Ayaneo Flip DS leaks & it looks like the Nintendo DS successor we never had

Ayaneo, a leading manufacturer of gaming handheld devices, is allegedly working on a dual-screened system, named the Ayaneo Flip DS.

Ayaneo seems to be pulling out all of the stops when it comes to their rampant release schedule. We’ve hardly blinked since theAyaneo Pocket Airand 1S’s release, with theAyaneo Kun‘s IndieGoGo campaign currently ongoing.

But, the company is also preparing theAyaneo SlideandPocket S. Now, leaks obtained by Dexerto showcase the company’s next project, an Ayaneo Flip that comes with two distinct designs. The first is the Ayaneo Flip KB, which has a clamshell case, that flips (as the name implies) and showcases a mini keyboard. This feels like Ayaneo’s answer to the GPD line of devices, which are very popular.

What’s much more interesting, is that the other variant, an Ayaneo Flip DS, will also come to market, sporting an additional screen, and is incredibly evocative of the Nintendo DS.

The devices will allegedly launch with the AMD Ryzen 7840U chipset, which we have previously seen in theAyaneo 2SandAir 1S. The biggest difference here, however, is that the main seven-inch screen will house a rapid 120Hz display, a first for Ayaneo handhelds. Additional features such as a fingerprint scanner appear to be present on both consoles, in addition to a recessed analog stick, which appears to be incredibly similar to the one seen on theAyaneo Air lineof products.

The Ayaneo Flip DS could act like a beefed-up Wii U

The Ayaneo Flip DS looks like the much more exciting variant of the two, and is poised to sate those looking to emulate DS and 3DS titles at higher resolutions and speedy framerates.

Applications for a second screen could also extend to a truly portable Wii U emulator, too. But, the dimensions and resolution of the included display remain to be revealed. We’re eagerly keeping our ears to the ground to hear more about the device. But for now, it’s one of the more exciting leaks that we have heard about Ayaneo this year.
