TL;DR

• AYANEO says the KONKR Pocket FIT Elite will ship after the Chinese New Year, pushing delivery to early March 2026 at the earliest.
• Standard Pocket FIT G3 Gen 3 units are still shipping through January, but the Elite model is now officially delayed.
• The delay follows other recent launch issues across Android handhelds.

Android gaming handheld launches have been feeling a little shaky lately, and the KONKR Pocket FIT is the latest example. Despite being announced ahead of its closest rival, the Pocket FIT Elite now won’t ship until after the Chinese New Year holiday, which in 2026 runs through early March.

AYANEO confirmed the delay in a new Indiegogo update posted today. While shipments of the standard Pocket FIT G3 Gen 3 are still moving through January, the company says the Elite model has been pushed back due to “multiple recent supply chain disruptions,” with no firm shipping date beyond the Chinese New Year window.
