AYANEO Intros FLIP 1S Dual-Screen Gaming Handheld with AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

"Real Gamers, Know Gamers", AYANEO has been exploring more possibilities for game handhelds. The evolution of the handheld experience goes beyond performance and also involves breakthroughs and innovations in form. AYANEO has created the first flip dual-screen Windows handheld - AYANEO FLIP DS, making innovation within reach. With User Experience at the core, we continuously improve every creative idea and detail to present a more pure and immersive dual-screen gaming experience. Now, the new generation of flip dual-screen Windows handheld, AYANEO FLIP 1S DS, is officially unveiled. It is not only a comprehensive upgrade of the FLIP DS but also a tribute to the classic feelings. Combining hardware upgrades, AI computing power, dual-screen interactive experience, and flagship-level performance, the FLIP 1S DS is not only a flagship flip handheld but also a productivity tool that combines portability and efficiency.

The FLIP 1S DS is equipped with a fully upgraded 7-inch 1080p OLED main screen that supports a high refresh rate of 144 Hz. The maximum global brightness reaches 800 nits, and the contrast and response speed are greatly improved, bringing users a more vivid, smoother and more immersive visual experience for handheld games. Whether it is a tense and exciting FPS game or a colorful adventure in another world, this screen can present it with extremely delicate image quality and smooth dynamics, giving players an immersive visual experience.
As the first Windows handheld brand to pioneer the dual-screen clamshell form factor, AYANEO has comprehensively upgraded the secondary screen on the FLIP 1S DS. The new generation of secondary screen uses a 4.5-inch high definition IPS original color screen with a resolution of 1620 x 1080, with a brightness of 550 nits, a larger display area, and a 3:2 golden ratio suitable for retro games. It is clearer visually, more coherent between the main and secondary screens, and more convenient to operate, providing a broader stage for multitasking. Gamers can view game guides, monitor system status in real time, adjust volume parameters, and even run AI tools on the secondary screen while playing games on the main screen, achieving efficient parallelism of information and operations, and realizing real functional complementarity and intelligent linkage between the main and secondary screens.

As a native Windows extended screen, the FLIP 1S DS secondary screen offers more possibilities for multitasking and personalized play. Whether it's expanding your field of vision, providing auxiliary control, or enabling split-screen display, it can handle everything smoothly. With the support of the self-developed management software AYASpace, the functions of the secondary screen are further expanded. This secondary screen is not only fun and useful for dual-screen interaction, but also an extension and upgrade of efficiency and experience.

The FLIP 1S DS is powered by the new flagship AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor. This is a top-of-the-line chip that represents the future trend. It not only makes a significant leap in multicore performance, easily handling 3A games and high-intensity multitasking, but also has a built-in AI engine with powerful AI computing capabilities. This brings a smoother gaming experience and more efficient energy management, making the FLIP 1S DS a true "AI PC". With this CPU, the dual-screen interaction of the FLIP 1S DS is more efficient, and the intelligent interaction and immersive entertainment experience are comprehensively renewed, making it an amazing flagship flip handheld.
As the performance of handheld devices continues to soar, heat dissipation has become the key to unleashing powerful performance. The FLIP 1S DS adopts a dual heat dissipation architecture, with a large-area VC vapor chamber and an efficient active air cooling system, to build a "double insurance" heat dissipation solution. The VC vapor chamber can quickly and efficiently conduct the heat generated by the core heat source, effectively reducing local overheating. Combined with the active cooling fan, it can achieve continuous and rapid heat dissipation, ensuring that the whole machine remains stable and smooth under high load operation. Whether it is a long-term 3A game or multitask operation, the FLIP 1S DS can unleash its powerful performance.

As a flip handheld console that combines aesthetics and performance, the FLIP 1S continues AYANEO's consistent minimalist style. The overall outline of the machine is neat and pure, with simple and smooth lines, fully reflecting the restraint and tension of the brand design. For this upgrade, we introduced a CNC full-metal A surface for the FLIP 1S, which not only brings a solid structure but also injects a high-grade metallic texture into the whole machine. It has a delicate touch and a refined visual appearance, seamlessly integrating with the aesthetic style of the handheld console. The flip part has been upgraded to a stepless adjustment structure, which supports multi-angle hovering. Whether you are using it on a desktop, playing games while holding it, or working with peripherals, you can find the most suitable angle.
A good handheld experience is inseparable from a precise control system. As the first brand to introduce Hall joysticks into Windows handhelds, this time, The FLIP 1S is the first Windows handheld to feature the TMR electromagnetic middle joystick with a return rate of up to 1000hz, ultra-high precision and resolution, low power consumption and micron-level response, no dead zone and no drift. With it, players can achieve more subtle operations, which is especially suitable for high-demand game scenarios. It also has a long service life and lower power consumption, combining precise operation and durability, making the flip handheld a "micro-operation artifact".

FLIP 1S continues the standard gamepad layout familiar to players. On this basis, the button experience has been optimized and upgraded. It has a longer button stroke and just the right rebound force. The fingertip feedback is clearer and the sense of rhythm is stronger. Whether it is continuous action or precise control, it can bring a more immersive operation experience with a sense of control. This upgrade from "useful" to "fun" is not only reflected in the main buttons, but also extends to the overall interactive details. We have iteratively optimized the layout of the function keys and increased the button size at the same time, making the operation more natural, smooth and within reach. Whether it is hardcore competition or easy entertainment, FLIP 1S can bring you a truly professional, comfortable and rhythmic control feel.

The FLIP 1S DS is upgraded with dual USB4 ports, supporting high-speed data transfer and fast charging. Connect monitors, docking stations and other peripherals with ease. Whether you're gaming, multi-screening or working, enjoy a more flexible experience and unlock more scenarios.

The newly upgraded AYASpace 3.0 Smart Control brings a more convenient and intelligent handheld management experience to the FLIP 1S DS. The modern UI design combines minimalist aesthetics with intuitive interaction, making every operation a pleasure. The new "Smart Control" integrates commonly used settings for more efficient configuration. The "Snowfield" function provides a true pause experience similar to that of a game console. The new desktop layout mode improves keyboard and mouse simulation compatibility, further expanding usage scenarios. Moreover, the Quick functions are fully refreshed and returning for more convenient centralized access and smoother operation logic. AYASpace 3.0 will make the dual-screen gaming experience of the FLIP 1S DS even more intelligent and fun.

AYANEO FLIP 1S DS is a comprehensive upgrade of the dual-screen flip Windows handheld game console. It is also an innovative product that combines classic and modern elements for nostalgic players. It inherits the unique design concept of the FLIP series and has been comprehensively evolved in terms of hardware craftsmanship, interactive experience and software ecosystem, bringing more immersive dual-screen collaboration, more powerful performance release and better control experience. From gaming and entertainment, to multitasking, and then to peripheral work, the FLIP 1S DS truly enables free switching between multiple scenarios with its more coherent dual-screen design, flexible flip structure and new management software. It is AYANEO's new presentation of the dual-screen flip Windows handheld game console experience.

It's too fat, fugly, and has shit you don't need for work. And PC gaming is not a brand you want a quality device attached to. It's like saying your lead actors have herpes, it's that bac.

The three problems I have with this:

1. Top panel is still a portrait-native display, despite it being OLED
2. Because of the clamshell design, the hinges will be something to worry about over time
3. Lack of Oculink port, the previous Ayaneo Flip DS/KB had it

^^THIS^^

IF
I were into gamin (I'm NOT) this would be an auto-no-buy/deal breaker for me, what bad design choice, as the device is a landscape-oriented kit, but hey, that's nOnTendio for ya...."stupid is as stupid does" :D

Maybe they can fix this with a software/firmware update, or some 3rd party add-on app, but who knows....

No, not possible. GPD (the boutique handheld PC company) tried to do this with the GPD Win 4, by modifying the display controller's firmware to "fool" the OS into thinking it was a native landscape display, however in doing so it added a 3-frame delay and stuttering. There are fixes for those two problems (one of which requires hardware flashing a display IC), but one of those fixes makes Windows see it as a portrait-native display again, which defeats the purpose.

This may not be a big deal for most modern games that properly follow the EDID of a display panel, but it does cause issues for some overlays, like AMD's In-Game Overlay.

Example of this issue on a Lenovo Legion Go:


The best way to have a proper landscape-portrait display is to have one made, like what ASUS did with the ROG Ally and its successors, particularly that 7" 120Hz VRR 1080p Fast-IPS display and what MSI/Lenovo did with the 8" 120Hz VRR 1200p variant.
