The AYANEO Flip clamshell gaming handheld device is set to be released this December. The FLIP comes with a revised design from its previous teaser presented in September 2023. The gaming device has tweaked keyboards and gamepads from the one teased earlier.

The AYANEO FLIP is the brand’s first clamshell gaming handheld and it was first announced last month. It was stated then that the device would have a D-pad similar to what is present in the Xbox 360. However, the new model has omitted the D-pad in place of a conventional design with a simple layout. The newer D-pad architecture provides more precise inputs than the earlier spec. The spacing between the gamepad buttons has also been increased in the FLIP. This delivers improved ergonomics in addition to the reduced keycaps in the device.

The AYANEO FLIP retains the look of a floating display with its centrally mounted hinge. The hinge mechanism is however wider while other elements are unchanged. The FLIP has a 7-inch, 120Hz IPS panel and will be powered by the AMD Ryzen 7040U APUs. The top APU in the lineup is likely to be the AMD Ryzen 7840U.

The revised AYANEO FLIP is expected to arrive before the end of 2023. The specific release optics has not been released although the model may be in a race against time to meet the release deadline. AYANEO has not provided any pricing details of the FLIP yet but this could be released shortly.
