Ayaneo Flip KB

Ayaneo Flip KB review - handheld console with great functionality powered by the less efficient AMD Ryzen 7 8840U

This is Ayaneo's first attempt at a clamshell design inspired by the classic Nintendo DS. The KB variant is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 8840U and comes with a bright 7-inch angle-adjustable touchscreen and mini keyboard instead of the second touchscreen. Additionally, it features excellent game controllers, future-proof port selection with USB4 and OCuLink, as well as a highly-configurable AYASpace 2.0 control center.

Verdict: elegant clamshell form-factor with midrange performance

The Flip series is Ayaneo’s first foray into handheld clamshells inspired by the classic Nintendo DS design. Unlike the Flip DS version that comes with dual touchscreens, the KB model replaces the lower screen with an RGB mini keyboard. Design-wise, the console fits neatly in the palms of your hands and all the game controllers are responsive and ergonomically placed on each side. On the display side, the IPS screen impresses with its brightness and excellent touch capabilities. Port selection offers future-proof connectors like USB4 and OCuLink plus a fast microSD card reader. AMD’s Ryzen 7 8840U CPU side might not scale too well with the 30 TDP W limit, but at least the Radeon 780M iGPU delivers decent performance. Additionally, the AYASpace 2.0 control software allows for great configurability.

As always, there are some downsides too. The first one was previously hinted at with the CPU scaling that leads to lower than average system performance, despite the relatively fast 32 DDR5X-6400 RAM and 2 TB NVMe SSD. As such, the console power efficiency is also lacking as power draw almost matches that of faster competitors. The keyboard is not really usable only with the thumbs and its left side becomes quite warm during prolonged gaming sessions that require close to full load. Even though the cooling system comes with a vapor chamber, the fan is considerably noisier than the competition in full load, but at least the fan curve can be adjusted. Last but not least, the 45 Wh battery proves to be incapable of providing a prolonged gaming experience.

Pros

+ Elegant and compact clamshell design
+ Excellent game controllers
+ Bright Display with touchscreen functionality
+ USB4 + OCuLink
+ Decent iGPU performance considering the 30 W limit
+ Fast microSD card reader
+ AYASpace 2.0 control panel

Cons

- Lower than average system performance
- Left upper side gets too warm in full load
- Keyboard not easily operable with the thumbs alone
- Console not that power efficient
- Full load fan noise above average
- Relatively short battery runtime

Ayaneo has already launched quite a few models before the Flip, mostly resembling the Steam Deck design. With Flip KB / DS, Ayaneo is exploring the popular DS clamshell design introduced two decades ago by Nintendo. The DS variant comes with dual touchscreen displays, while the KB model replaces the lower screen with a mini keyboard. Both come with the usual suite of game controllers and an ergonomic shape that fits comfortably into the palm of your hands.

Besides the 30 W AMD Ryzen 7 8840U APU complimented by 32 GB of LPDDR5X-6400 RAM and 2 TB WD NVMe SSD, some of the highlights for the Flip KB model from Ayaneo include a very bright 7-inch IPS touchscreen with 120 Hz refresh and almost full sRGB color gamut, adjustable angles for the display, responsive game controllers with Hall sensors, and RGB mini keyboard, vapor chamber cooling system and port selection with USB4 and OCuLink connectors.

Case and Connectivity: ergonomic design and fast ports

The case is entirely made of solid plastic, yet the weight is relatively lower than all the Steam Deck inspired models we have tested thus far due to the elegant clamshell design that allows the screen to open up at various adjustable angles. One notable feature is the replaceable ergonomic grips. Ayaneo offers anti-slip “Star Diamond” grips by default, but included in the package we also found anti-fingerprint “Galaxy” grips.

Port selection includes a full-feature USB4 connector that is also used for charging and so the console does not allow for charging and displaying to an external monitor at the same time on its own (Ayaneo has a separate dock for this). There is also a USB-C 3.2 gen 2 for data only transfers, as well as an OCuLink connector for specialized eGPUs and a fast microSD card reader plus an audio jack.

Input Devices

This model comes with the usual game controllers and also includes an optical finger mouse, a mini keyboard with F keys on top but without numpad and touchscreen functionality. While the d-pad, joysticks, trigger and shoulder buttons and the AYASpace interface shortcut buttons are ergonomic and can be accessed easily with average-sized hands, the small keyboard is rather hard to interact with while holding the console. A proper typing experience or more complex shortcut key combos actually require the user to lay the console down on a flat surface. Additionally, the optical finger mouse may prove glitchy especially for persons with larger thumbs. For the usual Windows tasks, the mouse functionality can be easily replaced with the responsive touchscreen.

Display: extra bright 1080p IPS touchscreen

Zoomed-in pixel matrix
Zoomed-in pixel matrix

Since this is a pre-production unit, the resolution on the display was locked at 1080p so all tests were run at  his resolution. However, this is the only issue with the display we found and Ayaneo promised to fix the problem with an update. Otherwise, this touchscreen comes with one of the brightest IPS panels we have tested on a handheld console, averaging 720 nits.

The black level is slightly raised compared to the competition, but the higher contrast helps offset this inconvenience. Backlight uniformity shows some bleeding along the left and right sides and lower corners. sRGb color reproduction is close to the maximum advertised and we managed to bring down the deltaE error under 2 with a proper calibration.

For indoor use, the glossy finish is great, yet it is not recommended for outdoor use because of pronounced glare. Viewing angles are good as well. We did not detect any PWM or flickering, and the BtW response of online 2 ms is quite impressive for this type of screen. Still, the GtG response is not that great for fast-paced shooting games.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 1 ms rise
↘ 1 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 7 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
18.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5 ms rise
↘ 13.4 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 29 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8684 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Testing Conditions

All the performance results were recorded with the Extreme profile enabled (unless otherwise stated), which sets FPS to unlimited, fans to auto and APU TDP to 30 W. The power plans are easily configurable through the AYASpace 2.0 pop-up UI accessible through a special button under the right side joystick. Many other settings can be configured on the fly, like the fan curves, game controllers, game launcher, app launcher etc.

Processor

The Flip KB is powered by the Ryzen 7 8840U APU, which can be configured to run between 3 W and 30 W TDP. It comes with 8 Ryzen 4 Cores and 16 threads that can boost to a maximum of 5.1 GHz. The APU is complemented by 32 GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM. In our synthetic CPU tests, the Flip KB does not appear to be tuned for non-gaming tasks, as it generally places last or second to last. The R7 8840U implementations we have tested so far seem to be slower than the older 7840U, which is not limited to 30 W. On a positive note, the Cinebench R15 Multi Loop shows that the performance actually increases half-way.

DPC Latency

DPC latency is somewhat high and LatencyMon suggests that real time audio is handled with difficulty. However, the latency is in line with that of a ROG Ally X equipped with a Z1 Extreme APU, but seems to be more than double over the Ryzen 7 7840U on the Ayaneo Kun.

Gaming Performance

The Flip KB manages to beat the GPD model in most games, and sometimes it even beats the MSI Claw with its Arc 8-core iGPU in more demanding games like Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate 3. Unfortunately, FSR and frame generation did not work well on the Flip KB because the early production unit had the screen resolution locked to 1080p. Ayaneo will unlock the resolution on mass-produced models. More demanding games do not hit 30 fps on ultra settings, but with FSR and FG enabled, these should see a decent boost with fps in the 30s. Older games like GTA V or Strange Brigade almost hit 60 fps on high settings.

When it comes to the influence of power profiles on the GPU performance, Balanced running at 15 W sees a ~33% decrease in performance compared to Extreme 30 W, while the Power Saver running at only 5 W sees a ~66% drop. There are no differences in performance when entering battery mode compared to powered mode.
