Ayaneo, the Chinese company renowned for its handheld gaming devices, made a significant splash at GDC 2025 in San Francisco by unveiling its first Android gaming devices. Since its inception in 2020, Ayaneo has carved a niche in the market with its Windows-based handheld gaming PCs and has now expanded into the Android gaming arena with two exciting new offerings.
What Are the Two New Ayaneo Android Gaming Devices?
The two new devices introduced by Ayaneo are the Ayaneo Gaming Pad, an Android gaming tablet, and the Ayaneo Pocket S2, a sleek new handheld. Both devices are powered by the cutting-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 platform, positioning them among the first to leverage this advanced hardware. This platform brings significant enhancements in CPU and GPU performance compared to its predecessor.
The Ayaneo Gaming Pad boasts an 8.3-inch LCD screen with a crisp 1440p resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring fluid gameplay. It supports advanced features like hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Snapdragon Game Super Resolution, elevating the visual experience. Additionally, the tablet is equipped with Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, promising faster and more stable online gaming sessions. Its design is both elegant and robust, featuring a glass back and a CNC-machined metal frame. Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the high-end camera setup, which includes a 50MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP front-facing camera.
Complementing the tablet, the Ayaneo Pocket S2 is a compact yet powerful Android handheld with a 6.3-inch 1440p display. It is designed for gamers seeking precision and immersion, featuring an upgraded Hall-effect joystick, linear triggers, and dual X-axis motors for enhanced haptic feedback. The device runs on Ayaneo's proprietary gaming software, AyaSpace and AyaHome, which provide seamless game management and customization options. Like its tablet counterpart, the Pocket S2 harnesses the power of the Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 platform, improving energy efficiency and performance while supporting features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
