AYN is making it easier to buy its latest handheld gaming devices by launching an official storefront on AliExpress, focusing especially on the newer dual-screen AYN Thor and the AYN Odin 3. This move is aimed at improving availability for shoppers who prefer AliExpress, while also giving buyers a safer alternative to overpriced third-party listings.
Until now, both the Thor and Odin 3 have technically been available on AliExpress since launch, but many listings came from resellers who marked the devices up by hundreds of dollars. With AYN selling directly through its own official store, pricing is far more reasonable and closer to what you’d expect from the brand itself.
That said, the lowest prices are still on AYN’s own website, so direct-from-manufacturer remains the best-value route if you’re simply trying to spend the least. The AliExpress pricing runs a little higher than AYN’s current website deals, and it also appears to line up more closely with the updated pricing structure expected to take effect on January 20.
According to the AliExpress product pages, shipping is scheduled to begin on February 28 (shipping costs are not included in the prices below).
AYN Thor prices on AliExpress (excluding shipping)
AYN Thor Base (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 8GB RAM + 128GB storage) – $311.90
AYN Thor Pro (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 12GB RAM + 256GB storage) – $375.44
AYN Thor Max (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 16GB RAM + 1TB storage) – $447.64
One notable omission is the AYN Thor Lite, the more affordable version powered by a Snapdragon 865. At the moment, that model isn’t listed in the official AliExpress shop.
Right now, AYN’s AliExpress lineup is limited to these two handhelds only. Older devices and official accessories haven’t been added yet, which may matter if you’re hoping to bundle items like cases or other first-party add-ons in the same order.
For buyers who want better availability and a more trustworthy listing than typical reseller posts, AYN’s official AliExpress store offers a solid new middle-ground: more convenient than ordering elsewhere for some regions, less inflated than third-party pricing, but still slightly above the manufacturer’s best direct prices.
