Ayaneo is teasing “a mobile phone truly made for gamers”

Ayaneo is branching out from handheld consoles and mini PCs into the very crowded realm of smartphones. And, of course, it’s aiming its smartphone adventure at gamers.

The company has started teasing its first handset, which it bills as “a mobile phone truly made for gamers”. In the quick video teaser below, we can see the outline of its rear, which appears to house two camera sensors that are flush with the back cover, without any protrusions, RedMagic-style.

Aside from that, there’s not really much to go on here. “Real gamers know gamers”, Ayaneo says, and that’s surely true but there are plenty of gaming-focused phones on the market already, including from the aforementioned RedMagic. What Ayaneo can do to truly differentiate itself in this space remains to be seen. We do of course assume its device will run Android.

Ayaneo promises this project was “born from the pure love of gaming and the pursuit of dreams”. More teasers will undoubtedly follow, hopefully revealing some actual information about the device, so stay tuned. In the meantime, let us know: are you excited for an Ayaneo smartphone?
