Aya Neo Launched, a Handheld Gaming Console Powered By AMD Ryzen 4500U

Initially, Aya had plans to launch the handheld Neo game console featuring AMD Ryzen “Renoir” APU last month, but after some delay, the company has started taking pre-orders in China only due to a limited quantity. Moreover, the founder’s editions has also been released.

The Aya Neo Founder features a translucent casing, and it looks like a PC version of the Nintendo Switch. Aya expects a high demand; hence they decided to launch with whatever inventory they have.

As Aya said:
“Aya is currently available for a limited time at a special price in China, with each machine having its own unique code. To prevent scalpers from raising the price, shipping overseas is not supported at this time. For overseas users, we may take a crowdfunding sale on IGG,”

In comparison to Switch’s 6.2-inch touchscreen (1280×720 resolution) and the Switch Lite’s 5.5-inch((1280×720 resolution) touchscreen the Aya Neo Founder has a nominal 7-inch IPS display that too features a 1280X720 resolution.
