Before Steam Deck was released, there was a big gap in the handheld console. When Steam gets its hands on this niche area, its competitors continue to increase. New competitors are coming quickly to Valve’s handheld console, and while Steam Deck remains one of the most powerful devices in this category, we haven’t seen strong competitors very often. But that seems to be changing.
AOKZOE A1 is powered by AMD 6800U APU processor
The upcoming AOKZOE A1 seems to surpass the Steam Deck in terms of performance, as it is equipped with the powerful AMD 6800U APU processor. At this point, AOKZOE seems intent on making its name known. The AOKZOE A1, which has a 1920×1200 8-inch screen with a pixel density of 283 PPI, is claimed to be able to run Forza Horizon 5 above 100 FPS thanks to its 680M graphics chip. At this point it is worth saying that it has not yet been specified whether the screen Hz value will be higher than 60 or not.
AOKZOE has yet to announce the price range of the A1, but says the device will come with at least two different SKUs (SKUs). The A1 Ultimate will have a 65Wh battery and will be heavier than the base model’s 48Wh battery. Some versions of the A1 have 16 GB of RAM, while others will come with 32 GB, and it’s not clear which models between the A1 and A1 Ultimate will have this distinction. AOKZOE A1 will have all the features and competencies that handheld console gamers for PC have enjoyed so far.

For example, gyroscopic targeting and linear trigger are important examples. The manufacturer also states that it is taking into account the issue of fast charging. While Steam Deck will have Windows support later, AOKZOE A1 will have Windows and SteamOS support from day one.
While it’s clear that the AOKZOE A1 will be an extremely powerful device, it’s a wonder if Valve’s Steam Deck will be overshadowed by these devices in the future. Predictions are that the next Steam Deck will have RDNA 3 technology. The fact that Steam Deck has RDNA 3 technology will allow it to be one step ahead of all other competitors, including the upcoming AOKZOE A1.
AOKZOE A1 launches in July 2022.
