Last week, AyaNeo announced that they are preparing a new console with an OLED screen. It would be a much smaller, thinner and lighter design than the AyaNeo NEXT series, which debuted in January this year. Although this device was announced along with the AMD Ryzen 6000 series codenamed “Rembrandt”, the company chose Ryzen 7 5800 “Cezanne” and later Ryzen 7 5825U “Barcelo” APUs instead, both based on Zen3 architecture and Vega graphics.
Members of the tech media and influencers have now received new information about the upcoming OLED console, including new photos and introductory specifications. The device is set to weigh less than 500g and will have a 6-inch OLED screen. Unfortunately, it looks like the console will use the Ryzen 5000 APU, which means no RDNA2 graphics like Valve’s Steam Deck. The CEO of AyaNeo confirmed the lack of RDNA2 graphics on the official discord channel.
Given the size of this new console and rumors of being limited to 12W, this means that the device could make use of the Ryzen 3 5400U or 5425U, as speculated by Cary Golomb. Both of these APUs are based on Zen3 microarchitecture and AMD Vega graphics. These are quad-core APUs with core clocks up to 4.1 GHz and 6 Vega Compute Units operating up to 1.9 GHz.

If you are wondering about the actual game performance of the console, JamesCJ has some screenshots showing four games such as GTA5 or Forza Horizon 5. The game settings are unknown:

The console is set to be announced in May this year. AyaNeo has previously confirmed that it will launch a Ryzen 6000 console this year, but that was obviously not expected so soon. In terms of pricing, the AyaNeo OLED should be more affordable than the AyaNeo Next, but it certainly will not be as cheap as the Steam Deck. Therefore, Valve’s console will remain the only such device available at a price below $ 400 and with RDNA2 graphics.
