We need an Android flip console with a large 4:3 screen, like 7 inches, with a mini version of 6 perhaps. 7 inches in 4:3, for example, allows a 6.5 inch 16:9, while a 7 inch 16:9 screen only allows 5.7 in 4:3. Another point is that a 4:3 flip allows for a smaller size, in this 7 inch example it would only need approximately 16cm, it still fits in your pocket... if it is a 6 inch version then around 14cm. The idea of the flip does not exclude the desire for horizontal consoles with larger 4:3 screens, just the flip allows for a much larger screen without increasing to the sides, in addition to better ergonomics. PLEASE SEND THIS COMMENT TO THE MANUFACTURERS, REPLICATE IT IN OTHER VIDEOS. The goal is for us to have incredible consoles.
@@Leopez02The Anbernic rg cub is basically the Anbernic 556 just smaller without the OLED screen and it’s shaped like a cube. And no it can’t play the whole library of pa2 games. I try running need for speed on there along with a couple of other high-performance games and it just won’t do it.
I would love to see a possible Vita showcase on this device! See how the clone compares to the original on a closer comparison, even though with just this showcase the Odin 2 Mini wins by far.
Steam Deck 2 has to either be smaller like this or make a Steam Deck Go or Steam Deck Mini with good battery life. Right now the final limitation is battery life due to x86 architecture being akin to a big rig/gas guzzler vs ARM chips being like a sedan.
I love the design, PS Vita is one of my favourite. I love the screen and the size. It kinda makes me want to buy it, but I don't like it's android and the price is steep. Do you think we are going to see any handheld with this same design and screen but with steamos?

Totally different use cases guy. Just because you don't see the point doesn't mean there aren't people who this won't appeal to. I sold my Steam Deck for an Odin 2 and have been loving it way more.
Request... Android tablet (or phone) that includes an HDMI out port. There are at least a few inexpensive versions readily available on Amazon, after digging for a while. Apparently some people use those for streaming movies to their big-screen TV. Easier to set up than wireless or USB C to HDMI. Seems one use that has been overlooked is for droning (no lag output to TV), that's my interest. For some strange reason, DJI and other products won't work with a hub connected to your phone/tablet. But using an Android device with HDMI output should work even better. I will find out soon...
@droo9466 I still find it hard to believe a mini-LED can beat an OLED in brightness. Seeing footage showing their brightness sliders would be really reassuring. Edit: So according to this video the Odin Mini 2's brightness is at 100%. Would like confirmation on the Vita. Edit 2: I also find it a bit misleading to use two different wallpapers for the Odin 2 and Odin 2 mini when showcasing the screen. People dont really have any consistency to judge how much better the minis screen is. At best you are unintentionally misleading customers to make an ill informed choice. At worst you are intentionally misleading people with brick and mortar tactics. Do better.
@@droo3010 for it's time it was extremely good. It is infact way better than the regular switch or switch lite screen, despite being that "old" Also "clearer" couldn't be farther from the truth. Mini LED is known for having tons of vignetting and blooming, I know it first hand, because I used a mini LED monitor with over 1K LEDs and I was still pissed off how some content looked really bad. Like having a mouse courser on a dark background will cause a very big area around the cursor to light up too.
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 The Odin series uses snapdragon phone processors and gpu's. So it would be very easy to add phone and 5g capabilities to them.

Why would I want phone capabilities in a small emulation device? It seems a lot of people aren’t aware of the emulation market. These are designed for one purpose.
Nope, it shouldn't be over saturated if they calibrated it correctly. Even so you can adjust saturation in Android. They just list 155% because it sounds cool/might be relevant for apps that support HDR, otherwise it's just marketing junk. Though I suppose it might be possible to over saturate it if they didn't already lock it off with calibration.

With a mini led screen I was hoping this corner wasnt cut, but it is regardless of the screen quality. Really wanted this, still do, ill wait for an odin amoled/oled/mini led with a 120hz built in screen.
Not only will it drain the battery faster, but there are very little Android games that would take advantage of anything higher than 60hz. Plus, it will only drive the price a lot higher than it already needs to be.
@EpsilonChurchRVB Steam deck oled and the ally non extreme both have higher than 60fps, being the same price, 50 bux more, or if on sale less expensive. I already have an extreme z1 ally. While an s23 is expensive, it's android with the same battery it last a long time. 60fps is just standard amongst these types of handhelds now, I get it's not a big company it's just going to work in the same way it did a only a few years ago when all these handheld devices were using the same chip dreamcast being difficult to emulate at the time.
Everything about this device is good except for the price. You cannot price something like this with same range as a Steam Deck, it just does not make any sense.
Since it's android. Do they have a sim card tray? Carrying a controller is annoying. IDK one device. They need to stop with the light wates. more of the powerhouse stuff. CPU and GPU to the max. Mostly so we don't have to buy another every game device just because it's a bit more powerful to run another console.
Some of use don’t want a handheld PC. We want a small emulation device, which this is. I don’t want to play modern PC games on the go. But I do want to play PS2 and earlier.
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 Only money I would put into any of these things is for micro sd/nvme, cases and screen protectors, which would be the same for any of them.

To late? It just came out like 3 weeks ago lol😂
Everything about this device is good except for the price. You cannot price something like this with same range as a Steam Deck, it just does not make any sense.
Since it's android. Do they have a sim card tray? Carrying a controller is annoying. IDK one device.
They need to stop with the light wates. more of the powerhouse stuff.
CPU and GPU to the max.
Mostly so we don't have to buy another every game device just because it's a bit more powerful to run another console.
They will always be a more powerful device. What are you talking about?
whats up with the laud fans. it's getting annoying.
@@ThetaxDeltax the what fans?
@@LuisPerez-5 noisy fans.
Buy a bunch of devices with noisy fans.
Who wants anything noisy.
@@ThetaxDeltax It's not that loud.
Comon i just finished gta san Andreas on my psvita.) My next game wil be buly.💪
is it capable of running original xbox games?
No
I don't think android even has a Xbox emu
@@高橋勲-l1c didn't think of that lol, thnx
@@pepeafa also no Wii U which sucks ass since it is much better optimised than Switch emulators, also no 360 emulator
*looks at the price, realizes its the same price as a Steam Deck, and that a Lenovo Legion y700 is around this price, and shakes his head*
Lenovo is garbage and bet you put money into the deck increasing it's cost
Some of use don’t want a handheld PC. We want a small emulation device, which this is. I don’t want to play modern PC games on the go. But I do want to play PS2 and earlier.
@@Bob_Smith19 I hear ya; cost is my primary consideration. It might not be yours, which is cool.
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 Only money I would put into any of these things is for micro sd/nvme, cases and screen protectors, which would be the same for any of them. As for Lenovo being garbage: are you referring to the tablet in question, or the company as a whole? I can't really address this until I know.
$309 is a fair price for a 8gen2 device.
CoD looks like it had dips..just a minor detail though perhaps.
15:27 wait, the screen auto rotates when you flip it?
can we disable it? looks like a dealbreaker for me,.
It's an android phone, so you should be able to lock rotation in settings like usual
its a phone with controls. of course it has
8:20 it says that u can turn it off
dpad/analog position is an L.
@@mrwoodcat that’s the only reason why I’m sticking to the Modded Vita.
I love the look of it
Anything different between mini LED and OLED?
Yes mini led no burn in. And quality looks the same as oled
@@droo3010 not even close, oled has muuuuuuuuuch better blacks, you would need much more dimming zones in order to match oled, mini led is a lot brighter but it is closer to VA LED panel rather than OLED
Please test switch emulation in this handheld
Go watch the Odin 2 reviews. It’s the same hardware and Switch runs fine.
