AYN Issues a Massive Thor Update

https://retrohandhelds.gg/ayn-issues-a-massive-thor-update/

Let’s be real: if your handheld’s update notes include “anti-image retention for OLED panels,” you’re not just buying a device—you’re adopting a pet that needs therapy.

AYN just dropped a massive OTA update for the Thor, and it’s packed with goodies: better bass EQ, smarter fan control, third-party launcher support (finally!), and—yes—that all-important OLED “don’t burn my screen” mode. Pro tip: after installing, let your Thor die completely before recharging. Apparently, the update messes with battery math like a toddler with a calculator.

But here’s the kicker: while Batch 2 orders are finally shipping (yay!), Batch 3 is coming… at a higher price. RAM costs spiked, so Early Bird pricing is dead. Lite and Base models jump $10; Pro and Max? +$20. No ship dates yet for Batch 3, but if you’ve been waiting? Now’s the time to pounce—while stock lasts.

This isn’t just a firmware update. It’s a warning shot: if RAM keeps climbing, your next handheld might come with a “memory tax” sticker. And we all know who pays for those… us.
