9 models in and they are still finding things to improve. 😅
*sans the day in daylight (although I think that's a better name 😉)
It'll never end lmao
It will keep happening trying to keep up with the latest but they don't understand that they are stretching themselves thin and they will stop updating their previous models so they don't seem reliable in the long run 😅
That first neo not feeling so neo
Lol we’re probably 3 months away from another refresh
@@obblivionkr try 3 weeks at this point.
I ordered this and honestly can't wait. I know a lot of people will say the screen size is too small but honestly it looks just right for me. And while I understand the pricing is more than the Ally, to me the OLED screen, form factor, and Hall based controls more than justify the asking price (at least the early bird price).
Trust me when i tell you that these handheld sizes are getting out of control. They don't feel portable anymore and the Air 1S is in my opinion the example to follow. Most of the Nintendo community agrees that an OLED Lite would be the ultimate portable console because of that same reason we had them when we were kids. So we can shove it in the pocket and take it everywhere without the need of giant carry cases or even backpacks.
If you don't mind the size of the switch lite screen or find that screen size just fine, you'll be very happy with this device. I just sold my Air Pro to upgrade to this and I was super happy with that device once I had it set up just right 🎉
5.5 is a bit small and i'd rather have a 6 inch screen. But, at least it seems comfortable to hold. I have a Max 2 and it's a pain to play with it.
Your video came in clutch as I was considering getting the new 7840U Air 1S, and in very high quality and detailed fashion. The teardown to show the internal layout is also much appreciated.
OMG it looks so neat!! So simple and classy. And it's so much smaller than Steam Deck?! I might get this one...
Aya's handhelds always look beautiful, i love the retro colour scheme. Looks like the software is moving in the right direction too. If money were no object I'd definitely have one of these, but hard to justify havig more than one handheld PC
Fantastic, OLED has returned, I never liked the Air Plus, now I am in love again
And here I am just having bought my Aya Neo Air Sakura Pink.
Now I would have felt bad, but it at least feels relevant with how expensive this thing is (and having no other pink option)
I wonder if it possible for companies to make a smartphone handheld with Ryzen chip?
Pay once and I'll get a powerful gaming PC that can make call.
I miss Xperia Play. Such a cool concept.
That's what I'm waiting for
Beautiful. I've had 3 AYANEO and all 3 treated me well. The Ally has taken me now with the performance of the next gen chips in my mains BF 2042 and MW 2. I'll probably be back on AYANEO next gen or when Kun comes out. Great devices to me. I still have an AYANEO 2 for now.
This is expensive but it gets a pass because the form factor is ridiculous. It's the packaging that counts! Fitting a 7840U in this!!
Ayaneo is very interesting. This space is looking hot rn!
This one actually fits in your pocket. Loving that OLED screen too
Honestly it's quite nice from an objective standpoint, but honestly the pricing makes it less justifiable than say the ROG Ally. But I love the smaller form factor
I'll stick with the Steam Deck. This is a fantastic device, but at $800 for the entry level at the Early Bird price, I think I'll stick with a device that's been road tested a bit. AyaNeo kindof turned into OnePlus in a way - they started out with budget-friendly devices in this space, but have somehow become the premium player. Great devices, but a bit out of my comfort zone. I do love that more companies are putting out devices that are around the size of a Switch Lite, though.
When were they the budget model? They were always the premium brand. I paid $1300 for the first Aya Neo Retro Power!!!
@@OzSuguitan Maybe I’m thinking of the Ayn ODIN then? That’s also part of the problem, way too many devices in this space coming out far too rapidly, for me anyway.
Steam makes money off the software. They sell the decks at a loss lol. All these other companies aren’t charging too much, they’re charging the accurate price. Asus can afford to undercut them because of their ties in the hardware industry. It’s not that you’re overpaying for these, the steam deck and rog ally are insane deals because the companies can afford it.
@@ShadyRapture Where did I say anyone was overpaying? I don’t care what the “accurate” cost should be, $800 to play games on the go for a couple of hours just isn’t as good a value as $400 to play games on the go for a couple of hours. If people want to spend that much then more power to them and they have my blessing and support from here till the second coming, but for me that’s just not economical.
I had the AOKZOE A1 but at that time I did not care about the weight and at the end this is now for me the most important aspect for a handheld. I just pre order the ultra thin edition at 405g for almost 1000$ but the weight justify the price for me. No other company are doing 400g weight except Nintendo with their Switch.
Are you not concerned about the battery life of the ultra thin model with only 28wH battery?
@@memo29b Yes I am, but I'm more concerned with the weight. On the go I would take an external battery if needed but usually on train or plane you can charge. And at home I want to play in my bed and I can charge while playing. I prefer having less weight while charging than more weight without charging
Hah, another perfect analogy is camera gear.
"Wow, cool, you've got yourself a D850! How does it shoot?"
"It is so heavy by itself, that it keeps my documents neatly in place" - works great in studio (or at home, console) but outside... Have fun lugging it around
70 pages!!!??? Thank you for your service, damn! I hope they paid you good!
Taki, PLEASE use chapter markers
Hopefully they make an AIR 2 with the 8000 series and a smaller screen bezel (5.5 to 6 inch?), I really like the size of the device
Ugh I would buy that asap. 5.5" screens are right on the cusp of too small for me. 6" screens are perfect tho
Having FSR 2.0 built in will be the biggest reason for my buying any handheld.
Wish they could fith a bigger screen, those bezels are big!
Nice device though, Hope more companies would build smaller handheld console.. "Steam deck like" devices are way too big to be used outside, they are not portable at all
Also, nice video man!
Absolutely the perfect size wow ❤
the new software looks soo good. props to the improvements
The original AIR models released 11 months ago. We now have 3 revisions in that time, I get they're a smaller outfit but good god man that's way too much. And don't get me started on the SKUs, some of these don't make sense for what they're going to do.
Why is there a 32GB RAM model in the first place? to reduce cost of the others maybe but realistically, this isn't going to be doing workloads that require that much RAM. And the Thin SKU seems redundant at the thickness of the Thicker model.
Make fewer SKUs that fill their roles instead of over complicating the line. i'd love to see how many Thin - Thick units are sold when the next one comes around.
The smaller size and less bulk is a selling point for me but I wish the screen is larger.
Hoping for flexible screen tech become mature and allow a handheld screen to be expanded when gaming.
For me the main barrier these smaller devices have to breach is to match the Steam Deck at 8-10W TDP. If I have to be constantly near a charger or power bank anyway, may as well go with a larger device. For something "ultra-portable" I'd at least expect Steam Deck power efficiency, as let's be real, even that is not that great compared to traditional handhelds.
If there is ever a 7640U model, that might come close. 6 CPU cores and 8 GPU CUs should help with low-end power draw.
The new Air Plus 7320u model at a little under $400 (I managed to snag it for $269 on early bird) has crazy performance at 6w. you only get about 20% improvement going from 6w to 15w. I'm not sure it beats the steam deck, but it's got a way bigger battery and you can get 5-6 hours of older games, indie games, gamecube, ps2, most switch games at 6w. also has a MUCH nicer screen, way smaller and better looking, hall sensor joysticks, very premium build quality. steam deck wins in high watt performance, speakers, and community support
Getting one in a few days. I have a SD and sometimes I do work on it. But it's too bulky for me to even bring outside my home or on work trips. This is perfect. Just a dock and some portable keyboard. I'm good to go.
Should’ve been a 7640u option at 649$
Oh man youtr one of few youtube channels i knwo who play core keeper, I've played it awhile ago and man wad it such a fun game. So underrated
Their pricing is just nuts
Nuts? £614 pounds is fine it is cheaper than the ally in the UK
I own an Ayaneo 2. I have no say the build quality is ahead of the competition. Super premium
It's because Aya neo want to be the premium brand and their hardware actually is more premium, apart of 120hz they have best displays, best joysticks, best build quality and materials, one of best if not best cooling...
I still mostly use Ally over my Aya Neo 2, but still I see a reason why people buy Aya Neo instead
How so? They are hand-built gaming hand-helds?
Their cheapest is 800 dollars... That's definitely more expensive than the Ally
I think this could easily fit a 6 inch display, look at those huge bezels man
13:33 Dying daylight? Though it was Dying light😅
Taki, do you think the analog sticks are holding back these models back? I think it would be perfect with full motion sticks like a xbox controller. It might stick out a bit but id take usability over appearance any day.
I personally like larger joysticks.
Not only appearance, take portability into consideration
1 Months from nao, introducing AYANEO AIR 1S+ / PRO
Man I feel like there's a million fucking handheld devices out there, how the hell do these companies have enough money to just keep making these
You got me with the comment at the end about an Air Plus 1s 😭 I was set on picking this up after watching through.
But now I'm curious if I should wait to see if they release an Air Plus 1s 👀
The price is still to pricey
BUT looks so good
Amd needs to publish the latest supported driver
Had it been slightly cheaper than Ally i would buy it in a heartbeat. The performance to portability ratio is insane, i don't mind the rather small screen, saves me some battery.
Frost solid state active cooling will change the handheld market
Don't give them ideas!
This version definitely tickles my feathers a lot and as much. I really want to make the plunge, but the fact it's only an indiegogo product still holds me back, since I've never purchased from there and I know they don't handling taxes. The biggest draws for me were, not only the APU, but the size/form factor. Noticed during my travels if I'd like a powerful handheld to carry with anything bigger than the switch (normal size) would just be too big for me, and both the steam deck and ROG Ally are.
God I wish the steam deck had an oled version
How's the battery life though? Battery Capacity wasn't upgraded
How long can you play at 15w TDP with 50% brightness 50% speaker?
I would've loved it to see the discharge rate on the games you've played, it gives a really good insight into how much batterylife can be expected dependant on tdp (and how much the screen etc. impacts battery life)
The AyaNeo Air design is really very beautiful. I personally think 5.5" is small for some Windows games. For now, SteamDeck is serving me well. When Aya launches the Air Plus model with LTPO, FreeSync, Adaptive Sync or Dynamic Refresh Rate screens, that's when: TAKE MY MONEY
All in all but without OLED, Air Plus is just nothing
Nah, I good with good LED screens. I personally prefer 6' LED screen than small OLED
With the current market? Which one would you choose? 2s, Air 1S, Aokzoe A1Pro, Aokzoe A2, Onexfly?
No Ally option?
@@TakiUdon and the Ally too. 😅
Babe, wake up. Taki made another handheld!
They have so many handhelds and their pricing years after are still priced very high. Im alittle worried about their android pricing
Taki, I would like to see a video with a comparation. What is the best handheld that you can recommend us now?
Cheers Taki. Chinese to English translation is clearly a bit tricky, I imagine 'More Freedom Of Expansion Satisfy Tossing Heart Of Gamers' sounded better in the original.
That's Chinglish
1. Old design
2. Small screen
3..Thick bezels
What's there to like about this model? There are many other 7480U brands to choose from.
Man it really is wild seeing all these hanhelds
That's why I didn't sell my Geek for pennies after the Ally come out. Kudos to AYA for the new coming AYA space2.0
Aya neo pc handheld gaming consoles are the best. 💻🇯🇵
They don't use the battery as the heat sink!? Inconceivable!
Need Anbernic engineering!
@@TakiUdon I told a friend of mine that one of these companies seemed to regularly do that... I wish I'd recorded his reaction LOL!
GPD WIN 4 is the best with it's raisable screen. Steam decks thumbsticks being at the top means you're holding the top of the unit which means the screen is stupidly low and your neck pays for it.
lmao i was looking for this video 5 hours ago. so glad you uploaded it today.
Im getting confused with their naming. I also wish they put in an oculink port. Using an adapter is almost impossible with the NVME drive hidden behind a plastic shroud.
I bought a OnePlus Nord n20 5g with an OLED screen and snapdragon 619 for only 230 bucks. It runs some PS2 games and the screen is just gorgeous. Pixel art has arguably never looked better.
The first thing I always consider and tell my friends to always consider is battery life. It’s the first thing I look at and from that perspective it’s a no. But it’s indeed pretty though.
Another day, another premium handheld without a VRR screen.
They should put this screen in the ARM based Pocket Air
They did
@@TakiUdon well, they are getting my money 💰 this time. Loves your videos, I’m already on my 3rd modern handheld.
Hi TAKI, can you recommend a good handheld for Sega Saturn emulation?
They tried to say that the 6800U wouldn't work in an Air Pro chassis. They swore up and down it couldn't work. Guess what, it could work. This proves it.
I won't mind playing with rsr 720p or even fsr2 performance in HD res with this oled screen
It's beautiful and 1080p would be irrelevant for this size
360p gaming should be just fine
I have the Air Pro and the 5.5 inch is too small for Windows gaming. Also they haven't fulfilled the Indiegogo orders for the Ayaneo 2S yet with delays in posting and yet they keep releasing new products. Too many products in too short a time.
Love the size and look of the Air line, as always. While I will probably be sticking to the Steam Deck for a while, I absolutely know people personally who hate the design and size of the Steam Deck and would kill for something smaller and prettier like this. I hope Ayaneo comes out with more budget-minded variants soon, maybe 6600U or 7640U models. Or, at the very least, sell the old 5560U for cheaper...
I love this design of theirs. I honestly hope they keep making it until the difference in performance over the steam deck is big enough to warrant the purchase for me.
Nintendo Switch Design? Lmao
The performance is already miles ahead.
@@deckverse Nintendo never has been about performance it's 2023 have you people not realized a less performing gar graphically from Nintendo is 100× better then anything that has ray tracing 4k
@@MajinTar What are you even talking about? You're referring to the wrong comment it seems.
Actually the RAM is a big difference not just the new type but also the bandwidth and speed difference.
I am really more curious about pocket air. Might get this one. I already have a 6800u air plus, which i like a lot.
ugh its so damn small though. Sad they dont make the larger models with oleds
I wonder how far away we are from 1080p mid/high in AAA titles on these handhelds
No point in 1080 with the size of these screens. 720 120fps is where it's at
I'm pretty sure 1080p is possible, but like the other commenter says it's probably not needed given the screen size. Plus running it at 720p means a lower TDP which should help with battery life.
Begging them to just use ChimeraOS or HoloISO because Windows is such a pain on handhelds.
Love the video but I'm so curious about what USB-C cable is being used. I really like the thickness and design.
Taki you were so close to saying it but what is the monitoring overlay you use? Been dying to know.
RTSS
The other thing that drive me nuts about Aya Neo is the lack of 800p Geek 1S reviews. Are they waiting for the campaign to be over? They have no trouble showing off new upcoming hardware though. I also wish their devices were easy to open with regular screws.
ETA Prime did a review on the 800p Geek 1s (the base model).
@@amazinglogan858 it's the only one I've seen and it's short.
Taki here. I made the ayeo neo air
Nope.
Best way to play game on 15 watt TDP that was cool!
It does look good for what it is.
Long live the SNES.
Super Mario RPG has no right to be so fucking good.
Chrono Trigger. enough said.
I could go on and on, just so good.
Hi taki, will you review the japanese design AOKZOE A1 Pro? Also a beast like top tier handheld
Honestly I only clicked because how adorable mario looked
Can you do a comparison againts vibrantdeck (steamdeck)?
thought ssd is use mini size
I just want one of these things to be able to play older online games like ff11 and PSO private servers.
ayaneo space 2 is amazing
I recently got the Air Plus 6800u, nearly perfect except for the terrible tiny uncomfortable A/B/X/Y buttons, turned out a real deal breaker for me and i'm selling it - such a shame. Russ from RGC said the same thing.
I was really curious about this one, then I saw the Geek 1S had a much bigger battery. Have you noticed much of a different of playtime between the two?
Geek has a much bigger battery. It's really noticeable at the TDP range that I use.
@@TakiUdon That's why I put in my preorder of the Geek. But now that begs the question: Why are you giving away the Geek 1S in your next review!?
No one ever reviews the Geek 1s. Eta prime finaly did something but he leaves a lot of stuff out.
@@tomoprime217eta prime is not a reviewer.
@@tomoprime217Looking at phawx review, his review of the geek 1s also seemed really shallow and not as in depth as his other reviews. Idk if he's a shill now too
I want to see more Aya Neo Pocket Air I realky hope the price range is $200-300.
I would love this if it wasnt $1000+
16GB is enough. 16GB +512GB is $800.
It’s actually $799
$799 for the early bird price 16 gb model. Plus Aya is throwing in probably around $100 worth of extras - some of which are pretty nice - that makes that even easier to swallow.
32gbs
(They should allow a 16gb UMT buffer [more ram dedicated to gpu]) because 32gbs is useless unless your doung extreme multitasking or blender stuff alike
What game is that early access in the beginning. Looks like my jam.
Chinglish is now one of my favorite words 🤣
A tiny battery with a 5.5" screen kills it for me. All the recent Ayaneo videos I've seen in the states have many complaints about Aya space not working. Cases cracking with paint pealing. The front surface getting so hot that the ips develops major light bleed over time. Several other issues with buggy crashes and most reviewers saying to stay away. I've heard really good things about the 7840u GPD Win4 being the best performer out of all of them. Although it's ergonomics, analog sticks leaves a lot to be desired. The only reason I'd be leaning towards an Ally is that the VRR screen hides any framerate issues for screen tearing so the experience looks smooth regardless of how the competition puts up higher frames. I like the dual fan cooling system. I hate that there is a big SD card reader issue. It seems I can't trust any handheld but the steamdeck as a safer bet but it feels its getting long in the tooth. It sucks because after all these years of watching new handheld videos I still don't feel secure in buying one. 😵💫
Does it fit in the pocket?
Yes the original fit in my pocket and I used a flip cover from the Nintendo switch lite to protect the screen from scratches while in my pocket
@@blackpanthertchallalem8522 I'm really curious what kind of Flip cover you use for it. to me it seems like most of them would kind of suck with the thicker air pro...
does anyone know the name of this pixel art game in the first 30 seconds?
Impressive! - how's its D-pad/button latency?
If only they could fix the bezels XD
Nice to have full screen instead of bezels
How many aya systems have been made in the last two years and are they supporting the ones already released with updates or something?
10:35
@@TakiUdon ahh sorry missed it that was fault it went by quickly for me
Are you going to do a video on the battery life? I need to know before considering
