Ayaneo knows a thing or two about handhelds, but the portable PC makers just announced plans to release something that sounds like a Steam Deck. However, rather than officially teaming up with Valve, the company’s next device will come armed with an unofficial version of SteamOS, and it feels like it’s designed with indie gaming fans in mind.
The best gaming handheld battlefield is getting busier by the minute, and Ayaneo normally deploys high spec contenders. You only have to look at our Ayaneo 2S review to understand what to usually expect, with specs and price points that sit well above the Steam Deck. Yet, that’s not to say the portable maker isn’t looking to break into the budget scene, and its next attempt isn’t afraid to take specs back a few years to cut costs.
