AYN Thor: A Near FLAWLESS Love Letter to the 3DS XL

Video Description

👉In today's video, Stubbs provides his first look impressions and unboxing of the new Thor, a dual screen handheld sent for review from AYN. This initial review covers an overview of the device, testing functionality, comparisons with other clamshells like the Retroid Pocket Flip 2, RP5 + DS add-on, emulation for DS, 3DS, Wii U, Vita, and GameHub Lite (Winlator). Also streaming through Geforce now and Artemis/Moonlight, initial benchmarks, and more! The AYN Thor is a modern love letter to the DS and 3DS era of handhelds, specifically it feels and looks similar to a Nintendo "NEW" 3DS XL, but with way more horsepower under the hood. You’re looking at a crisp 6‑inch 1080p AMOLED up top, a 3.9‑inch AMOLED touch screen below, and internals that scale from a Snapdragon 865 up to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with 16 gigs of RAM and a terabyte of storage. Toss in Hall‑effect sticks, stacked triggers, Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, and a beefy 6000mAh battery, and you’ve got a dual‑screen handheld that’s not just for nostalgia — it’s a fantastic multi-tasking emulation and Android gaming monster. 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🛒Featured items from this video: Thor: https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor Thor Accessories: https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-Accessories-Pack https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-Lanyard https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-Carrying-Case https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-TPU-Grip https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-Soft-Pouch https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-TPU-Shell https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-Screen-Protectors Configs: https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-Lite https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-Base https://rh-go.link/AYN-Thor-Pro Thor Stylus: https://rh-go.link/Mini_Android_Stylus 💵 Save money with our hand-picked gaming & handheld deals: https://handheld.deals 🔎Browse our curated weekly deals: https://rh-go.link/DILLS ✨Became a Member or Patron👇 🌐All Our Links: https://rh-go.link 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🎵 Music by Jim Gray (https://ourghosts.bandcamp.com) and SoundStripe 🎞️Production & Editing by SonyWWDD30 (and Gary for Zu's vids...sometimes) ⚠️ Disclaimer This description contains affiliate links.
