Ayaneo, a Chinese company known for its handheld gaming devices since its founding in 2020, has made a significant splash at GDC 2025 in San Francisco by unveiling its first Android gaming devices. Initially recognized for its Windows-based handheld gaming PCs, Ayaneo has now broadened its horizons with the introduction of two new Android devices: the Ayaneo Gaming Pad and the Ayaneo Pocket S2.
What Are the Two New Ayaneo Android Gaming Devices?
The Ayaneo Gaming Pad is an Android gaming tablet, while the Ayaneo Pocket S2 is a new handheld gaming device. Both are powered by Qualcomm's cutting-edge Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 platform, marking them among the first devices to leverage this advanced hardware. This platform promises substantial enhancements in CPU and GPU performance compared to its predecessor.
The Ayaneo Gaming Pad features an 8.3-inch LCD screen with a 1440p resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It supports advanced gaming features such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Snapdragon Game Super Resolution, ensuring top-notch visual quality. Additionally, it includes Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, which offers faster and more stable online gaming experiences. The device boasts a sleek design with a glass back and a CNC-machined metal frame, and it's equipped with high-end cameras: a 50MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP front-facing camera, setting it apart from other gaming tablets.
The Ayaneo Pocket S2, on the other hand, is an Android handheld with a 6.3-inch 1440p display. It includes upgraded gaming controls like a 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 offer robust game management and customization options. Like the Gaming Pad, the Pocket S2 benefits from the Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 platform, enhancing energy efficiency and performance while supporting features like hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
