AYANEO Next Lite

[west blaze]

the duo 1

[zenith terrace]

Yea, it’s pretty solid

Which games are you curious about?

[west blaze]

mostly just dragon quest 8

there is a 3ds version that I'm pretty confident will run well but it just isn't as great looking in the big landscapes

oh also final fantasy x/x-2

[zenith terrace]

The SD855 should handle it

[zenith terrace]

The FFX games for sure

[west blaze]

sick

[manic siren]

I feel like we are all having similar conversations on the respective devices 😄

[vale flint]

Anyone received a shipping notification yet?

[wraith abyss]

Kind of funny that right after we asked them about it, they rebranded it to a “Next Lite” case.

[high ridge]

@zenith terrace now that the 100 early bird units sold through the white is in stock

[zenith terrace]

I like the blue, it's purrrty

https://tenor.com/view/bruce-almighty-jim-carrey-beautiful-happy-smile-gif-4874848

[high ridge]

The white tho

Orange accents are nice

[zenith terrace]

That was the one I wanted originally

[high ridge]

Want me to buy one so we can trade

[zenith terrace]

nope

lol

[high ridge]

Gonna need you to compare the next lite and next pro to tell us if the only change is literally just the chip

[zenith terrace]

are they selling the 4800u model yet?

[high ridge]

Not yet

Still 4500u

I'm holding off of expensive handhelds right now cause I'd like to get a new TV for my apartment

[zenith terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/barriga-de-aluguel-cláudia-abreu-novela-tv-televisão-gif-10237226427044768204

[zenith terrace]

Aya is one weird company lol

[high ridge]

A 3200u Mini PC and a 4500u handheld in 2025

2024

[zenith terrace]

and probably 2025, let's be real

[high ridge]

Ayaneo AM07
3200U $99

Ayaneo Next Lighter $199

[zenith terrace]

lol

slowly getting rid of their stock of old chips

[high ridge]

Can't wait for the fire sale personally

Cut the price in half please

[zenith terrace]

90% off Next Lite

lol

[dry olive]

Some people will still complain about the device even if it was 90% off.

[wraith abyss]

Me selling you my handhelds at an extreme discount doesn’t count as a fire sale.

[high ridge]

I'll give you $200 for the Next Lite when you're done with it

[high ridge]

Please

[wraith abyss]

Deal.

[high ridge]

Damn I didn't think that would work

[zealous raven]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-wink-yes-ditto-gif-16632266

[limpid beacon]

I think my favorite thing about the Next Lite so far is the sheer volume of discussion it has sparked

[dry olive]

I think think other companies should look at this and sell these one or two year old APU in new devices at a lower cost. less Ewaste. AMD 4000-5000 series can still be useful chips for retro gaming.

[wraith abyss]

Who knows I may really like it and sell you back your air pro instead.

[manic siren]

Oh, I was just asking for it over email. Didn't even know it had been rebranded!

I think the early birds got rushed out to beat Chinese new year to be honest. Apparently they have a limited number of the retail units on the website right now (literally down to well under 40 at this point), and when they go, that'll be it for a while. Retail units for all the SKU's will land March/April.

[wraith abyss]

We're not going to see these until after CNY for sure.

[manic siren]

I can see it now.

I can get a Steam Deck with a broken screen that sometimes turns on for that price, just get a Steam Deck.

[manic siren]

An Aya staff member said March/April for the 4500u SKU's, and April for the 4800u. So yeah....

[wraith abyss]

Oh ok saddle up it's gonna be a wait.

[high ridge]

Give you $200 for that too

/jk

[wraith abyss]

Deal

[high ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/easy-red-easy-button-red-button-gif-4642542

Don't worry I'll sell it back to you later on for $50 less

[wraith abyss]

If you're serious I might just do it. My friendship ended with it when the Loki 6600U showed.

[high ridge]

You know where my DMs are

[manic siren]

It's been really interesting watching people tie themselves in knots arguing that we should "just" pay $100/$150/more, depending on where you are, for a Steam Deck.

On a discord where people often say $20 is the difference between a "great buy" and "DOA" for $60-$200 handhelds.

It's like x86 just engages a different part of the brain.

[wraith abyss]

I have to DM you anyway we need to talk about game night.

[high ridge]

Yeah there's other things we need to talk about anyways

[manic siren]

And for most of the PC games ever released, other than the last few years AAA titles 🙂

[manic siren]

I'm sort of hoping the plan is to ship out the early birds, build hype around the device, show people it's not just indies, and then release the rest on to the world after building FOMO about the device you can't get.....

But it's probably just Chinese New Year issues to be honest 😞

You have to give it to China. They do holidays right.

None of the usual western struggles getting families together at any time other than over Christmas for a few days.

The national shuts down as much as possible to make it work. For a week or two, multiple times a year. Which is a good thing in my opinion.

[winter ibex]

They grind for 12hours day more usual than in west

[manic siren]

Oh, for sure. It's called 996. Work from 9am to 9pm 6 days a week.

But most countries at their GDP per capita level have that without the holidays.

I'm certainly not romanticising Chinese labour practice. But if anything, it makes it even more surprising they do holidays so well.

I mean Japan did that between the 20's and the 90's, and they were often guilt tripped into not even taking annual leave.

It's just a really interesting/unusual set up.

[bleak coral]

It’s a simple case of having huge population with limited opportunities leading to everyone simply having to compete.

[haughty lagoon]

the problem is not a lot of these people emulate on pc anyways, so it's all just one big feargasm

[bright stratus]

I hope you're getting one

it will be like your new Roman Empire

After the win6

[haughty lagoon]

i'm more likely to get the rg556

[bright stratus]

But why

[haughty lagoon]

same cpu performance as rk3588, but a gpu half as strong, which means it'll hit the same cpu bottlenecks and only just top off its gpu for android gaming, switch ports, and pc/console 6th gen.

also, better battery life.

[bright stratus]

Why not game force then

[haughty lagoon]

nobody talks about the turd in that punchbowl which is the hungry 12w soc.

the scale of power draw from 8nm/12w to 6nm/9w is a sort of essential salt to how annoying the device will be to play on with the same 5500mah tablet battery

[bright stratus]

Huh

[fringe umbra]

basically an ARM handheld with the power consumption of an X86 handheld

[bright stratus]

is like a mini pc afterall

[fringe umbra]

yeah

[manic siren]

Let's hope its not got the heat issues of an x86.

[fringe umbra]

doesn't it have active cooling?

[agile crown]

Yes but after the rp4 pro throttling stuff I get ppl being concerned

[manic siren]

And ideally you want a lot of headroom for cooling. Can be more of an issue in the summer months where Air Con isn't common. Or if you live with an elderly relative that likes to keep the place toasty.

"Active cooling" doesn't mean much anyway. The RP Flip has active cooling. It doesn't do much unless you rip out some internal stuff blocking it.

I'm not saying it does have issues. I just mean it's a bit of an unknown right now.

[fringe umbra]

this is where Anbernic with the Win600 did a great thing

that cooler was so overbuilt it was great

[manic siren]

One plus point about the RP4 Pro's heat issues. Now all reviewers will be on the lookout for it in powerful devices.

[fringe umbra]

yup

but this means reviewers will probably need to invest in tech to give detailed info

[manic siren]

Or just get an infra red thermometer for $15 😄

[fringe umbra]

that's one piece

a thermal camera will cover the gaps that an IR thermometer will expose

[manic siren]

Oh, sure, you can go full Phawx on it 😄

I just mean the in between is fine for most people, and we don't need every reviewer doing the same tests anyhow.

But internal temperature stats software shows doesn't tell you about hot spots on the outside. An IR thermometer will if it's anything the average person will notice.

Therm camera is best, but a combination of software letting you know if it throttles even at max fan speed (or max non-annoying fan speed) when pushed, and a cheap IR thermometer to pick up any comfort issues should be fine.

Mostly it's just knowing to look for it though. Russ barely mentioned heat in his Rp4 pro review, which is probably just because he didn't play tough stuff for long enough, or thought to look out for throttling. He even mentioned the fans could be slowed down, as temperature wasn't a problem. I am sure he would have caught it if he had thought it might be a problem.

That's not particularly a criticism of Russ. He does great work, looks at loads of things, and got that review out really fast.

It's just something to add to the list to check, as he missed its biggest issue.

[haughty lagoon]

it's like how you only need to use the silent fan setting on the Pimax Portal Retro, XP Plus, and Win1 to get enough cooling to not throttle or get sweaty palms

capping your fan speed is one of those welcome benefits to this sort of gaming.

[dry olive]

Was amazing you get sweating hands from a intel atom apu. that component layout within the win1 was terrible. It was a 1st gen design. Phawx nickname it the lava stone device. haha.

I usually run the win1 with turboboost off. It does limit the types of games I can play on it.

[haughty lagoon]

yeah... it's all kinda clustered too tightly. the power efficiency is there, though. you could play Mount&Blade for an hour and only be 10% down on battery. it's a durable little device

I wish the soc wasn't completely phased out. Would be nice to see it in the body of the RP Flip with that same blackberry keyboard up top.

No month long IGG wait, no credit cards being declined because of IGG, no IGG $80 tip sneakily thrown in there....

Much easier.

Ppl would have to not cry abt chip first for that to happen

They will be happy when it runs a steam deck chip 🤠 (ie never)

For anyone who wants to give HoloIso a spin.

The step by step guide makes it seem pretty easy.

And no, I still have no idea what changes have been made to it 😄

[dry olive]

https://tenor.com/view/nbc-world-of-dance-world-of-dance-gifs-yes-this-gif-20049294

[zealous raven]

Yep mine has shipped too. Fastest Aya experience to date 😅

[manic siren]

https://tenor.com/view/pietromaximoff-pietro-quicksilver-gif-6239953

First thing I am going to do is install HoloIso, just for the hell of it.

Then get Cemu and BotW just to spite the community spreadsheet that only gave this thing a B for Wii U emulation, when it will clearly do it fine 😄

[dry olive]

https://tenor.com/view/heroes-thats-what-heroes-do-thor-ragnarok-thor-thats-gif-20445883

[manic siren]

Driven by the force of....just because 😄

And generally being awkward.

[untold sinew]

B is still pretty good

[manic siren]

I just think doing all games at full FPS deserves an A 😄

I think they just sort of gave it one grade less than the Steam Deck in everything. It might get changed once we see performance.

[untold sinew]

They prob grabbed the next ratings and copy pasted it

[manic siren]

Maybe. But given the emulators have improved it should be an A now 😄

I am still annoyed the RG35XX only got a B for PlayStation. Literally nothing it can't run at full fps with Garlic.

[untold sinew]

I'd assume B is all full speed

A with high res rendering

S you need sticks

At the same time, these ratings have no real meaning, only care about F

[agile crown]

Pretty much

No1 really has gone full library testing with any of these chips

[manic siren]

In which case Steam Deck shouldn't get an A for Wii U

But yes. Generally useful as a reference for how consoles compare, rather than working out the difference between b a- and a.

[unkempt violet]

Arriving on the 8th. Very speedy.

[manic siren]

It's always funny when you IGG stuff. Sometimes spend a few months waiting....and then one day it ships and arrives from the other side of the world a few days later.

[bright stratus]

this is shipping at the same rate of the air pluses we got not too long ago

good shii

[wooden narwhal]

What kind of performance can this thing push out for ps2 and switch emulation

[manic siren]

PS2...anything, and upscaled. It's x86, so it doesn't have the compatibility issues Aethers has either, as it's using different emulators. Shouldn't need a particularly high TDP either, so battery life should be good.

Switch.....is sort of more difficult to judge. X86 Yuzu is way further along than Android Yuzu, so it's more about power than compatibility.

Fewt said, with JELOS he might be able to do TotK at full FPS, but there is no guarantee the JELOS team will get a unit. If not, it'll probably do the toughest 75% or something, and do the rest with some compromises. But difficult to judge, as most things using this chip are using older versions of Yuzu.

Also all Wii U, some PS3, and a bit of Xbox/360. But a lot of those games you would be better off using the x86 versions anyway, which this will run much better than emulation.

[wooden narwhal]

I rather play ps3 on the original hardware that haha ps2,gc and switch are usually the 3 I like to play the most

[manic siren]

I mean, emulation is broadly CPU bound, and this has a better CPU than the Steam Deck. But some of it will be GPU bound on the Next Lite but not on the Steam Deck, as steam deck has a better GPU. Emulation wise, it'll be back and forth between the two, but that sort of ball park.

Remember, when this chip was in the 2021 handheld it cost more than double what the Steam deck cost 👀

[untold sinew]

back in 2021, that chip was also nearly top of the line (for mobile low-power chips)

only a year old

[manic siren]

Aye. It's funny how cost changes perception. Looks of articles from back then comparing the Ayaneo 2021 to the Steam deck and saying it's back and forth as to which the better one is.

The Next Lite has better Ergo and a better screen than the Ayaneo 2021. But because it's cheap for an x86, people keep assuming it's indies only...

[bright stratus]

No the funny part is

A new laptop comes out every single year

Ppl don't run to the stores thinking oh god 😨 my laptop just became a year old

It can't run anything anymore

I mean I guess some Mac bros do

But overall it's not something real that happens

[vale flint]

People are still pissed at retroid and the rp3+ release 😉 ok… less then a year, but no one was forced to buy the new model.

[manic siren]

To be fair....it was only a 3 month gap.

The 3 was delayed due to covid.

[untold sinew]

I mean

I wouldn't fault anyone for being mad about a sizeable upgrade released so close

it also fixed a bunch of issues that people were dealing with

[agile crown]

It was less than 3 tbh but I wouldn’t drag up past drama further rip those ppl I feel their pain.

[vale flint]

I love drama I guess 😂😇😝

[manic siren]

They did sort of try to make up for it. Selling 3+ boards so people who bought the 3 could upgrade.

And they learnt. They did the RP4 and 4 pro at the same time because of it.

[agile crown]

It’s all in the past at this point and the rp4 launch was handled much better for sure

[dry olive]

Amazing that some people are going to get their next lite this week

[bright stratus]

Literally

[zenith terrace]

Mine is arriving Wednesday

that's crazy fast

[west blaze]

The first time a handheld company actually ships in a good amount of time

[unkempt violet]

I think they expedited shipping due to Chinese New year. Otherwise, it would be two weeks and then some.

Mine is coming in Thursday.

[bright stratus]

Nah the air plus a month or two ago also shipped in like a week

When it's not igg it's good to go

Bc they aren't bound by the obligations to pay and fix up any issues rendered with indiegogo

[zenith terrace]

I don't understand why they don't just skip IGG

[dry olive]

I agree. Store only from now on. IGG is just too slow of a process and that tipping crap is very shady.

[zealous raven]

Agree, but then i remember Loki launch 🤦‍♂️

Sometimes IGG is easier 😂😅

[untold sinew]

IGG is nice when it's not order-to-ship

[manic siren]

Yeah, I dislike the uncertainty of IGG. Order and receive the item....at some point. Which isn't really the way IGG HAS to be. It's just the way it tends to be used.

[vale flint]

Aya has generally shipped quite smoothly for the non-IGG stuff. In December I ordered a couple of devices and they all arrived in about a week…

[bright stratus]

Igg shows live interest and helps also with sales alot of ppl fomo into copping a bigger sku if they see that's what is being bought

You can't see any metrics on other platforms like that

Plus igg is a legitimate platform that people more or less trust

Ordering from random Shopify page for some ppl is deterrent and sus

[wraith abyss]

Hey you too! Awesome

[vernal jackal]

Trusting IGG is a mistake in and of itself

[floral crane]

I've tipped them hundreds of dollars what do you mean they can't be trusted /s

[zenith terrace]

🤣🤣

[limpid beacon]

IGG is as good as the company using it. Which is to say it could be great or awful.

[manic siren]

IGG is like a super power. Some people will act appropriately with it. Others will not.

[bright stratus]

I agree igg literally is for supporters of any given cause or company tbh

If Aya was scummy they could literally just not ship 🚢

When you sign up for a campaign and pay smth there's literally a bulletin that says they're not obligated and it doesn't assure you a product will be sent etc

It's moreso a charitable donation

And if happen to receive smth bc of that then you do otherwise oh well kinda thing

[dry olive]

IGG is not a store. You are donating to a perk with the IGG contract stating you may not get that perk at all.

[bright stratus]

Yeh exactly 💯 is just a charitable donation that get rewarded or not based on company

[zealous raven]

https://youtu.be/s4jCBV0xMl4?feature=shared

[manic siren]

tldw

Palworld - 1 hour 30 minutes battery at about 30fps on low image quality at uncapped TDP.
Baldurs Gate 3 - 1 hour 15 mins battery at about 30FPS on low image quality and FSR at 25 TDP.
Cyber Punk - 1 hour 15 mins of battery at 30 FPS locked on low image quality and FSR at 25 TDP.
Forza Horizon 5 - on low image quality 50 FPS at 25 TDP, or 40 FPS at 15 TDP, or 30 FPS at 12 TDP (2 hour battery life at 12 TDP)
Titanfall - 2 hours battery life on default image quality 60 FPS at 15 TDP.
Deadcells - 3 hours 30 mins of battery life at 60 FPS and 7 TDP.

So, TDP round up -

25 TDP - Cyber Punk - 1 hour 15 mins battery life
15 TDP - Titanfall - 2 hours battery life
7 TDP - Deadcells - 3 hours 30 mins battery life.

That seems pretty good to me.

[vale flint]

👍 … reasonable - but Cyberpunk results are a bit weird (low) as I remember it running better (especially with FSR) on my og 2021 aya. But probably depends on which FSR he was using…

[manic siren]

Take it for what it is really. The results of a reviewer using default windows and not fiddling with settings, after having the unit for a day and making a video in that time.

So, basically, this is worst case scenario.

[manic siren]

Mine is in Hong Kong

[manic siren]

RH being positive about the Next Lite 👍

They talked about it, and NO-ONE MENTIONED THE STEAM DECK OR Z1 ALLY!!! It's just talked about like another handheld on it's own terms, not compared to more expensive stuff. Well done them.

Skipped to the right bit.

https://www.youtube.com/live/4ge9rxtGWNU?si=oiAZ8qlUViCbwTUf&t=860

[haughty lagoon]

i like how he BITES the case open

1 hour 30 min. in Palworld at 25w. EH..... probably runs better in potato mode, which is how you run it on a 2400ge/vega11 in linux. it can only support low/medium graphics at 50w in windows

like, for me, 480p/30fps/potato-mod gets me a little over 2 hours on the win600. if i use rivatuner, it goes a bit farther

[limpid beacon]

480p 30fps... why even bother...

lol

[haughty lagoon]

Johnny on Flame does the same stuff with his. Playing Stray at 480p with a modded ini and whatnot. It's how I play biomutant at 15w

it's a weird double standard though, innit? People cope with 20fps n64 games and 30fps nds/3ds games rendered at sub 480p, but suddenly they turn up their noses to the thought of pc games at that res

[limpid beacon]

Well, those games were played on a CRT back in the day, and generally I don't like playing those old 3d games on a large screen without upscaling, either.

n64 at native res on a 3.5" screen is ok, but not on a 7" handheld, for me.

As far as fps, well I guess there's a difference between games locked at a FPS vs games that can run higher. Games are also designed with different target resolutions in mind.

So, I mean I get where you're coming from, but it's not quite the same, IMO

I mean I guess if it was my only option... maybe I am spoiled for choice.

But how many here are buying a win600 or ayaneo next as their only device?

[haughty lagoon]

win600 has run its coarse, imo.

unless anbernic lowers the price, it's just not a good option for people.

[manic siren]

Yeah, it's very much a video of a person who's just got it and made a video in a day.

Gains to be made. Just running it on linux might help.

[haughty lagoon]

on the iris 80cu gpu, maybe. amd linux drivers are kinda screwy. like... in ubuntu, my 3400g can't render SOCOM for psp properly or run palworld on low graphics beyond 10fps

[manic siren]

Me. Well, only x86.

I want the option of Wii U/PC games, but I'm not desperate for it.

A budget handheld like this fits my use case well. Wanting it, but not wanting to pay Steam Deck prices.

[limpid beacon]

I guess I've always had a PC as well with a decent GPU as long as I can remember. So buying a device that barely scrapes by at (modern) games just doesn't do it for me. But everyone is different.

[manic siren]

They'll start arriving at peoples houses tomorrow, so we'll see soon 😄

[manic siren]

The next lite far exceeds my laptops specs.

Laptops are just for work and browsing and stuff for me. I don't have a PC.

[limpid beacon]

Yeah, I grew up with PC gaming so, different audience

[manic siren]

Honestly, I think a lot of people buying this will be in a similar situation. Never really dived into PC games, and the cost of entry was just a bit much.

[limpid beacon]

Also let me clarify what I was saying earlier... if you are buying the next lite to play emulation and older pc titles, then by all means, it totally makes sense. I was targeting buying to run new games at 480p/10fps lol.

[manic siren]

I get you. It's not my use case either, but I'm not convinced the games from 2024 are massively better than the games from 2021, so not really bothered about pushing framerates. Online gaming has never been my thing.

But if someone wants to tinker, or if they really want to play Starfield on potato settings at 20 FPS or whatever, and this is all they can afford, that's cool, I don't judge.

[limpid beacon]

Right

I mean I'm hacking a $30 business teleconference device to play emulation, so... I really shouldn't be speaking

[agile crown]

Gotta play upscaled smash

[limpid beacon]

When there's a steam deck OLED sitting next to it on the desk

[manic siren]

I mean I watch people buying expensive android consoles and battling with Switch games glitches and saving loads to beat the crashes, and I don't get that either. But people pay a lot of money for that experience.

Some people just want to push stuff.

[limpid beacon]

Yeah, I've decided to not bother with switch on android.

[manic siren]

Wise. There is no rush.

[limpid beacon]

I picked up a switch lite for $100 which does a much better job

[manic siren]

If I could get it for that price, I would be right there with you.

[limpid beacon]

Yeah, sadly there isn't as cheap of an option for the other continent folks.

[manic siren]

I mean, minus TotK and a few others, the Steam Deck should handle most of it, right?

[limpid beacon]

I haven't even tried since early days of LCD deck. I did a fair amount on the ally when I had it.

But there are still games with issues here and there

[manic siren]

Even TotK, the steamdeck can't lock 20 FPS, but neither can the switch 😄

[limpid beacon]

TotK I played streamed from my desktop with RTX 4070 lol brute force

[manic siren]

Probably for the best the switch 2 is coming.

We are getting close to when a lot of Switch games will be upscaled in docked mode on handhelds, and that's just embarassing for Nintendo.

[limpid beacon]

Ally pretty much does all docked switch

or any 7840u

[manic siren]

Aye, I mean docked mode and 2x res

[limpid beacon]

Switch 2 this year, hopefully...

[patent osprey]

i hope it will be emulatable in a few years

[manic siren]

If it really is not even PS4 power (likely), then...maybe.

Whether that makes it to Android as quickly is another matter.

Yuzu started on PC in jan 2018. Android it landed mid last year.

[haughty lagoon]

Next Lite is best at 7th Gen(xbox360 era) and under tbh. it can do higher, but will never hold 60fps on anything but 2d indies and some switch crossplay ports. To some people, not not reaching 60 means it can't play a game at all. it is what it is.

I'm old. i started gaming on the Apple 2, so it doesn't matter much to me so long as a game can be played

[manic siren]

I grew up with Playstation and N64 and stuff. 20 was a dream on those in some games.

I don't fancy going back to 10-15 FPS. But above 20 is sort of fine to me really.

[haughty lagoon]

Like, i've gotten a decent bit into Wigmund on the win600. It's a current gen party action rpg that struggles to reach 30, but is still pretty fun

[manic siren]

I imagine a AAA from 2020 that can play on medium settings is a better time than a 2023 game on potato settings, so I'm not fussed on the latest games. But frame rate per se isn't an issue. More just that I don't think games from 2023 are really any better than games from 2020.

[manic siren]

Yeah, it's game dependent as well. Fighting games on low FPS are more of a struggle than RPG's 😄

[haughty lagoon]

i'm sure there were people who looked at my video on Vermintide and thought "ew... it's not 60fps." lol

now you get to play it on the Next lite, and STILL not reach 60fps. 🤡

[vernal jackal]

It wasn't a good option, the day it came out

[haughty lagoon]

one might say the same for the Odin Pro, which was selling at the same time as a hybrid android/windows machine. not amazing in either, but it happened
