Ayaneo Flip 1S Teased: Dual Display Clamshell Redefined

Key Takeaways

1. Ayaneo is set to release the Flip 1S, a new handheld Windows gaming device.
2. The company is focusing on updating the Flip DS model, not replacing both the Flip DS and Flip KB.
3. The Flip 1S DS will feature a ‘CNC full metal A-side’ for a premium design upgrade.
4. Specific details about the Flip 1S are limited, but it is expected to provide a better experience than previous models.
5. The Flip 1S DS may have a higher price tag compared to earlier Flip series devices, which started at $699.

Ayaneo has recently revealed exciting information about the Flip 1S, which looks like it will be the next handheld device for Windows gaming from the company. Recently, Ayaneo has been concentrating on its Android gaming handhelds, releasing devices such as the Pocket Ace, Pocket Micro Classic, and Pocket S2. Alongside these, they launched the Ayaneo 3, featuring the optional AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a chip that is also used in competing gaming handhelds such as the OneXFly F1 Pro (currently priced at $1,439.95 on Amazon).

New Developments in the Flip Line

Just last week, Ayaneo hinted that the Flip 1S is on its way, presenting a revamped version of the model they reviewed the previous year. At first, it wasn’t clear if Ayaneo intended to replace both the Flip DS and Flip KB or just one of them. However, the company has indicated that only the Flip DS is being updated, as they have not mentioned a new KB model in their recent teasers.

Features of the Flip 1S

Instead, Ayaneo has indicated that they are developing the Flip 1S DS, where ‘DS’ stands for ‘dual screen’. Although specific details are limited at this time, the company has shared that the device will feature a ‘CNC full metal A-side’, a noticeable upgrade from the all-plastic design of the Flip DS and Flip KB. The wording in the teasers below suggests that the Flip 1S DS will offer a more premium experience than earlier models. Consequently, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Flip 1S DS comes with a higher price tag compared to the Flip series, which was priced starting at $699 on Indiegogo last year.
