The options are 16GB RAM+ 512GB storage, 32GB + 1TB, 32GB + 2TB and 32GB + 4TB. The AMD Ryzen 7 series APU of the model provides a decent performance boost.

AYA NEO Air 1S may soon launch as a ASUS ROG Ally rival with Ryzen 7 7840U

Sean — Wed, 05 Jul 2023 11:17:04 +0000

AYA NEO is gearing up for a new handheld gaming console launch. The company had recently unveiled the AYA NEO 2S, and now, the new Air 1S model is set to be released soon. With its specs, we can assume that this model could take on even the ASUS ROG Ally.

AYA NEO Air 1S specifications

The Air 1S model will arrive as a mid cycle refresh, which features the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. In other words, the upcoming handheld console will feature Zen 4 CPU cores that will be paired with an RDNA 3 based integrated graphics and LPDDR5X RAM. In terms of performance, this chip has been seen outperforming the Ryzen Z1 series chipset, which is the APU that powers the ASUS ROG Ally. Meaning, the upcoming Air 1S model could compete with the ROG Ally in the handheld market.

This processor will be paired with LPDDR5X memory. The Air 1S will house an upgraded cooling system and a new stereo speaker setup. Furthermore, the handheld console sports a 5.5 inch AMOLED display, which outputs natively at 1080p resolution and 350 nits of peak brightness. This panel has a 16:9 aspect ratio and 99 percent DCI P3 color gamut.

The Air 1S offers the full suite of joysticks and triggers that are accompanied by an x-axis linear motor. Under the hood, a 38Wh battery pack powers the device. Unfortunately, the company has yet to officially confirm the launch date for this particular model. So stick around for more updates regarding this console.
