During GDC 2025 in San Francisco, Ayaneo, a Chinese company renowned for its handheld gaming devices since its founding in 2020, unveiled its first Android gaming devices. Initially known for its Windows-based handheld gaming PCs, Ayaneo has now expanded its portfolio to include impressive Android-based hardware. Let's dive into the details of their latest offerings.
What Are the Two New Ayaneo Android Gaming Devices?
Ayaneo has introduced two new Android gaming devices: the Ayaneo Gaming Pad, an Android gaming tablet, and the Ayaneo Pocket S2, a new handheld gaming console. Both devices are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 platform, which marks them as some of the first devices to utilize this advanced hardware. This platform offers significant enhancements in CPU and GPU performance compared to its predecessors.
The Ayaneo Gaming Pad features an 8.3-inch LCD screen with a high 1440p resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Snapdragon Game Super Resolution, ensuring top-notch gaming visuals. Additionally, it comes with Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, which promises faster and more stable online gaming experiences. The design includes a sleek glass back and a durable CNC-machined metal frame. For photography enthusiasts, the tablet is equipped with a 50MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP front-facing camera, making it one of the few gaming tablets with high-end camera capabilities.
Complementing the tablet, the Ayaneo Pocket S2 is a compact Android handheld with a 6.3-inch 1440p display. It boasts an upgraded Hall-effect joystick, linear triggers, and dual X-axis motors for enhanced haptic feedback, delivering a more immersive gaming experience. The Pocket S2 also integrates Ayaneo's proprietary gaming software, AyaSpace and AyaHome, for seamless game management and customization. Like the Gaming Pad, it leverages the Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 platform for improved energy efficiency and performance, including support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
