AYN has officially opened pre-orders for its Odin 3 Portal handheld, offering Base, Pro, and multiple Max variants with confirmed pricing, storage tiers, and a projected November shipping window.
The announcement follows an initial teaser trailer and subsequent updates from the manufacturer that detailed core hardware changes over the Odin 2 Portal and confirmed pre-order logistics.
Pre-order timing and variants
AYN’s update timeline shows pre-orders were scheduled to open on October 22 at 18:30 PT / 21:30 ET (October 23 at 02:30 BST / 03:30 CET for Europe), and a later update on October 23 confirmed that pre-orders are now live on the AYN website.
All models ship with a one-year warranty and are expected to begin shipping in November 2026.
Current MSRP and limited-time discounts (as announced)
- Base Model — 12GB RAM + 128GB storage: $399 USD / €355 (discounted from $419)
- Pro Model — 12GB RAM + 256GB storage: $479 USD / €426 (discounted from $499)

AYN indicated the Base and Pro models carried a temporary $20 USD discount while the Max model had a temporary $30 USD discount during the initial preorder window.
Design and hardware highlights
According to AYN’s materials and the teaser, the Odin 3 Portal is powered by a Dragonwing Q8 processor and includes a 9,000mAh battery—both presented as upgrades over the Odin 2 Portal.
AYN confirmed physical refinements: redesigned handgrips for improved comfort, anti-fingerprint glass, larger hall-effect thumbsticks with textured edges, and a total device weight of approximately 450g.
AYN also announced three colour options at launch: Black, White, and Cold Grey.
Journalistic summary of company statements
AYN’s initial teaser provided limited detail but did confirm core infrastructure upgrades compared with the previous generation.
The company did not provide full retail pricing or a firm ship date in the first trailer; those commercial details were supplied in follow-up updates that opened pre-orders and listed specific SKUs and discounts.
Context for the market
The Odin 3 Portal targets the portable gaming segment alongside established devices such as the Nintendo Switch.
AYN’s focus on higher-capacity batteries, upgraded SoC, and refined controls underscores the competitive emphasis on performance and ergonomics in the current handheld market.
What’s next
AYN’s rollout indicates availability through its official store first, with shipping expected to begin in early November 2026.
Developers, retailers, and consumers looking for launch availability should monitor AYN’s website and official channels for stock updates and regional shipping details.
