AYANEO gave us our best look at the AYANEO Kun overnight and it’s absolutely set to be the new flagship Windows handheld.
It has an 8.4-inch 1600p display which will no doubt carry on AYANEO’s legacy of having the best displays in these Windows handheld devices. It also has a whopping 75Wh battery which to put into perspective is almost double the sizes of the ASUS ROG Ally.
AYANEO also showed off a new 54w TDP extreme gaming mode, which the battery can apparently last just under an hour whilst playing. Dropping down to a more reasonable 15-20w TDP should result in ~3 hours of battery life which is a big jump from what we had seen with other AYANEO devices.
The other big gamechangers are back buttons as well as dual touchpads, which bas been a big feature that gamers have been requesting as it’s a big hit on the Steamdeck.
It’s also the first Windows handheld to have a front-facing camera with Windows Hello face recognition, and it has a hidden nano simcard slot for 4G gaming as well.
