25 August 2026 — Odin 3 prices increasing again

AYN has announced another price increase for the Odin 3, with the new prices taking effect on 1 September 2026.

The new prices are:

• Odin 3 Base (8GB + 128GB): $369 — previously $349

• Odin 3 Pro (12GB + 256GB): $469 — previously $449

• Odin 3 Max (16GB + 512GB): $529 — previously $499

This is the latest in a series of Odin 3 price increases during 2026. AYN has attributed the increases to higher component costs, particularly memory and storage.

The Odin 3 originally launched at considerably lower prices, meaning the cumulative increases are becoming significant for new buyers.

What this means for buyers: Orders placed before the September 1 price change may avoid the latest increase, subject to AYN's current ordering and inventory arrangements.

24 August 2026 — Thor and Odin 3 shipping continues

AYN's shipping dashboard continues to show significant progress through the Thor and Odin 3 pre-order batches.

On 24 August, AYN reported shipping progress for several Thor configurations, including:

• Thor White Pro

• Thor Rainbow Max

• Thor Clear Purple Max 512GB

• Odin 3 Black Pro

• Odin 3 Black Max

• Odin 3 White Max

The shipping ranges suggest that AYN continues to work through the later Thor batches, although progress varies considerably depending on the model, colour and configuration.

Community reports are also beginning to appear from later-batch Thor customers receiving their devices.

One Batch 7 Thor Pro owner reported that their unit shipped on 13 August and was delivered on 24 August using AliExpress Standard Shipping.

AYNTime tip: Your batch number alone may not tell the whole story. Shipping progress can vary significantly between individual Thor configurations.

August 2026 — Community reports changes to DHL shipping

Several AYN customers have reported changes to the shipping options available for newer orders.

Community discussions indicate that DHL may no longer be available for some AYN orders, with customers instead being offered alternatives such as 4PX or YunExpress.

This appears to vary depending on the product, order and time of purchase. AYNTime has not found evidence that DHL has been permanently discontinued for every AYN order worldwide.

One Reddit discussion in February reported that AYN was no longer using DHL for Thor orders, while another March discussion reported an Odin 2 Portal order being switched from DHL to YunExpress.

Important: This is currently best treated as a community-reported shipping change rather than a confirmed global AYN policy.

February–March 2026 — Reports of 4PX shipping problems

Several AYN customers have reported significant problems with 4PX shipments, including long periods without tracking updates and, in some cases, apparently lost shipments.

One Thor customer reported waiting almost four months for their device after ordering in October. The customer eventually contacted AYN and had the device reshipped using DHL after the original 4PX shipment was considered lost.

Other AYN customers have reported parcels spending extended periods in transit or at customs without meaningful tracking updates.

This does not mean that every 4PX shipment experiences problems. Many customers report receiving their devices normally. However, the recurring reports are worth monitoring for anyone choosing between shipping options.

AYNTime tip: When comparing shipping methods, don't look only at the advertised delivery time. The reliability of tracking and the process for dealing with a lost shipment can also be important.

29 June 2026 — Thor receives another price increase

AYN announced another increase to Thor pricing, effective 3 July 2026.

Odin 3 models and the Odin 2 Portal also received $10 increases at the same time.

AYN cited continuing component-cost pressures as the reason for the increases.

The Thor Max 1TB received the largest increase, rising by $30.

March 2026 — AYN brings forward major price increases

AYN announced that increasing DRAM and storage costs were forcing the company to bring forward planned price increases.

The company said its memory and storage suppliers had increased prices and that pricing pressure was expected to continue.

The March price adjustment increased some Thor and Odin 3 configurations by up to $40.

AYN said existing orders would continue to be fulfilled at their original prices.

May 2026 — Odin 3 Ultra orders cancelled

AYN announced that it could no longer fulfil Odin 3 Ultra orders because of supply shortages affecting the 24GB RAM + 1TB storage configuration.

Customers were offered two options:

1. Switch to an Odin 3 Max with a $20 discount; or

2. Receive a full refund plus a $20 coupon toward a future AYN device.

The cancellation highlighted the growing impact of memory and storage shortages on AYN's product range.
