Market Positioning and Comparison

With this pricing, AYN Technologies has placed Thor in a competitive set. The device will launch at $150 less than the Ayaneo Pocket DS, which starts at $399.

More specifically, the entry price of the Thor of $249 is $20 above that of the Retroid Pocket Flip 2. According to AYN Technologies, this cost difference is justifiable because of the inclusion of a second display and larger battery.
