The Evolutionary series pushes boundaries for the [Game Boy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-flip-concept) line. This time, the handheld gaming device is defined by its new screen, opening up new gaming opportunities. The Flip DS is set to launch on [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayaneo-flip-kb) and allows gamers to use the second screen to their desire. It has a custom design and due to this fact, it may not be compatible with other consoles without having to take on a special emulation. It is set to launch online next month and between the controls, there is a classic QWERTY keyboard for seamless text input and web browsing.
