"The Ayaneo Next II weighs in at a truly wrist-straining 3.14 pounds, making it more than twice as heavy in the hands as the Steam Deck OLED (not to mention 2022's original Ayaneo Next, which weighed a much more reasonable 1.58 pounds). The absolute unit also measures 13.45 inches wide and 10.3 inches tall, according to Ayaneo's spec sheet, giving it a footprint approximately 60 percent larger than the Switch 2 (with Joy-Cons attached)."
"The high-end version of the system sports a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chipset with 16 Zen5 cores alongside a Radeon 8060S with 40 RDNA3.5 compute units. That should give this massive portable performance comparable to a desktop with an RTX 4060 or a gaming laptop like last year's high-end ROG Flow Z13. But the Next II neatly outclasses the (smaller and lighter) competition with a high-end 9.06-inch OLED screen, capable of 2400×1504 resolution, up to 165 Hz refresh rates, and 1,155 nits of brightness."
Ayaneo Next II is an extremely large and heavy Windows gaming handheld, weighing 3.14 pounds and measuring 13.45 inches wide by 10.3 inches tall, with a footprint about 60 percent larger than the Switch 2 with Joy-Cons. The high-end model uses a Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 16 Zen5 cores and a Radeon 8060S with 40 RDNA3.5 compute units, offering performance comparable to an RTX 4060 desktop or a high-end ROG Flow Z13. The device features a 9.06-inch OLED panel at 2400×1504 resolution, up to 165 Hz, and up to 1,155 nits brightness. Competing handhelds use similar chipsets but are smaller and lighter.
