Why did AYANEO stop making the Pocket Fit 8 Elite?

The global cost of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS storage increased so much that the device became too expensive to manufacture. Rather than raising the price by $100 or more, AYANEO chose to suspend production until market conditions improve.

Is the Konkr Pocket Fit the same as the Elite 8?

Yes, the Konkr Pocket Fit available at DROIX is the "Elite 8" configuration, featuring the high-spec Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It is one of the few ways to still get this specific hardware combination.

When will the final stock be available?

A limited shipment is scheduled to arrive at DROIX in mid-April 2026. Because of the production halt, this is expected to be the final batch of these units for the foreseeable future.

Will this affect other brands like AYN or Retroid?

While other brands like AYN (Odin 3) and Retroid (Pocket 6) have seen minor price hikes of $10–$40, they have not yet suspended production. However, the entire Android gaming handheld market is currently under extreme pricing pressure due to the RAM shortage.
