Thank you so much for not centering the devices when comparing sizes. It's so much better to tell the size difference the way that you do it. Great review.
Glad to help! Yeah that's why I show them that way, looks better for comparing the sizes. Side note but Beacon looks pretty great on here too! Still can't decide which launcher I'm gonna keep on it.
Agreed! I still can't believe how good these handhelds are getting. When I first started with my RG351P I couldn't imagine we'd be seeing devices like this in the hobby.
That was a great video very informative thank you! I watched this vid on my S24 Ultra AMOLED screen and it was glorious! I'm excited to receive my black pro, it shipped so I should have it by next Tues according to DHL!! I'm so hyped!!!!!
Thanks for mentioning DRM. That may do it for me. Love my rp5 but its in a weird spot where its not small enough to be an EDC, like my Pocket Micro. This will be a great media and gaming device.
Mine was shipped yesterday. The retail unit will come with extra bigger joystick caps and also spare buttons. At least that's what an Indiegogo backer received today in Singapore. I asked him to take a photo of the spare buttons, while people said they might be the colored ones. The official screen protector will only cover the screen ñ no the whole glass front.
Interesting about the screen protector but I guess since it has rounded edges it wouldn't be possible for a screen protector on those parts. I'm excited to test out the bigger joysticks on it as I think these are nearly perfect for height, should be just right with those. You can also use skull and co switch caps on top of them for some extra height either way.
Good review ! I will stay with my Base Odin 2 and waiting for the next generation of Snapdragon Elite. Not a fan of the glass in front (fingerprint and fragile) but that screen is impressive
winlator works on android so you can play PC games on the Portal - 1TB would be good to support the games. Yuzu also saves all the DLC and updates (which can get rather large) on the internal storage.
Man I love my Odin 2 so I'll defo stick with it. The screen is good but just having OLED would mean all my devices are now OLED but I cannot forgive the size of the Portal, it's too big. Odin 2 Mini is nice, but too small for me. Maybe Odin 2 is just the right size for me :D
The base with 8GB ram should be more than enough for that stuff. You'll be very impressed! You can still enable the swap file if needed in the settings menu but I think you should be okay.
Do you have any snapdragon aptx earbuds or headphones to test this with. In developer options under Bluetooth it should say which audio codecs it supports. I can't get an answer out of anyone.
I checked with my Soundpeats Mini Pro HS and they show as working correctly with LDAC. APX is in the audio codec section under developer settings though, just can't use it on either one of my earbuds I own.
I'm kinda sad to be one of the first to order a white model. I'll most likely receive mine in February. But yes I am very excited to get one. I'll sell my Logi G Cloud and Abxylute once I get this. Maybe even my PlayStation Portal.
wow, looks like ayn really knocked it out of the park with the portal. however i do prefer the smaller size of my odin2, and i'm not bothered by the inferior screen, so no point in upgrading to the portal. great review.
The buttons and analog sticks don't last and these Chinese handhelds, I went the phone path instead with the same SD8 gen2 SoC and G8 telescopic controller , nice to detach controller for touch screen games
Sorry about that... wasn't really happy with how that part turned out. I really need to invest in a better mic for capturing audio on devices exclusively. The SM7B starts hissing if I turn it up too loud.
1. gets 2nd place for “ugly” right after the steam deck - it really doesn't look nice 2. the front is all glass - fingerprints - is a no go for me 3. 1 to 1 the same performance as the odin 2 - only that the thing has 7 inches and a 120hz OLED display honestly? thats nothing for me... im still in love with the GOAT aka the Odin 2 Max :)
It's okay man don't let the fomo eat you alive, just enjoy your Odin 2 you don't need to hate on newer releases to justify your purchase you can just love what you have

I prefer middle since it spreads out in size, but side works too.
You're one of the highest quality channels that deserves much more views. Keep up the great work man
Thank you! Really nice to hear stuff like this.
Hoping he gets to 10k subs and beyond soon! Definitely agree with you Drew
What a way to end the year with the RP5 and now Portal. Pretty amazing how far these devices have come in a few years.
Agreed! I still can't believe how good these handhelds are getting. When I first started with my RG351P I couldn't imagine we'd be seeing devices like this in the hobby.
@KeiRetroGaming keep up the good work 🤘
Wow, you put this out at around midnight. Guess you were super excited for this one!
I was! The screen plus the bigger size overall really left me curious if I'd like this one.

I need this like yesterday! But just got my odin2 few months ago... I'll have to wait.

Thanks for this comment! Was wondering that about the screen protector

O melhor review do odin 2 portal que eu ja vi ❤
Top
Great review, thanks.
I have ordered a max, knowing that I don't need so much power now, but i think it will perform better in a future.
You'll have tons of space for everything you want to put on there anyways. What color did you end up going with?
@KeiRetroGaming the black one, the most important for my is the ram, I think i will need it in the future
I'm just liking and commenting don't mind me
Always nice to see! 🥳
Where did you get that caliper? It’s super cool
It's currently unavailable, but this is the model I bought:

winlator works on android so you can play PC games on the Portal - 1TB would be good to support the games. Yuzu also saves all the DLC and updates (which can get rather large) on the internal storage.
Dammit now I’m really stuck…. They fixed the thermal issues on the ayaneo pocket evo and now this looks clean I’m so stuck
Some 8 GB models have been shipped. Im hoping my Pro model will be shipped soon after. I think this will be the best handheld AYN has released.
Man I love my Odin 2 so I'll defo stick with it. The screen is good but just having OLED would mean all my devices are now OLED but I cannot forgive the size of the Portal, it's too big. Odin 2 Mini is nice, but too small for me. Maybe Odin 2 is just the right size for me :D
You removed all the chapter tabs! 😢
All the timestamps should still be visible. Are they missing for you?
They reappeared when I opened the video this time. It must have been a bug on my end. Great review by the way!
Thanks! Glad they showed up. I always put them in to make long reviews easy to jump around.
Please test the audio lag with blutooth earbuds. I need to know can i use this with my Galaxy buds plus 👍
I don't notice any lag with my Anker A40's on here or my Soundpeats Mini Pro HS earbuds. I don't have any Galaxy Earbuds though.
@KeiRetroGaming but those works just with blutooth connection? And also the lag is noticed when playing games. At least with Odin 2.
Which version are you reviewing?
This is the Pro model. Review units were shipped with 256gb internal storage instead of 512.
@KeiRetroGaming Ok,I order 8gb ram version , but should be ok for PS2, Wii and GameCube emulation ?!
The base with 8GB ram should be more than enough for that stuff. You'll be very impressed! You can still enable the swap file if needed in the settings menu but I think you should be okay.
@@KeiRetroGamingOh that makes sense that really had me confused at 16:40.
First!! My black just shipped. Cant wait. Im subscribing to ya. 😊

@KeiRetroGaming well if ldac is supported that's a good sign that aptx will work too. Thanks for checking dude.
No worries, happy to help!
I'm kinda sad to be one of the first to order a white model. I'll most likely receive mine in February. But yes I am very excited to get one. I'll sell my Logi G Cloud and Abxylute once I get this. Maybe even my PlayStation Portal.
Indigo shipping next :p
This device should replace all 3 of those nicely, good call. The white looks so clean!
wow, looks like ayn really knocked it out of the park with the portal. however i do prefer the smaller size of my odin2, and i'm not bothered by the inferior screen, so no point in upgrading to the portal. great review.
Read/write speed of 600-1000mbs+?! 😮 Even all my gaming pc/devices avg 28mbs 🤦🏼♂️
The buttons and analog sticks don't last and these Chinese handhelds, I went the phone path instead with the same SD8 gen2 SoC and G8 telescopic controller , nice to detach controller for touch screen games
dunno if you can boost the audio in the sound test but its barely audible in the video
Sorry about that... wasn't really happy with how that part turned out. I really need to invest in a better mic for capturing audio on devices exclusively. The SM7B starts hissing if I turn it up too loud.
No game testing on review.. good luck gaining subscribers
If you have an Odin 2 then no need to buy this. Will be the same performance. I have the Odin 2 Pro for 13 months now and my go to emulation console.
The switch 2 got announced. This is old now
Waste of money better go for hand held pc than this.
1. gets 2nd place for “ugly” right after the steam deck - it really doesn't look nice
2. the front is all glass - fingerprints - is a no go for me
3. 1 to 1 the same performance as the odin 2 - only that the thing has 7 inches and a 120hz OLED display
honestly? thats nothing for me...
im still in love with the GOAT aka the Odin 2 Max :)
It's okay man don't let the fomo eat you alive, just enjoy your Odin 2 you don't need to hate on newer releases to justify your purchase you can just love what you have
Exactly. I wish I had your ability to resist FOMO.
😂😂😂@@DrewDragoon
This was never meant for/targeted for people who have and are happy with the Odin 2.
