AYANEO announced the appearance of the first independent display Winodws handheld NEXT 2, as well as some parameters.

Judging from the official renderings, AYANEO NEXT 2 has obviously learned from Steam in terms of appearance design. The shadow of Steam Deck can be clearly seen on the added touch panels on both sides. AYANEO officially stated that NEXT 2 has a more reasonable design than the Steam Deck.

This handheld console can be equipped with 12th generation Core + DG2 mobile independent graphics or AMD Ryzen 6000 processor and RX 6000 mobile independent graphics. AYANEO said that there are two solutions for NEXT 2’s independent graphics.

The first solution is to make the independent graphics and battery into a modular design. When going out, you can use the combination of large battery + independent graphics; for normal play, use the battery-less + independent graphics mode. The second option is to integrate independent graphics and directly on the motherboard, which is more conservative, but more acceptable.

The official release date of AYANEO NEXT 2 has not yet been announced.
