My Odin 1 took FOREVER to get to me. I backed it and it was cancelled once and then finally shipped about 4 months after it was supposed to. I decided to give them another shot with the Odin 2 (because I love my Odin 1, despite the customer service and shipping issues). Ordered it at the beginning of February (note there was Chinese holidays during the month) and it just arrived at the beginning of March. This is a HUGE leap in shipping for them, I'm very impressed with this console and the company's advancements. It is well worth getting, if you are sitting on the fence, just pull the trigger and get one, you won't regret it!

insane quality handheld daym, *drools*. great review subbed thanks for your coverage!!!

Hi, have you noticed the transparent version more slippery than the opaque versions?

I love mine it's sick same colour 💯💯

8000mAh - milliAmp hours. Milliamps are a measure of current - not capacity. You have to add a time factor to get capacity - so 8000mA for an hour. The battery capacity is in milliAmp hours

Switch emulation is much farther along on Windows. Yuzu is very early in development for Android (albeit insanely impressive). You’re going to get better compatibility on windows. But you’re going to find much better battery life with the Odin. I think it’s hard to pick a device and say “this replaces my switch” - we’re just not quite there yet. Hopefully soon!

Ally, it's almost flawless. Bare in mind that both the Ally and Steam Deck can also just about manage PS3 and Xbox 360 emulation with some tinkering, as well as being able to emulate the Wii U (via Cemu) and OG Xbox (via Xemu). Where as the Odin 2 falls short on all of those. Plus, of course the Steam Deck and Ally can also play PC games, new and old. TBH, the Odin 2 is far from being the perfect emulation device that most people are trying to make it out to be. The PC handhelds can emulate far more systems and also emulate them far better. Plus, when it comes to price they are just as cheap. Tbh, the only things the Odin 2 really has going for it over them, is it's better battery life and slightly better portability.

Somewhat clueless near the end, the Original Odin (have pro) does run F-Zero X at 2x/16:9 without issues since dolphin offers VBI skip... As to the stuttering in minecraft it is a bug introduced by an update in september and no fault of the device in itself. Not saying you should buy an OG Odin though, unless they severely cut prices these devices are now a bad deal with the RP4 Pro release so close.

That case promotion was painful

13:45 Sooo, you're just...not gonna tell us what you changed? 😅 Sorry, it's just so annoying when people say things like that with no explanation to the audience on how to fix the problem.

Company Ayn have to own a service in Europe for me to buy this because for example from Poland I need to spend something like 50 Euro to send them this Device to repair . They give you only one year of warranty. After this warranty you need to spend 100 Euro back and forth and add money for material and service... So for example 100 Euro for both ways and 100 Euro for service and material. 200 euro it's almost the cheapest device from them ... Furthermore if you want to buy this device you need to pay import tax by 80 Euro ...so If you want buy Odin 2 12/256 you need to spend almost $500.... And wait a long time to get this. Only one year of warranty. And probably repair for minimum $200 all the time you want to fix your device, can't wait a long time because you need to send this to China and wait until they resent you Odin 2.... Waste of time waste of money... Better option is buy a phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 black pocophone xiaomi are red magic which is really really good gaming phones series. I order red magic 9 pro , but if AYN would have service in Europe, then I would buy odin 2 4sure.

this device is smaller and lighter than the SD or Ally, thus is easier to take it with you on trips if you want. also it has very good battery life, exceeding those of the SD when emulating PS2, gamecube, and even switch. so in my view they complement each other pretty good (i own both the SD and Odin2)
