AYN Technologies has started selling its new gaming handheld directly on its website instead of using a crowdfunding platform. Just to remind you, the company launched the Odin 3 on Indiegogo in early September, following the release of the AYN Thor less than a month prior. Interestingly, the AYN Thor has been available for sale on AYN Technologies’ website since it was first introduced.
New Features of Odin 3
The Odin 3 is an update over the Odin 2, but it does not replace the smaller Odin 2 Mini or the larger Odin 2 Portal, which is currently priced at $359 on Amazon. However, the Odin 3 is set to be more powerful than any of the Odin 2 series handhelds, as it features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset in all its versions.

Specifications and Pricing
To keep it simple, we’ve added an image below that highlights the main specifications of the device. The AYN Odin 3 starts at $329 when bought from AYN Technologies’ official website. This is a $30 increase from its initial Indiegogo launch price. This particular version comes with 8 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 128 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
Sadly, AYN Technologies reserves UFS 4.0 flash storage for its Pro, Max, and Ultra versions, which are priced at $399, $449, and $519, respectively. At this moment, AYN Technologies plans to start shipping Odin 3 pre-orders made on its website by the end of November, and customers will receive a free TPU protective case as an added bonus.
