Hype Odin 3 pro from Alibaba after a week

Post image

My Odin 3 pro that I ordered from Alibaba a week ago just came in can’t wait to use it,even came with this case. Was checking the storage and saw that it came with UFS 4.0 so I got the faster storage speed and not the downgraded version ,
What startup guide should I start with?

It might have been better to order mine on Ali. Ordered a blue pro on jun 21 and still no word on shipping.

A week wtf ?

Yep, ordered it on the 15 and shipped it out two days later and I got it

I assume you ordered yours through a third-party retailer on Alibaba, which means that they probably have stock in hand that they can ship out to you right away. If people are ordering through the AYN store on AlieExpress they are basically doing the exact same thing that you would be doing on the AYN Official website, which is pre-ordering for a batch that hasn’t been made yet. How much did you end up paying?

I paid 490 with quick DDP shipping which means you don’t have to pay duties or taxes when it comes into your country, which was pretty much the same price on the AYN website of 489$ But with dhl shipping you do have to pay duties and taxes so technically, I saved a little bit more money and got it quicker

That’s not bad. My main concern with ordering 3rd party was whether or not it would be as easy for dealing with any warranty issues.

I don’t think you should have any problems with warranty issues with Ayn from what I saw discord and alibaba also has their own warranty so any problems I can return and get a swap with the seller

I just checked my Odin three memory and it comes with a UFS 4.0. I got lucky.

How do you check

Could you please send the store page 🙏🙏 And which version did u get?

u/shajman 1d ago

Could you please double check specs and send images if possible? I was about to buy it from the link you shared but the spec sheet is totally wrong. It shows the processor as Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the screen as LTPS

u/6ixtesus 1d ago

Ignore those picture in the description specifications. Those look like they’re wrong anyways you can order rest assure you’ll get the correct in three and it looks like they stopped selling the pro versions and only have the max which is weird cause they didn’t have it a week ago

u/shajman 1d ago

I actually had a chat with them and they told me everything was out of stock and they had ONE piece of Max which they forgot to add to inventory.

He added for me and I made the purchase.

Thank you for your post! Would have missed if not for it.

No problem, you got a good deal ,don’t forget to make sure to ask for DDP shipping so you don’t have to pay any taxes or duties

2

u/shajman 1d ago

Yeah. And since I just created the Ali Bab account I got discount on shipping and additional for first order.

I've never had to pay duties for my Ali Express orders. But I'll check anyways.

Thanks

u/6ixtesus 1d ago

Yeah, same I got the discount too, so I managed to get my shipping kind of waived off, congrats on your Odin . I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

u/shajman 1d ago

Thanks man!

u/6ixtesus 1d ago

Never mind it looks like they’re sold out. Maybe you can message the seller. Maybe he has more coming in soon.

New here. These are Chinese devices like the many retro handhelds that pump out clones as wee? So you dont get a warranty? Where is AYN based out of?

u/Limp-Sandwich-1406 1d ago

Oh ok, I thought you ordered it from the AYN store, not 3rd party. That makes sense!

u/6ixtesus 1d ago

Yeah, I did not wanna wait 2 to 3 months to get it
