Those price hikes have now been announced, along with a surprise increase to the Odin 2 Portal. The changes will take effect later this week, with AYN suggesting that anyone interested in one of these handhelds should place an order now. The good news is that the impact is much less than you may have first expected. Most models have risen by $10 USD, with the exception being the 1TB variant of the Thor Max, which will be $30 more expensive this time next week. AYN’s Thor and Odin 3 handhelds are currently on their batch 7 and batch 8 pre-orders, respectively.
