AYANEO finally spilled details about their Strix Halo handheld after keeping specs locked down since launch, and the screen setup is kinda weird. The device rocks a nine-inch OLED panel running at 2400 x 1504 resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate, which creates this oddball 3:2 aspect ratio that basically nobody else uses for gaming portables.
Most competitors stick with standard 1920 x 1200 screens using 16:10 ratios, but this thing went taller instead of wider for some reason. The higher pixel count sounds cool until you realize the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip with its Radeon 8060S graphics cannot actually push modern games anywhere near that framerate ceiling, even with RDNA 3.5 architecture backing it up.
The company still has not dropped full hardware specs yet, which feels pretty ridiculous considering they announced this months back and already launched the thing.
