>>719295179chunky ass odin 2 for comparison
>>719295179Implessive
>>719295179>another expensive chink handheld released yearly for some reasonwhy do they do this
Retroid is actually the same company as Ayaneo, and AYN is actually the same company as Powkiddy. It's a common mistake.
>>719295357The fact it was so thicc is specifically what made it more comfortable than the alternatives. In fact, willingly making it more chunky with a grip maximizes the comfyness.They keep making slimmer and flatter handhelds, only to sell you a plastic grip on the side because smartphone ergonomics may look sleek in marketing material but aren't optimal at all for actual Vidya sessions.
rp5 + grip is all i really need desu
>>719295179I have the odin 2 portal already. Why should I care?
>>719295179>Glass everywhere Bye.
>>719295579That's hard to believe, Retroid is very competent, just like AYN.Ayaneo and powkiddy, on the other hand, are managed by a bunch of retards.
>>719295579Ayaneo has no similarities. AYN and Retroid use all the same parts and their shit looks nigh on identical.
>>719295931You don't. Check back in 5-6 years or something, *maybe* there will be substantial emulator+hardware improvements by then to justifying caring.

>>719295357Odin Portal has worse ergonomics than Odin 2 so I hope the 3 will be better. But just seeing that render I somehow doubt it.
>>719296590You have to buy the grip as well just to make the Portal comparable to the Odin2, and even then it's still worse.I fully expect an official big ass grip for the Odin3.
Why should I get Odin 3 over Thor or vice versa?
>>719296731>>719296590Yeah this is the only reason why I haven't upgraded from my O2 Pro yet. Buying an ugly ass grip defeats the purpose of a sleek and modern looking handheld, but unfortunately it looks like all the higher end chinkhelds are doing this now.
>>719295179Buy an ad
>>719296786Thor is a 3DS. Odin is a Vita.
>I buy a handheld and then put grips on itNo way. I just stream everything anywaysno bigger than the Switch in my hands but feels much betterI'm sure there are better options but IDC
>>719296786if you don't like the clamshell form, Odin series aren't going to have hinge issues
>>719296786Hardware, they're pretty similar. The Odin series has a better battery than Thor. Thor has the dual screen functionality with the bottom screen capping at 60fps.
Can I stream from my PC with these chinkhelds?
>>719297641Yes

>>719297450>they're pretty similarDo we know anything at all about Odin 3's hardware?
>>719295179Alright the preview was misleading, the ergonomics look fine.
is it gonna be smaller and be like retroid pocket 5 but no grip necessary?
>>719298159Odin 3's hardware hasn't been revealed yet
What's the purpose of higher end android emulator devices when you could just get a phone instead at that price point?
>>719298583Active cooling?
>>719298583Phones are in general passively cooled. Even a raspberry pi 5 can outperform a flagship under sustained long-term load due to this.
>>719298583phones have passive cooling and it's bogged down with other bloatware
I got the Odin 2 Mini and have been having a blast with it.Absolutely no reason to ever upgrade from it from what I can tell. Currently playing through Luigi's Mansion still.
>>719298583>at that price point You usually can't, it's top tier hardware for a mid/low-end phone price Add to that>better aspect ratio for vidya, phone screens are taller than you'll ever need for any console game>integrated controller with extra programmable buttons for emulation>cooling, which means no throttling>bigger battery that lasts for hours or days depending on the console you're emulating and so onit's a dedicated device designed around one purpose, simple as
I'll buy this around 11.11 if Ayn does a similar sale
Odin 2 is still great, it plays everything I need it to.Unless there's been a massive bump on the processor or whatever for the 3.
This is literally just the Odin 2 Portal
