Global debut of Qualcomm Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 Gaming Platform

AYANEO has been working closely with Qualcomm. As a strategic partner of the Snapdragon G Series gaming platform, we have jointly created a series of flagship Android handheld consoles, such as Pocket S, DMG, EVO, and ACE, for gamers around the world, continuously pushing the boundaries of mobile gaming experience.

 

Now, AYANEO has once again joined hands with Qualcomm to create a new peak of Android handheld performance. The Pocket S2 series is the world's first to be equipped with Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 gaming platform. The new 1+5+2 octa-core architecture led by the 3.3GHz super core makes the CPU core solo performance more than 10% higher than the previous generation, and the overall performance is improved by 30%. The daily use and games focusing on CPU performance are smoother.

 

The main frequency of the new Adreno A33 GPU has been further increased to 1.05 GHz, bringing a 28% performance improvement and better energy efficiency. The performance and energy efficiency have both leaped forward, and the performance ceiling has exceeded that of mobile phone chips of the same level. The AnTuTu comprehensive score easily exceeds 2 million points, calmly coping with the challenges of heavy load scenarios such as large 3D mobile games, high definition retro games, and streaming games.

 

Meanwhile, after AYANEO, Qualcomm, leading game manufacturers, game developers, and the open-source community jointly optimized the game compatibility of the Snapdragon G series gaming platform, the game compatibility of the AYANEO Pocket S2 series is exactly the same as that of regular Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones, allowing users to easily turn on high image quality and high frame rate options in various Android games.

 

With the improved game compatibility and AYANEO's exclusive "device disguise" function, the AYANEO Pocket S2 series supports simulating a phone with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, unlocking higher image quality and frame rate options in more mobile games.

 

Not only that, the AYANEO Pocket S2 series, which is powered by Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 gaming platform, supports the Turnip driver out of the box, making it the most powerful device currently supporting the Turnip driver. When playing specific types of games such as simulated PC games through tools like Winlator, it can provide a smoother and more stable frame number, with an experience far ahead of mobile phones and handheld consoles in the same class.

 

The Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 gaming platform also significantly improves its decoding capabilities, especially for the AV1 format, which is beneficial for the streaming gaming experience. The streaming mode of the AYANEO Pocket S2 series has also been upgraded and optimized. The performance scheduling and fan speed are more intelligent, achieving better power consumption and temperature control while ensuring stable performance output. Therefore, the image quality, frame rate stability, and latency of streaming games have been comprehensively improved, bringing a streaming gaming experience comparable to that of local games.

 

The AYANEO Pocket S2 series not only has a powerful performance foundation and excellent game compatibility, but also has the natural advantage of long-lasting and aggressive performance release far beyond that of mobile phones. It truly realizes the freedom of playing all types of high-image quality games without any restrictions and with full frames on a single device. It can be called the most all-round, lightweight and portable gaming device at present.

 

Efficient heat dissipation helps to release the peak 20W performance

The AYANEO Pocket S2 series brings a new heat dissipation solution for the thin and light body and the CNC all-metal body frame. The innovative design of the fan pressing on the main board can conduct heat to the core heat source more directly and efficiently.

On the basis of the innovative heat dissipation design, the AYANEO Pocket S2 series is equipped with a larger 6630mm² heat dissipation copper plate and 14295mm² heat dissipation fins to further improve the heat dissipation capacity. The powerful fan can greatly improve the air circulation efficiency and quickly discharge the heat out of the fuselage to ensure the stable output of E-sports performance.

 

At the same time, the AYANEO Pocket S2 series introduced special project optimization for the metal frame, adding a heat insulation layer between the middle frame and the main board to reduce the direct conduction of heat to the frame and effectively reduce the obvious heat feeling of the metal frame. Even under high load for a long time, gamers can still enjoy a more comfortable holding experience.

 

With the support of the new and efficient cooling system, the AYANEO Pocket S2 series can unleash the unprecedented peak performance of 20W for Android devices at room temperature, easily reaching the peak of the Android device's ultimate performance. Coupled with excellent energy efficiency and game compatibility, it can truly play all types of games with full frames and high image quality.

 

Up to 10000mAh super battery in the same class

The AYANEO Pocket S2 series not only achieves a dual upgrade in performance and heat dissipation, but also brings a leapfrog improvement in battery life. The Pocket S2 is upgraded with an 8000mAh high-density super-large battery, which is 33% higher than the previous generation. It also supports 40W PD fast charging and bypass charging, providing more reliable long battery life support.

 

Even more pleasantly surprising is that the AYANEO Pocket S2 Pro, with its breakthrough stacking design, is equipped with a huge 10,000mAh battery within the exact same body size. This not only makes it the largest battery among products in the same category but even surpasses most 7-inch handheld consoles. It truly achieves the "impossible triangle" of high performance, portability, and ultra-long battery life.

 

 

Moreover, the AYANEO Pocket S2 Pro supports 60W PD fast charging and bypass charging. With a 10,000mAh battery and the Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 gaming platform with excellent energy efficiency, gamers can enjoy long hours of gaming without worrying about battery life. The AYANEO Pocket S2 Pro sets a new benchmark for the battery life of ultra-thin Android handheld consoles.

 

Industry's top 6.3" 1440P high-brightness screen

The AYANEO Pocket S2 series is upgraded with a larger 6.3" 1440P IPS True Color screen, which combines a larger field of view with a super-retina precision of 466PPI. The 120% sRGB color gamut volume and 90% DCI-P3 present the same ultra-clear and amazing image quality as always.

 

Meanwhile, the new 1440P IPS True Tone display is upgraded to support a maximum global brightness of 600 nits, bringing out vivid colors and making the picture more vivid and three-dimensional. The wider brightness range also further enhances the screen experience in different gaming scenarios. Whether you're traveling outdoors or relaxing before bed, gamers can experience the excellent visual effects that are most suitable for the current environment.

 

 

The Android handheld reaches the peak of beauty

The AYANEO Pocket S2 series inherits the lightweight concept of the Pocket S series. On the basis of achieving a leapfrog upgrade in performance, heat dissipation and battery life, the thickness of the whole series is 15.9mm, which is still lightweight and portable.

 

The AYANEO Pocket S2 series continues the frameless mirror screen design, with an integrated full-fit slightly curved glass panel and an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio. It not only has a high-class and delicate feel but also brings an immersive visual experience that will amaze gamers.

 

The AYANEO Pocket S2 series features a brand-new high-end luxury design language. The incorporation of natural curves makes the overall appearance and feel of the device more rounded and gentle. It remains a high-performance handheld console of the leading art-grade in its class.

 

 

In terms of color scheme, the AYANEO Pocket S2 comes in two classic colors: Obsidian Black and Ice Soul White. The deep and pure aesthetics of the screen-off state and the noble and elegant minimalist style are further enhanced by the exquisite crystal buttons.

 

The AYANEO Pocket S2 Pro not only comes in classic black and white color schemes, but also features the Retro Power classic color scheme, which is crafted at great cost, and the highly anticipated return of the B.Duck "Pixel Memories" co-branded color scheme. The Retro Power color scheme still features the familiar classic colors of vintage yellow, vintage gray, and olive green, allowing users to immerse themselves in a nostalgic atmosphere as soon as they pick it up.

 

B.Duck Pixel Memory combines the cute image of the yellow duck with the retro pixel pattern. The bold red and blue color-colliding button design adds a special sense of vitality to the whole machine. The back cover uses a combination of advanced UV spraying and watermark technology.

 

Both the AYANEO Pocket S2 Pro Retro Power and the B.Duck Pixel Memory use two-color solid buttons, which are more in line with the overall theme design of the machine. Whether it is the buttons, the metal frame or the overall appearance color adjustment, they have undergone more complex processes for repeated debugging and processing, reflecting AYANEO's ultimate pursuit of design texture.

 

The upgrade is not only in design and texture. The AYANEO Pocket S2 series has been upgraded to a CNC aluminum alloy arc frame with a better feel, featuring a smoother curve and a large R-angle design for a more natural transition. This design allows gamers to hold the device more comfortably in their palms. At the same time, the back of the device has been changed to a four-curved arc back cover, which smoothly connects to the arc frame, providing a smooth and rounded feel like a cobblestone that gamers will love.

 

In addition, the shoulder buttons and trigger buttons of the AYANEO Pocket S2 series feature a new anti-slip texture design. This not only adds a touch of elegance but also provides gamers with a more stable and responsive gaming experience, ensuring that they can play for extended periods without worrying about slipping due to sweaty hands.
