Retro gaming handheld manufacturer Ayaneo has finally revealed the design of its first Android phone, which has been teased<\/a> since August. Fittingly, it too is a throwback \u2014 to 2011\u2019s Sony Ericcson Xperia Play<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Pocket Play has a screen that slides up to reveal a full set of inset physical controls, including a D-pad, ABXY fact buttons, and two circular touch pads. There are twin sets of shoulder buttons round the back of the phone too, though no sign of a 3.5mm headphone jack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Unfortunately, that\u2019s all we know. The Pocket Play is only confirmed to launch \u201csoon,\u201d and the Kickstarter campaign page<\/a> doesn\u2019t reveal a single spec.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s actually the second<\/em> Xperia Play homage we\u2019ve seen this year, following Anbernic\u2019s RG Slide<\/a>. The Pocket Play looks substantially sleeker than the RG Slide, and should be capable of replacing your phone, rather than only playing games \u2014 we expect it to cost substantially more than the Slide\u2019s $189 price tag though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
