AYN is teasing the Loki Mini model powered by an Intel Alder Lake processor as the most affordable Windows handheld device so far. The Loki Mini Windows handheld bears a close semblance with the recently unveiled AYANEO Air Windows handheld console. Processor specs and pricing details have been leaked for the device via a tweet by Cary Golomb.AYN Loki

As per the tweet, the Loki Mini has a storage capacity of 64GB with a rumored price tag of $299. There are four more models in the Loki lineup which are pricier than the Mini. They all feature AMD APUs and RDNA2 iGPU. They also offer an expanded storage capacity and some additional features.

The teaser shows that the new Loki Mini sports a similar design to previous Odin models. Hong Kong-based AYN is a handheld console manufacturer and released the Odin model last year. The ARM-based model which runs on Android was launched via a crowdfunding campaign last year. Full specs of the Loki models are still in bits at this time. The tipsters are however hinting that AYN could refresh the processors that will be present in the new model. The new AMD Mendocino processors will likely replace the current Qualcomm or MediaTek SoCs in previous models.

Up to 8GB of RAM could be available in the new Loki models with up to 128GB of storage. Connectivity will likely be through Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6, USB-C 3.1, and an audio jack. The device could also come with an HDMI port and a MicroSD slot for expandable storage. The Odin model had a 5,000mAh battery, but it remains to be seen whether this could be increased in the Loki lineup. We also expect some improvements from the screen set up in terms of resolution, while the screen size may be maintained.

As with the Odin models, AYN could introduce a crowdfunding campaign for the Loki devices. Pricing will also be made to be competitive with the previous Odin offerings. We could thus see more teasers ahead of a potential launch of the Loki handhelds.
