Anyaneo is well known for its handheld gaming accessories. It has been in the market for a little over five years with rival companies like ASUS and Nintendo. Ayaneo just teased a video of its first gaming smartphone.
The company wants to expand to the smartphone market, not just dealing in gaming accessories. The Ayaneo Phone is a pleasant surprise for gamers, as it offers handheld gaming and mobile phone features in one device.

The Ayaneo Phone, as revealed in a video teaser, will feature the company’s Retro Remake branding, a design aesthetic introduced in 2023 that brings retro-style colour schemes to modern handhelds like the Ayaneo Pocket DMG and Pocket DS.
Expect the Ayaneo Phone
The video shows the silhouette of the phone, revealing the dual rear camera setup. When the phone becomes clearly visible, the bumpers on both the top and bottom of the left side can be seen.
Other than revealing the rear view of the Ayaneo Phone, the video doesn’t really tell us much. All we know is that it will come with triggers and a dual-camera setup. It’s obvious AYANEO isn’t going after looks here.
There have been rumours of AYANEO branching into the smartphone business. Back in August, during a livestream where the company introduced the Ayaneo Pocket DS and KONKR Pocket FIT, the Ayaneo Phone was also teased. Now, the company is at it again.

When the Ayaneo Phone launches, it will rival other tech giants like RedMagic and ASUS that have been in the game. While RedMagic is readily available in the US through Amazon, the ASUS ROG Phone lineup is only available in some regions, so buyers from the US can only import it or purchase it from the second-hand market. We can only wait and see which market the Ayaneo Phone will be available in.
