AYANEO KONKR Pocket Advance is aiming straight at the nostalgia nerve. The newly revealed handheld is clearly inspired by the Game Boy Advance shape, but updates the idea with modern touches like four face buttons, a larger-looking widescreen display and extra menu controls. Specs are still not fully confirmed, so controlled excitement is the healthy response. Still, this market does not run on specs alone.
Retro handheld buyers care about shape, pocket feel, screen ratios and whether a device makes childhood look modern enough to buy again. The Pocket Advance understands the assignment.
