Will the AYN Odin 2 Be Worth It? NEW SD 8 Gen 2 Android Handheld!

Ойындар

👉Hot off the heels of the Loki, AYN seems to be gearing up to take pre-orders for the Odin 2 Android handheld. Sporting a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, hall sticks (from the Retroid Pocket 2S), 8, 12, or 16GB of ram, up to 512GB internal storage, better ergonomics and improved shoulder buttons, this high-end Android handheld might be unstoppable!
Let's learn about what we know so far, check out some fun colorway options (thanks Scott & CaPiTaN!), but not before addressing some important considerations...

    Day 1 preorder for me as long it does not exceed 350 USD and is reasonably speced for the price. Whether i will actually stick with it til its release is another thing though😅, depend on when it ships and what other stuff from competitors arrive in the mean time. One thing you don't need to worry about AYN is getting a refund from them when you can't wait for it😂.

    This is worth $300 with a Snapdragon 888 [IMHO]. But that's a big ask in a market that leans towards the Steam Deck above $300. Benchmarks do suggest parity in retro gaming among the Snapdragon 888 and Steam Deck's Zen 2 650M APU. But the Steam Deck offers so much more as a PC gaming 'console.' So I think AYN is hinting of an alternative SoC such as the MediaTek D8000 or HiSilicon K9000E. Both are 'faster than a SN870' in benchmarks, yet could be the foundation of a successful $200 to $250 retro gaming handheld with seamless GameCube and PS2 support, while supporting Switch and PS3 with minimal tweaks. Obviously, the Citra crowd will be disappointed with anything less than a Snapdragon to best support 3DS emulation. But I believe that would be a poor seller due to the premium Snapdragon pricing.

    @@wingsfromheaven8788 they already show a snapdragon, so definitely using one unless they have multiple SKU. I have a steam deck and the performance shown for certain PS2 titles for the pocket air (d1200) already exceeded the capability of the deck when it comes to the more difficult stuff, and d1200 is on par with a 870. A 888 would only be better. The deck has a capable GPU, but the 4 Zen 2 cores capped at 3.5 ghz really hampers emulation for the more difficult stuff, especially at 15W where it could not sustain maximum clock speed for both CPU+GPU where the ARM devices likely can. And to me they are totally 2 different family of products, so I am not comparing them in the first place. And there is no PS3 emulator for Android.
