RAM crisis bites again: This beefy Android handheld just got canceled

• AYN has told consumers that the Odin 3 Ultra handheld console has been canceled due to a supply shortage.
• The company is offering a full refund or letting users switch to the 16GB/512GB Odin 3 Max model instead.
• This is just the latest production issue for handheld consoles in the wake of the RAM crisis.

The RAM crisis has seriously affected handheld consoles, as several major brands have downgraded specs or announced price hikes. Now, one prominent manufacturer has canceled an Android handheld model altogether.

AYN has sent emails to people who ordered the Odin 3 Ultra handheld, telling them that the model has been canceled. The emails, shared on the OdinHandheld subreddit and AYN Discord group, confirm that this is due to a supply shortage. In saying so, some users who previously ordered the device have indeed received it. So this cancellation presumably affects people who ordered as part of later batches.
