They say competition is good for the consumer, and never has that been felt more by the Android gaming handheld<\/a> community than in the past few weeks. First, AYANEO and AYN released competing dual-screen clamshells<\/a> in the same week, with the AYN Thor coming in slightly cheaper. Now, AYANEO has flipped the tables.<\/p>\n In a product sharing session this morning, AYANEO announced pricing on its upcoming KONKR Pocket FIT handheld. The standard model, which has a Snapdragon G3 Gen 3, will start at $239 for the 8+128GB model. The Pocket FIT Elite, which was finally confirmed to have a Snapdragon 8 Elite, will start at $269 for the same configuration.<\/p>\n The KONKR Pocket FIT might offer the best value in Android gaming handhelds.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that these are the super early bird prices, which will only last for the first week. After that, prices jump by $20-30 for the remainder of the crowdfunding campaign, with a final retail price that\u2019s another $20-30 higher than that.<\/p>\n The AYN Odin 3<\/a>, which was fully revealed last week, starts at $299, but only for the first 48 hours of the crowdfunding campaign. That\u2019s $30 more than the same specs on AYANEO\u2019s affordable flagship. Granted, it comes with a 6-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel, while the KONKR Pocket FIT models sport a 6-inch 144Hz LCD screen. Like the Pocket FIT, prices jump after the early bird period ends.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth pointing out that the top-spec models are very similar in pricing, which makes the Odin 3\u2019s AMOLED screen an objectively better buy. Check out full pricing for all three devices below.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n While much of the conversation has been about the 8 Elite chipset, the decision to offer a cheaper Snapdragon G3 Gen 3 model could bring more buyers into the fold. So far, this chipset has only been seen on the AYANEO Pocket S2<\/a>, which really impressed us in our review, but it comes in far too rich for most gamers. Unlike the 8 Elite, it also has excellent compatibility thanks to years of optimizations on community Turnip drivers.<\/p>\n At $239, the base model of the KONKR Pocket FIT blows away similarly priced handhelds like the Retroid Flip 2<\/a> or ANBERNIC RG 477M<\/a>. If AYANEO manages to stick the landing, this could be one of the best value devices in the Android handheld universe. For AYANEO, that\u2019s a welcome change of pace.<\/p>\n All models of the KONKR Pocket FIT are available now for pre-order on Indiegogo<\/a>, which again beats out the AYN Odin 3, which launches tomorrow morning<\/a>. The G3 Gen 3 model is set to begin shipping in October, with the 8 Elite model shipping in December.<\/p>\n As an added bonus, AYANEO is offering a discount and a free AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini<\/a> to anyone who pre-ordered a Pocket S2. Considering that the Pocket S2 has the same chipset as the Pocket FIT but costs more than twice as much, it\u2019s the least the company could do.<\/p>\n
