And it’s because after the big revolution that this handheld format has brought, more and more companies are joining the wave with their own devices, with some more and more interesting designs like AyaNeo Next 2which aims to stand out even more.

This was announced by the company itself in their latest live presentation and fan engagement broadcast live on YouTube yesterday, in which they detailed some of the main components of what their next premium portable console will be. What makes the AyaNeo Next 2 interesting is that could be the first handheld gaming console with a discrete GPU.

Details are scarce at this point, but the company has revealed that it will be in production two variants of the new console, focused on the differentiated use of Intel and AMD components. He will have one Intel Alder Lake U-series CPU paired with Arc GPUand the other will be equipped AMD Ryzen 6000U series processor and Radeon 6000 mobile graphics. We don’t know the exact SKU that Aya plans to use, but as the company has announced, AyaNeo Next 2 users will be able to upgrade the GPU in the future. Still, we’re more interested in how well the company intends to keep this new device cool during extended use, as well as how long the battery will last.

Therefore, at this time, the company has not shared any information about the exact date or launch window of this handheld console, as well as no information about its starting price. However, given the prices previously used by its previous devices, it wouldn’t be surprising if this new handheld exceed 1500 euros.
