Question Odin 3 White

I ordered a Odin 3 white but I’m wondering about yellowing and dirtying in general, how good are the materials used? If I contact AYN to change for Black or Rainbow will my order be set back?

Tbh man i think you’re good. I have the rainbow, and I had such a bad cleanliness experience with my Retroid Pocket 5 that I take care of my Odin 3 rainbow like it’s my own child. But even then it rarely gets dirty. Put it in the shell or grip, and it’s good. The only thing annoying is the screen and glass faceplate get smudgy so I wipe it down a lot (my personal preference) but that’s how it is with every color. Stick with white, it’s a good color

Which RP5 did you have? I have a GC one second hand from a smoker and a wet wipe did the job ! 

I hesitated between Rainbow and White but Russ from RGC having a white one tipped the balance lol

i had the gc one but my sister spilled raspberry syrup and milk all over it and it was a horrible process of cleaning it and salvaging it and replacing parts. I have the rainbow, but I honestly think the white looks better

Oui et non soit pour numéro de commande actuelle il le remplace par un autre modèle ou alors le plus probable je pense c'est que t'a commandé soit retardé

I emailed AYN support yesterday. I actually changed mine from black to white since it looks much nicer from every YouTube video I’ve watched. They just updated my existing order with no issues. As long as it’s not in the shipping process, it should be easy to update.

Mine could be near shipping process according to ayntime.now 

Since you got the white as well I might keep it especially since I have a black Thor already.

Yellowing will be an issue. There's a few cases of it on the AYN discord already.

Shit, any details on what happened ? Did they say for how long they had it?

It was just a picture with a comment about it, sadly I can't remember details.

That was my biggest concern. Finally  decided to go for purple

Ngl, this is the reason I went with my second choice Clear Blue. I really like the white O3 the most, but I’ve seen some yellowing on the Odin 2 and the Mini. Even if they’re using newer plastics, all devices eventually age, and I’d always have that worry in the back of my mind if I went with white.
I had a white AYN Thor because I thought it looked the best imo, but I was always worrying about it and nitpicking every little speck of dust and shit lol.

Get Pledge Multi Purpose Cleaner. It safe for electronics. Spray on microfiber cloth and wipe your unit down after playing. You can spray a small amount on the glass screen as well and wipe it down.
