Continuing their streak of innovative gaming devices, Ayaneo is now making waves in the handheld gaming world with the launch of Ayaneo Pocket AIR. Departing from their previous Windows-based models, this new handheld gaming device runs on Android, offering a fresh and exciting gaming experience to enthusiasts.
One of the standout features of the Ayaneo Pocket AIR is its compact size, making it smaller than its predecessors. The device boasts a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with a crisp 1080p resolution, ensuring stunning visuals and enhanced portability, perfect for gaming on the go.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC, paired with the formidable GPU Arm Mali-G77 MC9. The processor configuration includes 1x Ultra Core (Arm Cortex-A78 up to 3.0 GHz), 3x Super Cores (Arm Cortex-A78 up to 2.6 GHz), and 4x Efficiency Cores (Arm Cortex-A55 up to 2.0 GHz). While not a top-tier flagship SoC, Ayaneo’s choice indicates their focus on delivering excellent performance for mid-range mobile gaming.
To ensure smooth and uninterrupted gameplay, Ayaneo Pocket AIR is equipped with an active cooling system, referred to as “x86-level powerful.” This cooling technology is reminiscent of their previous Windows-based handheld gaming devices, guaranteeing a stable and efficient gaming experience.
Power users will appreciate the device’s impressive battery capacity, a “Windows handheld grade” 7,350mAh battery, providing ample juice for extended gaming sessions without the need to worry about running out of power. However, specific details about memory and storage options are yet to be fully disclosed during the pre-sale phase.
The Ayaneo Pocket AIR also shines in the controller department, featuring a comprehensive array of buttons and pads, hall sensing joysticks, triger, SoundTapMagic audio vibration system, X-axis linear motor, and a six-axis gyroscope. With such an advanced control setup, gamers can expect a more immersive and enjoyable gaming experience.
Operating on Android, the device comes equipped with the AYAHome Windows gaming interface and the AYASpace management application. Additionally, gamers will find a plethora of retro gaming options on the Ayaneo Cloud Game Database, catering to those with a fondness for classic games.
Currently, the Ayaneo Pocket AIR is in the crowdfunding stage on Indiegogo, where gaming enthusiasts have the opportunity to support and participate in this gaming revolution. Ayaneo aims to offer this exceptional device at an attractive price point, estimated to be below 300 USD, making it an enticing prospect for avid gamers seeking a high-quality handheld gaming experience.
