Ayaneo confirms Konkr Pocket Fit Elite will have a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and start at $269
It seems Ayaneo was waiting for AYN to announce pricing for the Odin 3 before revealing the processor and pricing details for its rival handheld, the Konkr Pocket Fit Elite. Not only has it confirmed that the Pocket Fit Elite will use the same processor, but it has also priced it lower than the Odin 3.
As speculated earlier, the Konkr Pocket Fit Elite will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which makes it the second Android handheld that will be powered by the Qualcomm chipset. Ayaneo isn't just matching the Odin 3 in terms of the choice of processor; it is also offering the Konkr Pocket Fit Elite in the same configurations.
The Konkr Pocket Fit Elite will be available in four configurations: a base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, a 12GB RAM + 256GB variant, a 16GB + 512GB variant, and a whopping 24GB RAM version with 1TB of onboard storage. As reported earlier, the Android handheld will have a MicroSD card slot for adding more storage.
Ayaneo already revealed that the Konkr Pocket Fit Elite will be available in three colors — Mystic Black, Snow White, and Dragon Yellow. However, those who purchase the base model will be limited to Mystic Black. AYN also adopted a similar strategy for the AYN Odin 3.
| Configuration | Super Early Bird Price (for 1 week only) | Early Bird Price | Retail Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8GB + 128GB | $269 | $309 | $329 |
| 12GB + 256GB | $339 | $379 | $399 |
| 16GB + 512GB | $389 | $429 | $459 |
| 24GB + 1TB | $499 | $519 | $549 |
With respect to pricing, Ayaneo has decided to also offer three price categories for the Konkr Pocket Fit Elite. As shown in the table above, there will be a super early bird price, an early bird price, and a retail price.
The base model Konkr Pocket Fit Elite starts at $269 for those who are lucky enough to grab it in the first week. In contrast, the AYN Odin 3's super early bird offer, which was available for only 48 hours, cost $299. The final retail price of $329 is also cheaper than the $349 AYN will charge for the Odin 3. In a nutshell, Ayaneo has priced its handheld to cost $20 less than the Odin 3, save for the 24GB RAM + 1TB version, which is the same for both devices. However, it is important to mention that the Odin 3 has an AMOLED display and not LCD like the Konkr Pocket Fit Elite.
The Konkr Pocket Fit Elite is available to pre-order now on Indiegogo ahead of its release in December (subject to change). As of the time of writing, the campaign has crossed its goal of $6,413 by 521%.
