Now im hoping the vita emu gets even better

Between this and the Anbernic clamshell, nostalgia handhelds are going hard. Vita is one of my favorite handhelds ever, here's hoping they can get the power/price ratio right here.

Thats a pretty sick looking device, admittedly I love my Vita even though the screen is a tad small and I have to wear reading glasses to play it but having a modern android device in that form factor is a brilliant move from AYN. I'd probably get one if the price is reasonable.

oh damn, I just picked up the retroid pocket 4 pro... I'm tempted to return and get this lol

I do hope they make good workarounds to the heating issues, even with a active cooling games on 3x in Nether makes the Odin 2 hot sometimes(ex.:Need for Speed Underground 2, Dirge of Cerberus, Shadow of the Colossus, etc. )

I’m loving this

With PC emulation becoming more popular the added power is absolutely important.

Just got the RG35XXH. Lookimg to upgrade to Pocket 4 Pro next few months, but will wait for this too to compare.

I was hoping for the Ayn Fold maybe next time.

I would probably buy a GDP win mini 3 which can do it all with the Strix Point APU. Can dock it and use as a desktop as well

Maybe the 2 Vita style ovular indents on the back where your fingers rest could be clickable buttons?

I’m loving the competition between these companies. Can’t get too comfortable in this market. I wanted to upgrade from my Retroid pocket 2s for ps2 and GameCube games and originally planned on getting the Retroid pocket 4 pro, but now idk.

Rp4 is a good choice tho for PS2, wii and GameCube, only downsides are there's a small chance your screen will be a little ghosty if you get an older unit, and driver incompatibility for things like winlator and switch games, but if your just looking for 2s on steroids, it's waaaay stronger in terms of power and well worth the ~230-ish that it costs after shipping.

Never again. The poor shipping times for both the device and then the replacement part and screwdriver set I had to order, the language barrier and bad English translation, the lack of care the cheap parts and taking my business for granted....

I think it looks awesome. I don't think I'll get one as I'm still loving my Odin 2. The form factor of this new one looks like it might be less comfortable than the Odin 2 which is already a joy to hold.

Cheers Alex. Makes the Odin1/2 look pretty plain. I like it, original design or not.

For me it's the price. We'll see. I would love to have Odin 2 pro, but its full salary in my country, so im better off saving money for steamdeck then. I just need smth to play up to PS2, and RP4 pro does the job while being 200$.

I'll just say, not all ps2 games will run great on rp4. You don't need the pro version, the regular odin 2 will run everything just as well unless you want switch games. Extra ram won't change how fast a game can run. steamdeck doesn't play ps2 better than the odin 2 and it is huge.

Great Video thank You Roe. I am not a fan of Sony or Nintendo or Xbox. I am a SEGA fan. So, for me any hardware that matches that is good for me. So long as it's sleek and stylish and powerful and great battery life. That's all I want, well and to catch up on the amount of those kinds of handhelds. I'd Really like to have several styles to choose from. Thx.

interesting..cheers.

As a owner of a vita 1000 and Odin 2. I am very interested in the device. It now depends on color and price that may cause me to double dip.

Wish the dpad would be on top. Now I have to buy another grip when using just the dpad for gaming just like the Odin 2 now.

I'm hoping there's an indie gogo especially for that $400 price point for the white model for 256GB.

Looks great, but not a fan of how those ABXY buttons are really off to the edge, it probably feels great, it just looks odd. Real bummer about the lack of M1 and M2 buttons, I use mine ALL the time on the Odin 1. Now I just wonder what the processor is and the price. Hoping it would be $200-250. If it can do 1080p with PS2 and Wii, then it'll be great! I'm glad I waited, the Odin 1 serves me quite well for what I play, got an RP3+ but really missing a back button on that. We'll see soon enough! Thanks for the vid.

Arduino 740 or better for the feature set please, even if it is throttled to meet a power budget.

the 1100 nits of brightness is the big selling point, it's as bright as a new macbook pro screen, which means...awesme visibility outside, or in bright environments. I just hop it has nice battery life and a decent price.

It looks nice but damn with a form factor that small my right thumb is already feeling sore looking at how low that right thumbstick is.

cool, want this with 12GB RAM whoop!

My only complaint is the B button to close to the side.

The smaller screen, the less 3000 mAh battery life, and the lack of grip and ergonomics make me love my Odin 2 Pro even more.

One with a chance to fit in my pocket, yes.

I have an odin 2 Max, no i don't beed this but is nice tho.

I honestly think it's better to just copy the vita rather than come up with your own weird ass design, likely full of minor problems. I think companies should just really copy paste more what we known is great like the switch lite, the vita or psp and not really be ashamed to do so, since the final result to everyone, is probably better.

I think the price will be the real selling poin. Mini lcd in this kind of console for android and retro gaming is quite useless in a 5 inches display and just rise the price.

$339 Base model(Black), $399 Pro (Black and White). Forget it 😑

Right thumbstick is in the wrong place. On a small device they are just uncomfortable to use. Why does everyone use the switch/xbox layout……….

They're purposely paying homage to ps vita, for respect.

I really wish they would stop doing asymmetrical analogs. The dpad on top, like the original Vita, is so much more comfortable. I want the analogs at the bottom like playstation controllers on everything. Hate asymmetrically placed sticks

Except Vita emulation sucks

That D-pad looks really uncomfortable to use... And the entire design looks really cheap tbh. This is the first Ayn device that makes me think that
