A new handheld gaming system has entered the scene, as the Ayaneo Pocket S has been officially revealed.

For the design, the company says that the Pocket S introduces a borderless approach to its construction, X86-level heat dissipation capabilities, and a lightweight form factor to create a high-end gaming handheld. The console has all the standard inputs for modern gaming–face buttons, analog sticks, shoulder triggers, and a D-pad–as well as a USB-C charging port and a 3.5mm headset port. Snapdragon’s new gaming chip was unveiled this week, and the company says that this hardware offers better performance over longer gaming sessions.
The Ayaneo Pocket S could be an interesting choice for those who want to take advantage of cloud streaming and Steam Link.
