AYN Opens Official AliExpress Storefront for Thor and Odin 3 Handhelds

AYN launches direct AliExpress sales channel for its handheld gaming devices, offering price reductions compared to third-party resellers.

AYN has established an official storefront on AliExpress, providing customers with direct purchasing options for its Thor and Odin 3 handheld gaming devices. This move creates an alternative to buying directly from AYN's website while addressing significant price markups from third-party sellers on the platform.

Previously available through unofficial resellers at inflated prices, both devices now ship directly from the manufacturer through the new AliExpress store. While prices remain slightly higher than those on AYN's official website, they represent substantial reductions compared to third-party listings and align closer with AYN's planned January 20 price adjustments.
