On May 28, AYANEO officially released the world's first ultra-thin OLED Windows gaming handheld AYANEO AIR after the AYANEO 2021 and AYANEO NEXT. ANAYENO 2021 created a new form of Windows gaming handheld, and AYANEO NEXT explores the performance limits of Windows gaming handhelds. AYANEO AIR breaks through the traditional gaming handheld, an unprecedented 395g lightweight and 17mm thin, and the colorful OLED screen and many high-performance configurations. AYANEO AIR is bound to become another disruptive Windows gaming handheld in the hearts of players around the world

 

 

The conference was hosted by AYANEO CEO Arthur Zhang, who first introduced the skinny and light AYANEO AIR. As a Windows gaming handheld, the AYANEO AIR entry version is lighter than the standard version of the Switch, only 395g!

 

 

It's weight is much lighter than the Steam Deck’s 669g. AYANEO AIR entry version is 17mm thin.

 

 

As a Windows gaming handheld, it is only 4mm thicker than the Switch, leading the Windows gaming handheld to open a new era of lightweight. The AYANEO AIR Standard version is 18mm thick and weighs only 410g.

 

 

AYANEO AIR is not only a Windows gaming handheld but also a computer in essence, including modules such as screen, handle, battery, etc., and the PCB is less than the size of a palm, which is a miracle of engineering and manufacturing.

 

 

AYANEO AIR has a compact size close to the Switch Lite, which can be picked up with one hand and put into a trouser pocket easily, and it can be carried around like a mobile phone. The grip is carefully optimized with full consideration. Even if you play for a long time, you can still hold it easily because of the thin and light main body combined with comfortable touch.

 

 

AYANEO AIR considers the thickness of the main body, the heat dissipation, and the battery life under high power consumption, which perfectly stands up to the stacking of various components of the PCB and internal layout design in the thin and light main body. A new cooling system is tailored for the compact space, including high-pressure turbo cooling fans and copper tube cooling modules. Whether it is an indie game or a passionate 3A game, it can provide efficient cooling performance and allow players to have a smooth gaming experience. 

 

 

AYANEO AIR puts the M.2 2280 SSD in the limited internal space and supports TF card expansion, providing players with a TF card reader for high-speed reading and writing, and the price-performance ratio of expansion immediately soars.

 

 

Adopted with a 3.5mm headphone jack, players can fully enjoy the best audio and video effects. Two all-around Type-C interfaces for video signal output, charging, and high-speed data transmission.

 

 

Lightweight as AYANEO AIR still adopts Fingerprint Recognition Module, which is initially used on the NEXT, and so it still has a light touch wake function. It is very convenient whether it is used as a computer or a gaming handheld.

 

 

AYANEO AIR is the first OLED screen on Windows gaming handheld, the first time to bring the OLED screen to the Windows gaming handheld, providing players with a new visual experience! This OLED screen is 5.5', resolution: 1920 *1080, color gamut: 109% NTSC, 100% s RGB, 96% ADOBE RGB, 99% DCI P3, with a 175° ultra-wide viewing angle, each side is excellent, the contrast ratio is up to 100000: 1, the color expression is more profound, the color is more vivid, the OLED screen is one-third the thickness of the previous IPS LCD screen, and the response time is only one-thousandth of the LCD screen. Every frame is dynamic.

 

 

Blue light radiation is reduced by 70%, and there is no visual fatigue during long periods of play. AYANEO AIR brings players a good screen comparable to a mobile phone on a Windows gaming handheld

 

 

AYANEO AIR combines the beauty of the gaming handheld form with the aesthetics of the color scheme to build a new design language. The whole machine is simple but without losing its personality, and the cross key and ABXY's two-color inject a unique charm into the different color versions. The colorful double gradients in the top area give the handheld a unique artistic feel. AYANEO AIR has two primary colors, Aurora White and Polar Night Black. Aurora white is dominated by white, with red dotting the cross keys and ABXY keys, and the top area transitions seamlessly from blue to red, elegant and flexible.

 

 

Polar Night Black is dominated by gray-black, with off-white secondary colors dotting between the cross keys and ABXY keys, and the top area is dark blue and lilac, which blends with black to bring a bit of mystery. In addition to Aurora White and Polar Night Black, AYANEO AIR has also introduced a new Sakura pink. The primary color of the Sakura pink is matched with white secondary color, and the top shoulder key area is a rose gold color. Taking care of the aesthetics of female players, AYANEO has designed this high-value handheld, which is also a chic color choice for male players.

 

 

AYANEO AIR has a flexible shape curve that entirely fits the gripping angle. Based on the advantages of the thin and light main body and a deep understanding of ergonomics, it is a new experience of not being tired after a long time of play. You can hold it without worrying about falling and play it without any hurdles. We create a clever structural design to achieve the screwless in the rear of the main body, seeing two screws at the bottom. Therefore, it brings players a structural miracle on the Windows gaming handheld. The shape and interior of the magnificent structure get an excellent combination of art and practicality. Tailor-made new UV process makes AYANEO AIR a lighter touch and dirt-resistant and scratch-resistant fingerprint. The unique ultra-thin and light body makes touch feelingless, AIR Touch.

 

 

AYANEO AIR's joysticks are designed with cool RGB lights to create a stunning gaming atmosphere for the playing experience and can be linked to battery devices. In addition to being used as a system lighting effect such as charging and standby, RGB lamps can achieve a high degree of customization through AYA Space in the future and share their own customized lighting effects with other AYANEO players.

 

 

AYANEO AIR creates a button system that is easier to use and more user-friendly for players. The AYA button in the lower right corner of the front can be short pressed to open the quick set window, and long pressed to open the AYA Space software, which is the icon of the AYANEO gaming handheld and the iconic button that will continue to be used in the future. The new "=" custom button, which is pressed by default, is the "Back to Desktop" function, which can be customized in AYA Space.

The gradient trim strap features two custom buttons, LC and RC, on the inner sides of the left & right shoulder keys

 

 

AYA Space can customize its functions. In the future, there may be various application scenarios such as standard Windows operations and associated program games: short and long presses of LC and RC can trigger different functions, plus short press customization of "= "AYANEO AIR can realize the triggering of three buttons totaling five custom functions, making the players' game interaction experience more efficient and convenient.

 

 

Through the optimization of hardware, structure, and algorithm, the X-axis linear motor equipped with AYANEO AIR brings richer, more delicate, and realistic haptic feedback to hardcore gamers from the two dimensions of software and hardware, whether it is GTA 5 or 老头环, it has 4D game vibration, making the game experience more immersive.

 

 

AYANEO AIR brings gaming players a fully upgraded handle experience: the MASTER all-around handle. And it will become the standard of AYANEO handheld in the future. There are eight functions with six patents for AYANEO AIR's MASTER comprehensive handle.

 

 

For the first time, AYANEO AIR successfully adopted the small Hall joystick to the Windows gaming handheld, bringing three advantages: no dead zone, no drift, and high precision. On the AYA Space software, joystick sensitivity can be easily fine-tuned

using the handle combination key. AYANEO AIR also supports Hall linear triggers, and the game control experience is fully upgraded. The linear trigger adjustment function instantly spikes sensitivity, which is very useful in some FPS games. The controller zero power standby function is realized, and the controller can be closed from the underlying level of the hardware, which can save power and turn off the gaming device's default controller model when the external monitor or controller is connected. The motor vibration force can be adjusted to simulate the game's realism for a 4D shock effect. There is also a button burst function and A-B X-Y key-value swap function, so it is free to choose an American or a Japanese layout. Gyroscope somatosensory assisted aiming at the controller level is also supported. AYANEO AIR has a dual gyroscope somatosensory. Namely, gyroscope components are set on the PCB and the controller, respectively, supporting somatosensory gyroscope games.

 

 

AYANEO redefines a new era of Windows gaming handheld experiences by creating AYA Space. To create shortcut functions suitable for players' operation needs, AYA Space has designed shortcut functions for AYANEO AIR suitable for players' operation needs, which is convenient for players to set the running status and use experience of the device. The innovative interaction design is convenient for users to use the controller buttons to quickly make setup. Players can conveniently manage local games and truly realize the concept of playing games anytime and anywhere, experiencing the fun brought by the game without restriction.

 

 

At the press conference, AYANEO announced a strategic cooperation with the gaming PC brand 机械革命, and the two parties will jointly create the most powerful Windows gaming handhelds. The initial achievement of the two parties is reflected in the performance exploration of the CPU of Ryzen™ 5 5560U based on the long-term, in-depth collaboration between AYANEO and AMD. AYANEO AIR brings players APU that has never appeared on the Windows gaming handheld, AMD Ryzen™ 5 5560U, and this Zen3 architecture 6-core 7nm processor frequency up to 4.0GHz, in line with the positioning and needs of the gaming

handheld. Its advantages are low power consumption with good performance running 3A titles smoothly, so It is an APU with a perfect balance of performance and power consumption.

 

 

AYANEO AIR knows how to grasp balances. Based on ensuring the full performance of AMD Ryzen™ 5 5560U, it balances battery life and heat dissipation and limits the TDP to 15W. It can run at a maximum of 15W through settings on AYA Space, setting default TDP 8W. As an ultra-thin gaming handheld, in the 8W-10W TDP range, most games can be played smoothly, many indie games can run perfectly at around 5W, and the battery life will also be improved.

 

 

AYANEO AIR size is equivalent to almost an Android gaming handheld, and with such constraints, it still carries a 7350mAh 28Wh battery.

 

 

In the 8W-10W TDP range, most games can be played smoothly, and indie games can even run perfectly at TDP 5W, and the battery life will be improved. Because AYANEO AIR has a robust performance CPU, excellent network chip, and 1080P HD screen, it is particularly suitable for playing Cloud games. In addition, AYA Space optimizes the system to maximize system performance and battery life. AYA Space, a companion application specially designed for AYA gaming handhelds, adjusts TDP steplessly, which is convenient for fully controlling the power consumption of AIR and obtaining a balance among performance, battery life, and heat dissipation.

 

 

AYANEO AIR Pro

In addition to the official version of AYANEO AIR, AYANEO has created AYANEO AIR Pro for players, a genuinely ultimate product. There are two versions: AMD Ryzen™ 5 5560U CPU and AMD Ryzen™ 7 5825U CPU.

 

 

With a thin main body, it has efficient performance and more excellent heat dissipation, and longer battery life. The AYANEO AIR Pro has been increased to 21.6 mm in thickness for more robust battery life, increasing its battery capacity from 7350mAh 28Wh to 10050mAh 38Wh, maintaining a weight of 450g. The thin and light main body continues the silky touch feel of AYANEO AIR, an all-around warrior created by AYANEO AIR Pro for players who pursue the performance extremes.

 

 

AYANEO announced its gaming handheld operating system AYANEO OS, based on the Linux system, at the press conference, which focuses on game management and handheld device management. AYANEO has completely independent intellectual property rights in UI design and interactive operation.

 

AYANEO OS is built for games, allowing players to open and play. The game runs extremely fast, has more professional performance, and the FPS is more stable.

 

 

AYANEO's quick set window, several shortcuts, and intelligent configurations are carefully designed to make the player's gaming experience more powerful. On the AYANEO gaming handhelds, windows, Steam OS, and AYANEO OS will coexist for the first time, and players can choose to choose OS at will and enjoy a smooth and unrestrained gaming experience.

This classic retro style full keys controller in the product line of 8Bit is mini and portable, co-branded, and exclusively designed for AYANEO AIR, which is classical and spiritual. I believe it will get the favor of players..
