Yoniq Prices Its PlayStation-Inspired Portal Retro Handheld at $199

Handheld manufacturer Yoniq lists the PlayStation-styled Yoniq Portal retro device with an indicative early-bird price of $199.

New handheld manufacturer Yoniq has placed another of its unusual retro devices online, revealing an indicative $199 price for the PlayStation-inspired Yoniq Portal. The machine resembles an original grey PlayStation stretched into a handheld form, with a display positioned between the left and right controls in a layout that also recalls Sony's modern PlayStation Portal. Yoniq's online listing appears to remain unfinished, so some information should still be considered provisional. The page shows what looks like a promotional reduction from around $215 to $199, suggesting the company may be preparing an early-bird preorder offer. New photographs reveal an SD card slot, 3.5mm headphone connection and USB-C port. More intriguingly, one image appears to show something labelled as a Memory Card connection. Yoniq has not yet confirmed whether original PlayStation memory cards will actually be supported, so that feature remains speculative. The company is relatively new as a consumer-facing brand but says its team has decades of experience manufacturing handheld electronics for other businesses. Yoniq recently also revealed pricing for its Duo dual-screen handheld. Full specifications for the Portal, including processor, RAM, screen resolution, operating system and exact emulation capabilities, have yet to be properly disclosed. Until those details arrive, the $199 listing is best treated as an early indication rather than a final launch specification.
