AYANEO · NEXT II (NEXT 2)
AYANEO NEXT II
Flagship ultra-performance handheld · Pre-order (Indiegogo) — estimated delivery Jun 2026
The NEXT II is AYANEO's answer to the Strix Halo era: a 9.06" 165 Hz OLED with 100% DCI-P3, a huge 116 Wh battery and a choice of Ryzen AI Max 385 or AI Max+ 395 with up to 128 GB of unified RAM. It is a crowdfunded flagship — expect Indiegogo delivery risk — and at 1.4 kg with a battery that exceeds airline carry-on limits, it trades portability for desktop-class handheld power.
