The AYA Neo Air incorporates a 5.5 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel AMOLED show, as much as 32GB of RAM an AMD Ryzen 5 5000U processor with Radeon Vega built-in graphics, an M.2 2280 slot for as much as 2TB of stable state storage.
An entry-level model of the AYA Neo Air additionally has only a 28Wh battery, which AYA acknowledges goes to offer between solely slightly greater than an hour of sport play time for extra resource-intensive video games like Forza Horizon 5 or The Witcher 3. You must be capable of get round 2.5 hours of battery life for much less demanding video games like Useless Cells, however that’s nonetheless nowhere close to the sort of battery life you’d get from competing units with larger batteries: the ONEXPLAYER 1S, for instance, has actually has twice the battery capability of the AYA Neo Air.
There will likely be an AYA Neo Air Professional mannequin that does include a 38 Wh battery that ought to present slightly extra run time, however even that falls in need of most competing units and the corporate is simply promising 89 minutes of run time for Forza Horizon 5 and three.25 hours for Useless Cells.

AYA Neo Air Plus
Whereas the battery life is disappointing, throughout a press occasion, AYA additionally performed up the gadget’s strengths, together with that AMOLED show, which has a 100,000:1 distinction ratio, 109% NTSC coloration gamut (and 100% sRGB, 96% Adobe RGB, and 99% DCI-P3), and help for as much as 350 nits brightness.
The gadget can be mentioned to be sufficiently small to slide “simply right into a trouser pocket,” though I believe that will depend on the dimensions of your pants pockets.
Different options embody a microSD card reader, a 3.5mm audio jack, sport controllers that embody RGB lighting beneath the analog sticks, and a “full perform” USB-C port. Want extra ports? There’s additionally an elective docking station that connects to the USB-C port to offer you HDMI and Ethernet ports, two USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports.

AYA has additionally begun to indicate off what seems to be a brand new Linux-based working system known as AYA Neo OS, which features a customized person interface designed for controller navigation, an app retailer, and instruments for button mapping, adjusting controller settings, and tweaking processor settings, amongst different issues.
It’s unclear if AYA Neo OS will ship customary on any of the corporate’s handhelds, or if it will likely be out there as a substitute for Home windows. However given the recognition of Valve’s Linux-based Steam Deck, it’s clear that Linux is changing into a viable possibility for gaming units. It’s additionally lengthy been a preferred possibility for players utilizing emulators to play traditional console video games.
General, whereas the AYA Neo Air enters an more and more crowded market with just a few stand-out options together with an OLED show, a compact design, and a fairly low beginning worth, there’s much more competitors for funds handheld gaming PCs than there have been just a few months in the past.
Not solely does Valve’s Steam Deck begin at $399, however the upcoming AYN Loki is anticipated to begin at simply $299 for fashions with an Intel Alder Lake processor or $499 for variations with AMD Ryzen 6000U chips that includes RDNA 2 graphics. And Anbernic, an organization that’s largely centered on funds retro gaming units with ARM processors till now, can be anticipated to enter the x86/Home windows handheld area quickly.
The AYA Neo Air is already out there for pre-order in China, and it needs to be out there worldwide quickly.
