How come they only make few hundreds of micro 2 while selling more than 20K KPAs

This seems really weird to me. The Micro 2 looks gorgeous, yet they only made 100 units initially. Now they’re selling only the much more expensive 12GB version, with shipping not starting until October.

They must still have plenty of those iPhone 4 screens left considering 20000 were used in the Pocket Advance. I also don’t see how they have Snapdragon 865 shortage, or any particular component.

It seems pretty clear that they have a much higher margin on this than on the KPA, this is a very strange business decision to me.

You can order MANGMI AIR Y & AIR Y Pro now

Early bird price for three days. Looks good to me.

Just bought a TrimUI brick Pro, so I don't need this.

Yeah, I don't need this.

It's hard to choose which one to keep

TOP: Retroid Pocket Nova

Bottom: Ayaneo Pocket ACE

They have similar performance, with the ACE offering more memory and internal storage.

The ACE feels very premium. Its controls are large and solid, and I prefer its design. It also has a higher resolution screen.

The Nova has an OLED screen with a lower resolution, but its effective screen size is larger for 4:3 content. It is lighter, which makes longer gaming sessions more comfortable, and it is more portable.

I know one of them may end up collecting dust if I keep them both. It's hard to decide...

Edit: Nova's screen looks fine to me, they were quite similar on this perticular scene. It looks like Nova lost some details in the picture maybe is because the Nova is a bit brighter so the camera didn't adjust properly. I didn’t mean to compare the images, didn’t calibrate them to the exact same settings.
