AyaNeo Flip DS Hands On First Look, This New Dual Screen Ryzen Handheld Is Crazy

[@ETAPRIME]

[@misteryamato]

Are you allowed to show any game or did ayneo give you a set list? I would like you to test a more power hungry game.

[@howdypartner8326]

I strongly disagree and much prefer the shape, size and functionality of the PSP Go. Only issue with that is it being far behind the PS Vita which itself is behind current gen consoles, making the PSP Go only good for enjoying PSP titles or emulation of older games like Pokemon Emerald. :v All Sony would have to do is make another PSP Go with modern specs and I'd buy it, even if it's 2x the price of its competitors. They seem uninterested in making legitimate portable consoles, though. Sad. :

[@Slycoomer56]

It is

[@9r33ks]

It's incredible how many different options we have nowadays on the handheld market! I love the secondary display, it's such a cool and useful feature. You killed me with playing youtube on it, it's exactly what I'd do. xD

[@AdmiralBison]

I though I was the only one that has media playing in the background while playing games, but apparently it's more common than I though. Could watch game guides while playing a game right there and then. So many things you can do.

[@9r33ks]

@@AdmiralBison Yeah, you could have some sort of guide open, when you are trying to either get an achievement, or just complete a puzzle on which you gave up. Or troubleshoot an issue you are having in the game. I love playing Fallout 4. Not the best game ever made, but I like building bases, which can be very time consuming. Having a podcast playing on the secondary screen would be so nice. xD

I want an official steam deck with this form factor. Or the T-Mobile sidekick format. One day.

[@Greidaon]

Why no one revived the Sidekick form factor, with d pads, analogs and buttons on the sides, is beyond me.

[@main_rouge]

exactly, it's always been the best form factor for portability as it protects both the screens and controls/sticks when not in use

[@Madblaster6]

You can already attach a portable screen to the current handhelds. 3D printing required in some cases.

[@ryuno2097]

i hope Valve doesn't make a SD in this form factor. It'll only make those whole like to play DS games happy.

[@rokko_fable]

He claims they're reviews. At least other tech "reviewers" occasionally pretend to be critical. This guy doesn't even try.

[@TheTopTuber]

I didn't think I would want something like this before I started watching the video. I do like reading walkthroughs when I'm playing long RPGs. That second screen would also be nice as an on-screen keyboard. It seems like having the added versatility would be nice over a dedicated keyboard on the handheld.

[@DD-no3ep]

Been waiting for this one!

[@zoiuduu]

[@kajurn791]

I actually really like this. Like having a second monitor in your handheld, with the benefits of the clamshell design. The top screen being 120hz is very nice as well.

[@ReaperTheRogue]

God the cost of those PC handhelds just make the Steam Deck look even better then it already did.

[@charlesgentry3758]

Bruh steam deck can only go up to 3.5ghz and not even 1080p display unless expensive version. And only 512gb space compared to 2tb of the ayaneo ds. Also, the new steam deck patch has bricked my steam deck.....

[@ReaperTheRogue]

@@charlesgentry3758 neither could the game boy but it's still outsole this competitor, because battery life and overall cost are more important than power.

[@ReadGameCraftCook]

These devices are more for handheld enthusiasts or people who want to do more than the Steam Deck is capable of. If not enough people wanted them they wouldn’t exist. Steam Decks are sold at a loss.

[@sjneow]

Well the base Steam Deck has a very small storage. You can fit like two modern AAA games. A much suitable comparison would be the top spec Steam Deck. But even at the current stage the Steam Deck is very behind on specs.

[@ReaperTheRogue]

@@sjneow like every other handheld on the market right now the internal SSD is replaceable with the addition of the microSD card slot, so complain about storage is honestly just stupid. And as I mentioned in a comment above about the gameboy out selling its competitor despite being underpowered, power alone does not sell a device to the masses, it's battery life and overall cost as even as it stands now steam hardware survey less than 18% of CPUs past 3.3 GHz and about 60% of the primary display resolution is still 1080p.

[@misteryamato]

Too bad you don't criticize products and have the viewers find more info about it. Your channel would be a lot better if you show the cons of products and make your viewer base aware instead of just advertising products. Edit: seems like people aren't understanding that I mean his channel in general notice how I said product*s*.

[@fastshuther]

This! I like his quick transitioning, but you can tell he's a sellout, never includes the cons, while owning all of them, crazy to me tbh, but best quick interviews for sure, like you said though he does need to start including the cons, no excuses for it and I'm not the one to accept them

[@battman505]

Big facts. He’s a major shill compared to taki or the phawx.

[@zb8725]

Yeah, most of these “reviewers” will never say a bad thing as they won’t get sent more devices. AyaNeo makes poor quality products that don’t last and are not supported with updates etc. They just keep flooding the market with new products.

[@davik9003]

Linus already fills that void nicely I think lmao

[@misteryamato]

@@fastshuther I wouldn't say he's a sellout as much but obviously he isn't reviewing products he's showcasing features at this point. I would like reviews from him because this is the only channel that actually does tech handhelds and other stuff.

I'm very mixed. I own a 3ds with over 120 physical games. I would only buy this to maybe upscale them, or maybe use it for romhacks. But then you gotta wonder if its really worth $300 more than a steam deck(lcd). Tech like this is really neat, but it's so expensive for what it is.

[@chrislaustin]

Now with the major players entering the handheld PC space, these gimmicks is all companies like AyaNeo has left to draw in the buyers. As they can't compete on the value the other companies can, so they need to offer things that might appeal to a wider audience. They won't sell at the numbers of an ASUS, but they will keep enough gamers interested who might want the more unique options of something like this. For me personally, yeah, Steam Deck all the way, but this is interesting for sure.

[@MuhammadRifana]

this handheld is perfect. you can play ton of 3ds (perfect screen position ) and other emulator to. with small formfactor but 7 inch screen. and 780m GPU is perfect for emulator and some pc games.

[@Saif0412]

Yeah you can play 3DS games great on this but you could run AAA PC games well too. 👌🏽

[@XVa-uj8m]

Frankly it infuriates me if you want more RAM you get the larger SSD foisted on you. Not like you can just upgrade the RAM, If they had a 516 GB+32 GB. RAM tier I would feel much differently so in the $800 range instead of $900 and over.

Hopefully there will be an AyaNeo Slide Dual Screen in the future as well. Duals or folding screens might end up becoming a standard for future handheld gaming pcs. Lots of use cases with having more than one full screen.

No regrets about pre ordering this. Very excited.

[@Ricelord4]

Amazing... The subnotebook/handheld PC has come back with a roar. Sony tried something like this in the early 2000s with the PCG-U1 and U3 models in Japan, but they didn't do so well. But now we have APUs that are so powerful that they can easily do this. What a time to be alive lol

[@OhMyGardeniaa]

This looks super cool! A lot of the new wave of handheld devices look the same. Not this one though. This is a true successor to the DS and 3DS

That is actually a really beautiful and impressive device. I love the 3ds, I love the Switch but the 3ds was so amazing, the feel of it was perfect. I feel like although the Switch is superior the 3ds was just neglected and they could have done so much more with it. Really interested in this device. I have kind of gotten burnt out on all these new devices, but this one looks special, I might pass up my future Retroid purchase with this depending on how it does.

[@DienerNoUta]

x2 I decided to just wait to the next year to buy a new handheld pc when AMD releas 9000s (I'm using a one with 6000s series)

[@AdmiralBison]

These are PCs, so there will be new chips coming out nearly every year. If not from AMD, then from Intel (if you are interested, personally I'm not) and potentially Nvidia and Arm. Handheld Gaming PCs are here to stay and can only get more advanced, innovative and powerful.

For me this just makes me excited for the likes of Anbernic eventually bringing out far more affordable devices in this style that can run 3DS and Wii U titles but aren’t made for higher end PC titles so are more affordable.

Some manufacturers might want to consider it as an option. I really dislike the opening line of the description "Unleash the future of handheld gaming with the AYANEO Flip DS! ". This comes across as a company advertising statement, rather than in independent review, so I watched with great scepticism.
