Ayaneo quells rumor of discontinuation of Flip series, reveals Flip 2 is coming

Following reports of the Ayaneo Flip being discontinued, the Chinese manufacturer has issued a statement clarifying the issue. It has also provided details about the future of the Flip series.

According to an update posted today (28th of February) on the Indiegogo page for the Ayaneo Flip, the manufacturer disclosed that reports saying the Flip has been discontinued are not true, no thanks to a misinterpretation of a statement from a previous update.

The said statement reportedly misinterpreted said there are currently no immediate plans to proceed with the production of the AYANEO FLIP. However, Ayaneo says what it means is that it is not starting production immediately and will do so after a while. This is in relation to a decision made last year to produce more units of the device following continuous demand.

Ayaneo says there's still no date for when production will resume as production is dependent on the flexible coordination with its supply chain. However, it says it will produce several hundred additional Ayaneo Flip units within the next three months. These units will be available globally via official channels. Ayaneo also claims it has shipped 98% of Flip crowdfunding orders with only 18 remaining.

The new update also revealed that the Ayaneo Flip won't be a single-generation device as the series will continue. Ayaneo says future iterations will have the same iconic design but with upgraded hardware performance and new features.

Ayaneo is also assuring owners of the Flip that it will provide indefinitely after-sales service and technical support for the Flip. It is also committing to transparent communication via its official website, social media channels, and Indiegogo posts.
