AYANEO Next 2 is a handheld gaming PC launched in 2026. Powered by AMD Zen 5 (16-core, 3.0 GHz - 5.1 GHz), 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and AMD Radeon 8060S GPU. Features a 9.06" OLED Touchscreen display (2400 x 1504, 16:10). 116 Wh battery and WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2. Runs Windows 11.

AYANEO Next 2 is a flagship handheld gaming PC launched in 2026 and built around the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 platform. Its Zen 5 CPU has 16 cores and 32 threads clocked between 3.0 and 5.1 GHz, while the AMD Radeon 8060S graphics bring 40 GPU cores at 2.9 GHz. LPDDR5X memory at 8533 MT/s comes in 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB configurations, and 1 TB or 2 TB of NVMe SSD storage can be expanded via microSD.

With this much power, emulation covers practically the whole spectrum: from Game Boy, NES and Sega Genesis, through PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and PlayStation 2, up to GameCube, Wii, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 3. Beyond emulation, it runs modern PC games natively. Cooling relies on a heatsink, dual fans and ventilation cutouts.

The 9.06-inch OLED touchscreen offers a 2400 x 1504 (FHD+) resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, 165 Hz refresh rate and roughly 313 ppi, protected by OCA-laminated tempered glass. Dual stereo speakers face the front.

Controls include asymmetric TMR thumbsticks with L3/R3, Hall effect analog triggers, a disc D-pad, dual touchpads, four rear buttons and extra LC/RC shoulder buttons. A gyroscope, rumble, fingerprint reader and dual microphones round things out. At 1426 g and 341.69 x 146.24 x 26.15 mm, the plastic body makes this a massive device, better suited to sessions at a desk or on your lap.

The 116 Wh battery charges through two bottom-facing USB-C ports, which also provide video output. Connectivity includes WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and a top-mounted 3.5mm headphone jack.

It runs Windows 11, with support for SteamOS and AYANEO OS, and modding is permitted, giving maximum flexibility for setup and emulation front-ends.

Ideal for: enthusiasts who want the most powerful handheld PC, capable of emulation up to PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Switch, and who accept the heavy weight and the 1799 USD reference price in exchange for performance.
