MediaTek SoC is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, but the Antec Core Mirco has an SD card slot that can further expand the storage. A 2,600 mAh battery powers the internals, which is said to offer 6 hours of gaming easily. … Antec has yet to share pricing details, but the Ayaneo Pocket Micro with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage has a retail price of $249.
