TL;DR
- AYANEO has confirmed the Pocket PLAY will use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 chipset.
- It’s not the latest silicon or a Snapdragon chip, but it should still deliver decent gaming performance.
- The sliding gaming phone is still heading to Kickstarter, though the campaign hasn’t launched yet.
AYANEO’s first gaming phone has been a little quieter than expected lately, partly due to the company’s recent service improvement roadmap and the decision to pause its crowdfunding plans. But we have a concrete update on the Pocket PLAY that clears up one of the biggest open questions about performance.
In a new post on X, AYANEO confirmed that the Pocket PLAY will be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 chipset. It’s a familiar flagship chip — albeit dating back to 2023 — and should be a solid pick, even if it’s not the latest silicon or the Snapdragon chip some fans may have been hoping for.
