Edit: I'm dumb, I've played through Persona 5 twice and still forgot the beginning has masked faces for story reasons. Persona 5 runs perfect, ignore my comment in the video. Also Genshin does run better than I had, apologies on that one. And apparently the washed out grey look is an Android bug, not Odin 2 related. It happens in dark mode, doesn't happen in light.
-
This is the first indiegogo campaign I've ever supported and I'm really excited! Wasn't sure initially but seeing them ship out reviews units this early made me very hopeful they'll meet their deadlines.
-
I'm considering getting an Odin 2 because it's a much lighter, ergonomic & power efficient. I have a SD, and the reality is that it's large, unwieldy & heavy. It's comfortable for a large device, but the overall weight induces quite a bit of wrist strain for longer sessions. This is something that a lot of people write off, "Why not just get a SD," -- it's one of the least portable handhelds.
-
I don't need this but if they ship out on time and people are happy, I plan to pick one up.
-
I never doubted the final product. Loki and Odin1 ended up being amazing, and now this is as well.
-
wow this is a really thorough, well made review!! thank you for this!
-
This is pretty much the exact handheld I've been waiting for!
-
I'm stoked i preordered the black base 🔥🔥🔥
-
Great review. Special thanks for showing 2 player on the big screen
-
Calm review 💯 had to preorder this, can't wait till December
-
Let's go Joey! Fantastic review, and why do I want the Black model all of a sudden 😂❤ - Stubbs
-
I'm so exited to get this! I got the pro and they've just said they are shipping at the end of October instead of December
-
Finally! At first I wanted a rg405m, but this beats that.
-
My Razer Edge is my current handheld emulator machine for gaming, but I always loved the idea of picking one of these devices from Ayn.
-
Amazing review planing on pre-ordering one right now
-
Every other reviewer has been complaining about the LED brightness not being ajustable. Good find diving into the RGB settings! It would be great, if you could make a setup video like for the Anbernic RG405M.
-
Enjoy your turkey! Happy thanksgiving Joey!
-
Love you Joey, amazing video as always keep up the great work

I have a comment about the software issues. For the FPS counter, it doesn't display the accurate fps on the sidebar but the floating fps counter should be accurate but it needs about 1-3 seconds to start displaying the correct info(Just tap on the fps on the side bar and the floating icon will show up whenever the sidebar isn't extended). This behavior is consistent with the Odin 1 or at least the Odin lite. Dolphin focus issue is the same on my Odin Lite, I think the issue may be more on dolphin than the Odin.
-
Actually, the "Charging Seperation" mode is to be used if you want to charge the device so the battery can get some rest.
