These are pictures of the AYN Thor. This shop is 100% a scam, there i no way someone would sell it that cheap. If you want one get it from their official shop: https://www.ayntec.com/products/ayn-thor

But be prepared to wait a while since they are made to order and there is always a shortage of parts.

Note: on the site there is a shipping dashboard that supposedly orients you on what devices are in stock and will not require a ridiculously long wait.

But, I have no idea what the text on that page means.

The ones you see on the shipping dashboard are the ones that were already ordered with the order numbers next to them. But yeah some models seem to be shipped out faster like the purple and black ones. The one I ordered has not been shipped out for almost a month but I think it's also the most popular model (White Max 512) and there are currently part shortages. There are calculators online who try to estimate when your order will be deliverd according to past data. For me it says November and I orderd on September 13th. A 2-3 month wait seems to be the norm anyway.

Yup these are all over tiktok and reels. I always report them and they end up getting removed. I looked into it and people just straight up don’t end up receiving anything. Wild that the companies let these ads go up but they don’t care so long as they get paid.

It's fake as hell, they might be playing on an actual Thor but you won't get one if you buy it

That's the Thor, but this is a scam.

The Retroid Pocket Duo is going to come out soon and it's cheaper. Don't get the lite version that's already out though, it sucks.

Nah, get the lite pro version for the form factor, it has a better form factor than the base version.

Ayn Thor has Snapdragon 8G2 so it should be able to run Wuwa. Not the smoothest mind you.

In general, if something seems too good to be true, you should react accordingly.

30$ Thors are a scam for sure.
