AYN announces another price increase for Thor and Odin 3 handhelds

AYN has announced that it has begun accepting the seventh batch and the eight batch of pre-orders for the Thor and Odin 3 handhelds, respectively. However, the announcement also comes with a planned price upgrade for the two Android gaming handhelds later this month.

This planned upward review of the prices of the two handhelds isn't the first this year since the exponential jump in the price of RAM and storage. However, AYN's price changes can be considered to be more frequent compared to rivals.

Back in April, it announced a price increase for the AYN Thor Max, which has 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. It also released a new variant with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. That announcement also came with the news that it was ditching UFS 4.0 for the cheaper UFS 3.1 storage. So not only would buyers be paying more, they would also be getting less.

Before that, it had already increased the price of the Thor and Odin 3 handhelds in March 2026, adding between $10 to $40 across the board. It is not yet known by how much the prices of the Thor and Odin 3 would increase, but AYN says the new prices will take effect once current inventory is sold. It has also revealed that the current pre-orders will ship in August and the handhelds will come with UFS 3.1 storage.

Below are the current prices for the Thor and Odin 3 ahead of the price increase:
