- Ayaneo has announced a new portable game PC, using the Ryzen AI HX 370 processor of AMD
- The Ayaneo Flip 1S DS will have two screens like its predecessor, but with a main OLED screen
- Battery prices and specifications have not yet been announced
Although the Ayaneo Flip DS portable game PC was launched in 2024, offering a double -screen portable game experience, it took another jump with a new device – and this time, I think that may be enough to call it a largely improved spiritual successor to the Nintendo DS (or 2DS).
As reported by Videocardz, Ayaneo announced the Handheld Flip 1S DS game PC, using the powerful Ryzen AI 9 HX processor of AMD and, perhaps the most important, a main 7-inch OLED display 1920×1080 144Hz with up to 800 peak nits. It will also include a secondary LCD screen (hence the name “DS”) with a 1620×1080 resolution.
Although it may seem similar to its predecessor, the Flip DS, the upgrades are at least significant. The passage to the Ryzen AI 9 hx 370 of the previous Ryzen 7 8840U processor will be very advantageous for play performance, the first using 12 cores and 24 threads – but it is not the only strong point.
Not only is this set to carry out the desire for an experience Nintendo DS (which, if it was not already clear, DS means double screen), but it is also determined to offer an OLED visual experience; Something that the most modern PCs in portable games do not have a few.
With deeper black levels and a fantastic contrast, it is more than enough to provide ideal visual quality on a 7 -inch 1080p screen. The addition of 800 Peak Brightness Nits is only the icing on the cake for me; Add the infinite quantity of playable games through steam, epic games and other popular launchers, and it is an easy choice – well, in a way.
I say that because I expect it to cost a fortune, based on the usual pocket prices of Ayaneo. There is not yet a word on prices, but if the tastes of the Asus Rog Ally X or the Claw 8 MSI 8 AI + (which use lower processors compared to the HX 370) are greater than $ 700, then this should be enough to tell you that the Flip 1S DS will be the price of most players.
Analysis: an excellent compromise for a 7 -inch screen
Although the FLIP 1S DS does not specifically scratch my itching to want an 8 -inch that is an affordable 8 -inch pocket computer, it is certainly an excellent compromise; The one for which I am tempted to save money – but only if its price is not absolutely obscene.
I wanted a 7 -inch screen upgrade from my Asus Rog Ally for a long time, but that does not mean that the screen size is bad. Make no mistake, a 7 -inch screen for pocket computers is great and is the ideal point for most users, but can feel a little dull, especially if you play competitively.
However, the Flip 1S DS provides two screens, one of them being an OLED 1080P, and if you have read my critic Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x, you will know that I am a suction for OLED screens. The performances in the games are not a concern either, given the way in which we have seen the Ryzen AI 9 hx 370 chip occurs in other portbases Black myth: Wukong Quite well.
If Ayaneo can maintain prices between $ 800 and $ 999, I can be held and save for it, but if the price is higher, I would probably look elsewhere.
