AYN Odin 3: a powerful Android handheld with Snapdragon 8 Elite

AYN Technologies has officially released the Odin 3 handheld for direct purchase, bypassing crowdfunding platforms. The device features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, an 8,000 mAh battery, and configurations with up to 24 GB of RAM, positioning it among the most powerful Android handheld consoles. Skipping crowdfunding makes the path to purchase more straightforward, and the spec sheet alone suggests ample performance headroom.

Odin 3 replaces the Odin 2 and arrives in several trims, from the base model to the top-tier Ultra. Every version uses the same Snapdragon 8 Elite, helping deliver high performance even in current games while keeping the experience consistent across the range. The base variant with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of UFS 3.1 storage is priced at $329, while the Pro, Max, and Ultra models with UFS 4.0 storage are listed at $399, $449, and $519.

AYN says shipments will begin in late November 2025, with a free protective case included with every order. The company stresses that Odin 3 offers performance comparable to portable PCs yet remains affordable—taken together, it stands as one of the most powerful Android handhelds in its class. On paper, that blend of price and power looks especially compelling for anyone eyeing a capable Android console.
