AYN Thor

AYN Thor retro handheld

About this device

The AYN Thor is the only Android handheld with dual AMOLED screens — a 6" top panel and a 3.92" touchscreen bottom. It is the definitive device for DS and 3DS emulation, with both screens working exactly as the original hardware intended.

The AYN Thor is the shipping benchmark for dual screen Android, pairing two AMOLED screens in a clamshell. That makes it the device to beat for DS and 3DS, where both screens and the touch layer work exactly as the originals intended. A Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 also powers PS2, GameCube, and Wii with ease. The trade offs are real, since it has no built in grips and a steeper setup curve, so it suits enthusiasts rather than newcomers. Rivals are coming, with the Anbernic RG DS Plus and the Retroid Pocket Duo both announced, but neither has shipped. If your library leans on DS and 3DS and you want them done right today, the Thor is still the pick.
