Another day brings more updates about the AYN Thor. After the previous day’s details on its processor and display specifications, the company has now disclosed the prices for the upcoming dual-screen gaming handheld along with the available color choices.
Processor Variants and Pricing
AYN has previously announced that the Thor will come in two processor options — one featuring the Snapdragon 865 and another utilizing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, much like the AYN Odin 2 (which offers a 12+256GB model on Amazon for $379). Thus, it’s expected that the price will differ depending on the processor chosen.
The AYN Thor will start at an early bird price of $249 (with a retail price of $259) for the base model that includes a Snapdragon 865 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. There is also a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 version available with the same RAM and storage, priced at $299 during the early bird phase, with a final retail price of $309.
Additional Options and Features
Furthermore, there will be an option featuring 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage, utilizing the same processor, priced at $349 (retail price of $359). The highest tier will be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 version with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, retailing for $429 (final price of $459).
Along with the pricing details, AYN has announced that the AYN Thor will come in three colors: Black, Rainbow (White), and Clear Purple. The renders of these colors indicate that the Rainbow version features colored ABXY buttons; however, AYN mentions that the final button colors will be determined by community feedback.
Comfort and Ergonomics
The AYN Thor will also come equipped with a TPU Grip designed for a more comfortable gaming experience. It remains unclear whether this grip will be available in colors that correspond with the handheld or if it will only come in black, as shown in the image above.
AYN has been making strides in the gaming handheld market, and these details provide an interesting glimpse into what consumers can expect from the AYN Thor.
