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.
"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."
