Overview
- AYANEO announced the Windows-based NEXT II with an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU that the company claims can run up to an 85W TDP.
- The device features a 9.06-inch OLED at 2400×1504 with switchable refresh rates up to 165Hz and up to 1,100 nits peak brightness.
- Premium hardware includes dual-fan cooling, Hall Effect joysticks and linear triggers, an 8-way D-pad, dual touchpads, a magnetic-levitation haptic motor, upgraded front speakers, and rear buttons with dual-stage trigger locks.
- Pricing, release date, full port and connectivity details, size, and weight remain undisclosed, with AYANEO saying more information will follow.
- Reporters note the 115Wh battery exceeds the 100Wh air-travel threshold and may require airline approval, and they flag that the high-power design could affect real-world battery life and make the unit larger and heavier than rivals like the Xbox Ally X and Legion Go 2.
