Gaming handheld manufacturer AYANEO is reportedly working on a clamshell design handheld called the AYANEO Flip. Now, we have new images of the handheld, which reveals two variants of the device—the Flip KB with a full keyboard and the Flip DS with a dual-screen design.

The AYANEO Flip KB with keyboard features a conventional design with a simple layout. It is the company’s first Windows gaming handheld featuring a flip-out full keyboard design. The AYANEO Flip DS, on the other hand, is more intriguing.

It swaps the six-row keyboard for a small secondary display, giving it a resemblance to the Nintendo 3DS. However, as expected, the Flip DS will be able to run Windows and play the best PC games as well as emulators.

The secondary display on the Flip DS could prove useful for emulating Nintendo games that take advantage of two displays. Alternatively, users should also be able to use its as a large trackpad. However, it remains to be seen how AYANEO will optimize the Flip DS for dual display usage.

Both variants of the AYANEO Flip are expected to be powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U flagship processor, coupled with the Radeon 780M integrated graphics. This is the same hardware that powers the recent AYANEO 2S gaming handheld. Additionally, the screen will allegedly be 7 inches and will be AYANEO’s first gaming handheld to support a 120Hz refresh rate.

It is not yet clear when the AYANEO Flip and Flip DS will be released or how much they will cost. However, they are both worth keeping an eye on for gamers who are looking for a new handheld gaming PC.
