The Ayaneo Air Plus is the next would-be Steam Deck killer

The Air Plus isn’t quite a straight processor upgrade from the Air Pro — there’s also a larger battery , along with a new 6-inch 1080p display. There are also some other minor cosmetic tweaks that put the power button and headphone jack on the left and right respectively - the inverse of the models before them. The Plus is also about half an inch wider than the original Air and Air Pro, which means if you had a case for one of those, it won’t fit the new model, sorry.

It’s a shame that it’s not an OLED panel like the one on the Air Pro, but the larger size more than makes up for it, and it’s nice and bright with a decent contrast ratio and color reproduction. Side by side with the equally-sized display on theI’ve been chipping away atfor too long now, but having the chance to bring it with me on my travels with the Air Plus has exponentially increased my play time.

So yeah, that’s not a fantastic outlook for more demanding games on higher settings, but with a few minor concessions you can still have a great experience, one that will see you through a good chunk of a flight or kill a lazy afternoon without having to hangout near an outlet.
