Recently, we have released a number of new products. Since some friends who have not watched the press conference or live broadcast do not know much about the product line, I wrote this post for you to explain in detail the differences between the different products of AYANEO’s product line up to now.
AYANEO 2021
When the AYANEO brand was unveiled in 2020, the first concept product was named AYANEO Founder, and about 1,400 units were sold in mainland China. Because it is the first mass-produced AMD Windows handheld, plus the fully transparent body design and the blessing of RGB lighting effects, it has impressed players around the world.
Afterwards, AYANEO held an IGG crowdfunding, and obtained excellent results of more than 2,000 units. We shipped it in two batches. The first batch was the version with a white/black casing replaced on the basis of the founder's edition, which we called the official version of AYANEO. The number of foreign shipments is about 500 units, and the number of domestic shipments is about 500 units. The official version of AYANEO and the founder version of AYANEO are both pot buttons, nonlinear trigger, rotor motor, and speaker sound is slightly smaller.
Subsequently, we made a lot of optimization adjustments to the official version of AYANEO. We have changed the dome button to a conductive glue button, the trigger has also been upgraded to a linear trigger, the rotor motor has been upgraded to a linear motor, and the speaker has become better. At the same time, the cooling system was re-developed, and the keys were upgraded to new two-color keys. There are more than 10 upgrades in total, and we named it AYANEO 2021.
We also provide a free upgrade to AYANEO 2021 for those users who crowdfunded and pre-ordered the official version of AYANEO, and also provided a free upgrade for the earliest users of the Founder's Edition, which is the best example of AYANEO providing users with high-quality services.
In the second half of 2021, we also launched AYANEO 2021 Pro, an upgraded version of AYANEO 2021. The CPU is upgraded from AMD 4500U to AMD 4800U, and it also has black and white color options.
On this basis, we also introduced Retro Power, a limited edition color of AYANEO 2021 Pro, which builds on our childhood memories to create a classic style that pays homage to GameBoy, Retro Power has been loved by players around the world since its launch.
AYANEO NEXT
In January 2022, we officially announced our NEXT series product line. The purpose of this series of research and development is to explore the application of future technology in Windows handheld, so that players around the world can experience the latest features brought by the AYANEO brand based on the industry.
The first product in the series, AYANEO NEXT, is equipped with AMD 5825U, a new CPU in 2022, and is the first to introduce the combination of Hall joystick + Hall trigger, which greatly improves the control of Windows handhelds. Of course, in addition to the Hall rocker, the first generation of NEXT products also introduced the world's first functions such as a fingerprint recognition module for light touch wake-up, a replaceable rocker cap, and a combination button to open quickly. A variety of color schemes also bring a new visual experience to the Windows handheld.
The features explored by the NEXT series will also be distributed to other AYANEO product lines when appropriate. For example, the Hall joystick has also been applied to the products after AYANEO NEXT.
AYANEO 2
AYANEO 2 is the second generation of AYANEO's orthodox products, equipped with AMD's CPU 6800U, and its performance is extreme. We also designed an unprecedented bezel-less full screen for this new cross-generational product in Windows handhelds. The front is a whole piece of glass, which is extremely advanced, bringing the ultimate enjoyment to the visual experience of the game.
In addition to the full screen, another advantage of AYANEO 2 over other Windows handhelds is that we spent a year creating the "baby sleeping position" natural grip, which can bring you the best grip on Windows handhelds feel.
AYANEO 2 will bring you a full screen without borders, continuing the Hall joystick and Hall trigger of the NEXT series. At the same time, AYANEO 2 will bring a number of world-first exclusive features to ensure that AYANEO supporters can gain a unique sense of superiority on AYANEO 2.
AYANEO 2 GEEK
In the past, due to the high-end positioning of AYANEO, we have always provided the highest configuration and the black technology of handheld computers, and we have never compromised on the materials used. In addition, a lot of manpower is invested in the research and development of supporting software and systems, so the cost is relatively high. There are many friends who have not had the opportunity to feel the attraction of AYANEO due to budget reasons, so in order to allow everyone to enjoy the excellent experience of the AYANEO brand for Windows handhelds, we have specially launched GEEK series products for the orthodox product line.
The design style of AYANEO 2 GEEK is similar to that of AYANEO 2, but based on the design of the whole glass on the front of AYANEO 2, it has been adjusted.
Due to the full screen, the left and right sides of the front of AYANEO 2 are designed with a separate handle area similar to the shape of the runway. AYANEO 2 GEEK does not have a full screen design, so there is no such runway area on the left and right sides of the front.
AYANEO 2 continues AYANEO AIR's MASTER all-around handle. It brings joystick no dead zone, joystick sensitivity adjustment, trigger sensitivity adjustment, ABXY button key value exchange, button burst, handle zero power standby, vibration intensity adjustment, body and handle dual gyroscope somatosensory assistance support. The above functions are supported at the hardware level of the controller and can be enjoyed without software support.
The AYANEO 2 GEEK is designed with a standard handle and does not have the above functions.
AYANEO 2 uses a large Hall rocker, and AYANEO 2 GEEK uses a small Hall rocker. The stroke range of the large joystick is slightly larger than that of the small joystick, but both have excellent control feel, and both have the characteristics of no dead zone and high precision.
In terms of hardware configuration, AYANEO 2 GEEK and AYANEO 2 will be equipped with AMD 6800U, and we have also added a 6600U option for the AYANEO 2 GEEK version.
Overall, the performance of the AYANEO 2 GEEK is almost indistinguishable from the AYANEO 2. But because the GEEK product line is for those who pursue the limit without compromise, the budget is relatively limited. Therefore, AYANEO 2 GEEK will reduce some configurations that do not affect the pure gaming experience, such as the MASTER handle, and some unannounced black technologies.
If the budget is sufficient, you can choose AYANEO 2 and enjoy the all-around charm.
If the budget is limited, you can consider the AYANEO 2 GEEK, which also has performance that is not part of the AYANEO 2. The compromise reduces some configurations, but the cost performance is much higher.
AYANEO SLIDE
AYANEO officially announced the sliding series Windows handheld SLIDE, which is equipped with a full physical keyboard. The design takes into account the user's habits, the key positions conform to the arrangement of the conventional keyboard, and it has cool lighting effects.
AYANEO SLIDE is equipped with AMD 6800U CPU. In addition to strong performance, the control also maintains the consistent level of AYANEO, and the key arrangement is in line with the habits of handheld players.
SLIDE is AYANEO's best gift for those who still rely on keyboards and have nostalgic feelings. It is also our excellent work to pay tribute to the classic products of the past in terms of control and structure.
At present, we have only released the conceptual design of SLIDE, please wait for further news for more details.
AYANEO AIR & AIR Pro
After launching AYANEO 2021 and AYANEO NEXT, we launched the world's first ultra-thin OLED handheld: AYANEO AIR, which is named after air and symbolizes the thin and light experience that this series of products brings to users.

While providing the AMD Ryzen 5 5560U CPU version, there is also a performance burst version equipped with the high-performance AMD Ryzen 7 5825U CPU. With an ultra-thin body, it also has high-efficiency performance, stronger heat dissipation and battery life.

The weight remains at 450g. While maintaining the thin and light body, it continues the silky feel of AYANEO AIR. AYANEO AIR Pro is an all-around warrior specially designed for players who pursue the ultimate performance.
The difference between AYANEO AIR and AIR Pro lies in three aspects: body thickness, heat dissipation capacity, and battery life. Of course, the AIR Pro also has exclusive access to the AMD 5825U. AIR is the best choice for friends who want to experience the ultimate thin and light, play independent games most of the time, and occasionally play 3A games.
