"AYANEO Next Lite: The First SteamOS Handheld Competitor"
Ayaneo has announced its upcoming handheld gaming PC, the Next Lite, which will be the first non-Valve device to come preinstalled with SteamOS. The device features a seven-inch 800p screen, a 47Wh battery, and Hall effect joysticks, but details about its performance and pricing are still scarce. The company is set to open "subscriptions" for the handheld on January 11th, hinting at a different pricing approach. This release marks a potential competitor to Valve's Steam Deck, with the possibility of offering a cost-effective alternative in the handheld gaming market.
