A popular YouTuber has previewed the upcoming GPD Win Mini Ultra ahead of its full launch. Featuring a larger VRR display than existing models, the Win Mini Ultra is also said to offer 'awesome' performance thanks to Intel's Arc B390 graphics.

It seems that GPD is on the verge of officially launching its next Win Mini gaming handheld. Also classified as an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), the Win Mini series currently tops out at the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with a Radeon 890M iGPU (curr. $1,922 on Amazon).

However, the company teased last month that the Win Mini 2025 would soon be replaced by the Intel Arc G3 Extreme-backed Win Mini Ultra. Now, Cary Golomb has shared hands-on pictures of GPD's new Win Mini ahead of its official announcement. Not only that, but Retro Game Corps indicates that GPD is sending out Win Mini Ultra units en masse to reviewers.

For the time being, GPD has yet to reveal official hardware specifications. Nonetheless, Golomb has confirmed that the Win Mini Ultra contains an IPS display with variable refresh rate (VRR) support. Additionally, his photos reveal a taller, wider and thicker device to accommodate a larger display and a revised keyboard.

Based on a recent leak, the Win Mini Ultra contains an 8-inch display within an 182.5 x 133 x 30 mm and 845 g housing. Moreover, Golomb claims that the Arc G3 Extreme offers 'awesome' performance. According to our benchmarks, Intel's processor should provide the Win Mini Ultra with over 50% faster in-game performance than the Win Mini 2025. GPD has not indicated yet when it will officially reveal the Win Mini Ultra, nor how much its new handheld will cost.
