AYANEO NEXT 2 Shipping Is Still on Track, But New Orders Remain Unavailable
If you were planning to snag an AYANEO NEXT 2 as your next handheld obsession, you might want to hold your breathâand maybe keep your wallet in your pocket for a moment.
The good news? If you already pre-ordered through the Indiegogo campaign, youâre still in the clear. AYANEO is aiming to kick off trial production in early June, with mass production following shortly after. The goal is to get these behemoths into hands by the end of June, provided nothing goes sideways in the factory.
The bad news? If you haven’t secured yours yet, youâre out of luck for now. Due to a messy cocktail of RAM and storage shortages (the “RAMpocalypse” is real), AYANEO isn’t taking new orders and can’t guarantee any extra production beyond what was already promised.
While you can add your name to a “want to buy” list via customer service, the window is effectively closed. With that massive 9-inch OLED screen and a battery that could power a small village, itâs temptingâbut with no way to buy one, you might want to start eyeing the competition like the GPD Win 5 instead.
