The Next Lite aims to offer a budget-friendly alternative for those keen on a SteamOS-powered handheld gaming experience but are looking for options beyond the popular Steam Deck. While Ayaneo’s decision not to reveal the price of the Next Lite initially seems unusual, it suggests a strategic move to build anticipation. The company has already started taking subscriptions for the device, indicating strong confidence in its market appeal.
One of the key features of the Next Lite is its 7-inch 800p display, coupled with a 47W battery. The device also boasts Hall Effect joysticks, known for their precision and durability. Ayaneo’s past products have often utilized Intel and AMD CPUs along with AMD graphics, hinting at the potential power the Next Lite might hold.
In addition to its technical spec sheet, the Next Lite will be available in multiple color options, offering a personalized touch for gamers. This aspect of customization is a smart move, allowing users to express their style while enjoying their favorite games. As CES 2024 showcases various innovations like MSI’s Claw, a portable gaming PC priced at $699, it’s clear that the competition is heating up. The Next Lite’s unique position as a value-oriented, SteamOS-powered device could potentially reshape consumer choices in this evolving market.
