GoKawiilTL;DR AYANEO has provided an update regarding its two upcoming Windows handhelds.
The company says it’s aiming to ship the $1,999 NEXT 2 in June.
The KONKR Fit, which was tipped to ship in April, could also ship in June.
AYANEO is one of many handheld makers affected by the RAM crisis, and it was forced to temporarily suspend pre-orders of the hyper-premium NEXT 2 Windows handheld. The crisis has also affected its KONKR Fit handheld PC, as it missed an April shipping date. The manufacturer has now issued an update regarding these two devices.
AYANEO confirmed on IndieGogo that it started production of key components for the NEXT 2. The company added that it now aims to begin trial production of the handheld in early June with mass production in mid-June.

“According to the current progress, we believe that starting shipment in June remains achievable, and we will make every possible effort to meet this target,” the company explained.
The company stopped pre-orders in March, but says it still gets queries from people wanting to purchase the handheld. AYANEO says these users can contact customer service with their desired configuration and color, but the manufacturer says it can’t actually guarantee that these customers would get a device.
