Buying guide
How to choose your AYANEO
Should I choose an AYANEO Windows or Android handheld?
Choose a Windows model (the AYANEO 3) if you want to play native PC games from Steam and other storefronts. Choose an Android Pocket model if your focus is emulation, cloud gaming and mobile titles at a lower price and weight.
Which AYANEO is best for AAA PC games?
The AYANEO 3 is the range’s most powerful device, built around a current-generation AMD Ryzen AI APU. Real-world frame-rates in demanding titles depend on your chosen configuration and in-game settings.
What is the most portable AYANEO?
The Pocket Micro and Pocket DMG use 3.5"-class bodies designed to slip into a pocket, making them the easiest AYANEO handhelds to carry every day.
Which AYANEO has two screens?
The AYANEO Pocket DS adds a second display beneath the main screen, suited to dual-screen (DS-style) games and running a game plus a companion app at once.
