The AYN Odin 3 is getting another price hike, but you can avoid it by acting fast

The AYN Odin 3 is the most powerful Android handheld on the market right now, making it ideal for cutting-edge emulation and other demanding games. It’s already seen price hikes this year due to the RAM crisis, but we’ve now got more bad news.

AYN announced on Discord that it’ll be raising the price of the Odin 3 once again. These price hikes vary from $20 to $30. Check out the new prices below.

• 8GB/128GB AYN Odin 3 Base: $369 (was $349)
• 12GB/256GB AYN Odin 3 Pro: $469 (was $449)
• 16GB/512GB AYN Odin 3 Max: $529 (was $499)

These price hikes go live from September 1, so you still have some time to buy the handheld at the current prices. This isn’t the first time AYN has raised Odin 3 pricing, though. The handheld received price hikes in March, going from $329/$399/$449 to $339/$439/$489. We then got a $10 price increase across all three models in June.

Needless to say, the AI-induced RAM crisis can’t end soon enough. But you’re still getting a compelling handheld if you buy the Odin 3. It packs a Dragonwing Q8 chipset, which is effectively the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite without a modem. The AYN device also brings a 6-inch 120Hz OLED screen, an 8,000mAh battery, 60W charging, and Hall effect joysticks.
