Ayaneo is suspending preorders for its $1,999 Next 2 gaming handheld due to the increasing cost of digital storage. The company stated that the cost of building the device nearly doubled from the original price. However, it stated that it may resume sales if storage prices return to more reasonable levels in the future. The device, which opened on February 10th, features a 9.6-inch OLED display and a base AMD processor, integrated Radeon 8050S graphics, 32GB of memory, and 1TB of SSD storage.
