TL;DR
- The AYANEO Pocket S Mini retail units will have a 4,700mAh battery, rather than the advertised 6,000mAh.
- A miscommunication in production caused the mistake, which went unnoticed until today.
- Buyers can either receive a full refund or a free 2+32GB Pocket AIR Mini with their orders.
AYANEO is clearly making an effort to improve its company image, but a major production mistake just torpedoed its efforts to speed up shipping in the worst possible way. Just a few days after the Pocket S Mini was surprisingly put up for sale and set to ship within the same week, it was discovered that one of the main components didn’t match the intended specs.
Initially advertised to ship with a 6,000mAh battery, the Pocket S Mini went into urgent production in order to ship before the Chinese New Year, which kicks off next week. However, it was discovered that the retail units slated to start shipping today actually have 4,700mAh batteries.
