TL;DR
- AYN has announced earlier-than-planned price hikes for its Thor and Odin 3 gaming handhelds.
- In some cases, consumers will pay $40 more for their preferred model and specification.
- AYN noted that the hikes are due to higher RAM and storage prices, exchange rate volatility, and material costs.
Just a few days ago, there were murmurs from Android gaming handheld maker AYN that the ongoing memory crunch could lead to more price hikes. Unfortunately for prospective buyers, this has now been confirmed and brought forward a month.
In a Discord message on Friday, AYN revealed that consumers will now face price increases of up to $40 on some specifications for its Odin 3 and Thor handhelds, with the new prices taking effect on March 8 rather than in April as originally planned.
