AYANEO has announced the launch prices for its AYANEO Air 1S and also announced an even thinner and lighter limited edition model. The thinner and lighter model will have a thickness of just 18mm (from 21.6mm) and weigh only 405g (down from 450g). Obviously it’ll have a smaller battery too.

The AYANEO AIR 1S retains that same 5.5″ AMOLED 1080p display which is quite frankly one of the best displays that I’ve seen on any handheld to date. It also brings the power with an AMD 7840U CPU which is one of the most powerful mobile gaming processors and very capable of AAA gaming.
The AYANEO Air 1S also has a new sound system which features stereo audio, and is said to be beyond what we’ve seen in other AYANEO devices.
As far as size goes, the device is a lot smaller than the ASUS ROG Ally, Steam Deck and even the Nintendo Switch with the formfactor being similar to that of the Nintendo Switch Lite.
