Is the AYANEO Pocket EVO Really Worth the EXTRA Cash? (Review)

👉Stubbs unboxes, gives his impressions, and goes in-depth with the Pocket EVO, sent for review from ‪@AYANEO‬ . It's easily the most elegant and premium Android handheld we've had in the studio, but is it worth the asking price? Let's find out!

The Pocket EVO combines top tier performance with a comfy design, rocking a 7-inch 1080P OLED screen with a 165hz refresh rate. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2, it handles just about everything for both retro, streaming and modern Android games. It comes equipped with hall sticks, a large 8600 mah battery, 24gb of DDR5 RAM, and a powerful (albeit loud) active cooling system.
