Ayaneo Next II Gaming Handheld Features AMD Strix Halo Technology
Ayaneo has introduced its Next II gaming handheld which uses Strix Halo technology to power its high quality gaming abilities. The handheld device which was first revealed in 2022 now operates on AMD Strix Halo APU technology instead of its initial dGPU design. The device competes with high performance handheld gaming devices which include OneXPlayer Apex and GPD Win 5.
The Ayaneo Next II features a 9.06 inch OLED panel. The display achieves its maximum brightness level of 1,155 nits to provide users with excellent viewing capabilities. The device has dimensions of 341.69 x 146.24 x 26.15 mm with a total weight of approximately 1.43 kg.
The handheld system offers two AMD Strix Halo processor options for users to choose from:
- Ryzen AI Max 385: Found in the base models.
- Ryzen AI Max+ 395: Available in high tier configurations with increased RAM capacities.
Ayaneo provides a 116 Wh external battery pack to fulfill the power needs of Strix Halo architecture. The system enables users to play for longer durations when compared with traditional internal battery systems used in smaller handheld devices.
The device is currently available through Indiegogo. The price of the device depends on the chosen APU and RAM and storage combination:
- $1,799: Ryzen AI Max 385 with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB storage.
- $2,299: Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 64 GB RAM and 1 TB storage.
- $3,499: Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 128 GB RAM and 2 TB storage.
The Ayaneo Next II will begin shipping all its configurations in June 2026. The launch introduces the first portable device which uses the Ryzen AI Max+ 395.
