TL;DR

• The Xperia Play-like AYANEO Pocket PLAY sliding phone will feature a 6.8-inch 165Hz OLED panel.
• The front-facing camera is located in the bezel for a seamless gaming experience.
• Full specs and pricing have not been announced, but expect an early 2026 launch window.

For many gamers, the AYANEO Pocket PLAY is one of the most exciting upcoming releases, with a sliding control mechanism that’s clearly inspired by the Xperia Play. Now, the company has revealed the specs for the screen, and it’s a massive upgrade over its spiritual predecessor.

The Pocket PLAY will feature a 6.8-inch 2400 x 1080 OLED panel with an “esports-grade” refresh rate of 165Hz. That’s more than 50% larger than the 2011 Xperia Play’s LCD panel, with nearly three times the resolution.
