After previously teasing anew clamshell gaming handheld, Chinese specialist Ayaneo has revealed that there will be a second device in the range – something that looks rather familiar.
It doesn’t take a hardened Nintendo fan to point to the influence behind the Ayaneo Flip DS. That’s because, like the Japanese gaming giant’s classic portable console of a similar name, it has dual screens.
In contrast to the regular Ayaneo Flip (now named Flip KB) the alternative clamshell doesn’t feature a QWERTY keyboard. You get that second screen instead which is touch-enabled.

Liliputingclaims to have received the details via a “leak” from Ayaneo itself. It has also learned that both Flip models will have a 7-inch main display that’s capable of a 120Hz refresh rate.
As we’ve mentioned before, the Ayaneo Flip KB and DS are likely to be Windows 11 based and therefore have the potential to run Steam, Epic Games Store and Xbox Cloud Gaming. However, they’ll also run Ayaneo’s own proprietary OS on top, in the form of AyaSpace 2.0 which presents an easier to use interface to get straight to your games.
