Ayaneo has issued a new update for its handheld lineup, and it’s not exactly great news for buyers. The company says prices for several models are set to go up soon, while a few others could disappear altogether once current stock runs out. Like many in the industry right now, Ayaneo is dealing with rising memory and storage costs, and it’s starting to show.

In a post shared on its Discord server, Ayaneo outlined the situation across multiple devices. Some of the affected models are fairly recent too, which makes the timing a bit unusual.

The Pocket Vert, for example, is already running low on stock and won’t be restocked once it sells out. The Pocket S Mini is in a similar position, though slightly more abrupt. It only launched earlier this year, but production has already stopped. What’s left will be sold, and that’s it. The company also confirmed that the free Pocket Air Mini units offered as compensation for the smaller battery will no longer be available after April 1, 2026.

There’s also a limited update on the Pocket DS. Around 200 units are up for pre-order again, with shipping expected in mid-April. Beyond that, Ayaneo isn’t committing to more batches, so availability could be short-lived.

Things are a bit more mixed under the Konkr branding. The Pocket Fit Gen 3 and Pocket Fit 8 Elite are still in play, but with some changes. The Snapdragon 8 Elite version, which had seen delays, is finally shipping. Once current orders are done, Ayaneo plans to relaunch it in phases. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 variant, however, is already gone from the official store.

The Konkr Fit, which is the first Windows-based model in that lineup, is still open for pre-orders. It was initially planned as a limited run, but Ayaneo now says production will depend on demand instead.

There’s no clear word yet on how much prices will increase, or whether other models will be affected. But given the broader spike in DRAM and storage costs, it wouldn’t be surprising if more changes follow.
