AYANEO FLIP 1S DS Levels Up Portable Gaming and Productivity

AYANEO is back at it again, and this time they’re bringing a fresh twist to handheld gaming. Known for pushing boundaries with its compact Windows gaming devices, AYANEO has officially introduced the FLIP 1S DS, a powerful dual-screen handheld that’s more than just an upgrade; it’s a love letter to both gamers and multitaskers.

Instead of settling for incremental improvements, AYANEO reimagined what a handheld could do. This isn’t just about playing AAA titles on the go. The FLIP 1S DS blends serious performance, futuristic design, and actual utility into a sleek, flip-style form factor that makes it feel both nostalgic and new.

A Display That Delivers

The main screen of the FLIP 1S DS is a 7-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 1080P, clocking in a refresh rate of 144Hz. It’s crisp, smooth, and surprisingly bright, up to 800 nits. That means your visuals stay stunning whether you're in a dark room or outdoors. The screen's responsiveness is great for high-speed gaming, while its OLED quality brings out rich colors and deep blacks.

But the real head-turner? The second screen.

The Power of Two

The FLIP 1S DS isn’t just about raw performance. Its standout feature is the 4.5-inch secondary screen sitting just above the controls. It’s more than a gimmick, it’s actually useful. With a resolution of 1620x1080 and a 3:2 aspect ratio, this IPS display is perfect for retro gaming, multitasking, and even running AI tools. Think checking guides, monitoring stats, or managing your system settings without ever leaving your game.

The integration between the two screens is tight, and with AYASpace 3.0 onboard, managing them is even more intuitive. The software lets you tweak settings, access quick functions, and even pause apps similarly to how consoles suspend games. It’s like having a smart assistant baked into your handheld.

Built for Speed and Intelligence

Powering this dual-display beast is AMD’s latest Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chip. It doesn’t just handle heavy games, it thrives on them. Plus, thanks to its built-in AI engine, the device offers better power management, making sure performance and battery life go hand in hand.

And since powerful chips can get hot, AYANEO has built a robust cooling system. With both a vapor chamber and active fan, the FLIP 1S DS stays cool under pressure, whether you're gaming for hours or juggling multiple apps.

Design That’s Minimal, Yet Premium

The FLIP 1S DS is built to impress. Its CNC-machined metal top not only adds durability but gives it that premium finish you expect from a flagship. The flip hinge now allows multiple angle positions, making it easy to game on a table, your lap, or while connected to a keyboard and mouse.

Controls Made for Pros

AYANEO didn’t forget about the feel of gaming either. The FLIP 1S features high-precision TMR electromagnetic joysticks with zero dead zones and a 1000Hz polling rate. That means better accuracy, faster input, and no drift, ideal for competitive players. The button layout has also been refined, offering deeper presses, better feedback, and improved rhythm during gameplay.

More Than a Gaming Device

What sets the FLIP 1S DS apart is how versatile it is. With dual USB4 ports, connecting peripherals is seamless. Whether you’re gaming on a monitor, using it as a secondary work machine, or multitasking across both screens, this device adapts easily.

The new AYASpace 3.0 software ties everything together, making this more than a cool gadget. It’s an actual productivity tool, wrapped in a sleek, console-like experience.

AYANEO’s FLIP 1S DS isn’t just for gamers. It’s for anyone who wants power, flexibility, and portability in one smart, stylish package. Whether you’re grinding through Elden Ring or managing tasks on the fly, this handheld is built to keep up.
