One of my biggest annoyances with the mostly-excellent Anbernic RG35XXSP is that it has rather loud and clicky buttons.

Big EmuDeck Update! Sega Model 2/3 and more
Too bad it's so expensive...
I ordered the odin 2 pro last week, do you know when it will arrive, also can return my rog ally (in the first 60 days with best buy) and get the rog ally x and I should be set. I love all of your videos and thanks for all of your work.
Soo, wait for the Odin 2 Mini OLED ? That screen is almost like a downgrade if anything.
Lets have your full review of the RG Cube my man
Greetings Russ, I’ve been watching many of your videos on repeat lately, just trying to find out which retro handheld I should get my hands on. It’s going to be my first retro handheld and I’m looking between RG35XX H and RG353PS. My quick question is, which one do YOU prefer(your favorite)? Let’s say I can afford just one but I can’t decide which one. Always love your videos, very informative and entertaining! 😊
Thanks for the review(s)! I Feel much more confident in not swapping my Odin 2 for the mini.
That's what she said.
I sometimes wonder why people would buy blatantly dubious things off Amazon like loaded rom cards, etc. Every time I buy anything off Amazon, Facebook knows immediately what I bought and begins bombarding me with ads. We literally live in a world where people put themselves on record in obvious ways. Nothing is under the table anymore. One day the AI will scrape the internet and half the population will have a -$9999999 bank account from past transgressions.
Thank you for the review. I was on the fence about buying but decided to hold on to my Odin 2 pro because I am not a fan of the overall design of the Odin mini. I am older and i appreciate the bigger screen. But I do like the brighter screen of the Odin mini but bigger battery of my Odin 2 pro is a plus for me. Great I am saving my $400 for something else.
Would love a comparison between the Odin 2 mini and retroid pocket 4 plus
IDK if I'm missing out by sticking with my Q2 SteamDeck, but just to keep it simple I'm fine with waiting for the SteamDeck 2. All these new devices release way too frequently
I have been in love with my Miyoo Mini and a lot of it is because of the GameSwitcher in OnionOS. Knowing that feature is now on Anbernic devices makes me interested in checking them out!
Russ is graying 😢
Easy skip for me rp4 pro wins in that category, then a steam deck
I was ready to buy the Mini but you just talked me out of it! I guess I’ll wait for something better! Thank you
Damn, i was really hoping to get a latency testing somewhere, that's where the odin 2 and retroid pocket 4 fail hard for me 🥲
One of my biggest concerns was the battery temps... So I'll buy the Odin 2
i hope odin can make a 7 inch screen android device with the same size of odin 2
I was solely going off of whether it could play rogue squadron 2. :(
nono I think 5 inches is way above average personally
ordered one last week should be here soon
Just waiting for an Odin 2 OLED
one thing i was hoping you'd do is a side by side of the mini against a retroid pro 4. one of the main reasons I didn't get the odin 2 was the size, so if the odin 2 mini is the same size as a retroid pro 4 it raises interesting questions
I compare the two in my impressions video, around the 16-minute mark! ruclips.net/video/IRZ4obIit_s/видео.htmlsi=DVVuYLtN2uEF71or
Black for me!
Just ordered an Odin 2 for the ergonomics but I fully expect that I will eventually getting a mini because the Vita has always been one of my very favorite handhelds.
3:50 lol I'm not paying a "premium" for a smaller screen, less battery, and worse thermals. Nice try, AYN. This should have been like $249.
I dislike the screen situation.
Hey Russ, love your videos! My question is there has been some talk about a new OS for the A30. Are you anticipating a firmware release soon? I actually like this handheld, but the performance is hampered as you have reported. ✌️
I have an Odin 2 Pro and a Steam Deck and as much as I love the Vita form factor, I think I'd be more likely to buy an Odin 3 Mini than a second Odin 2 (for me to not really use anyway)
I feel like screen size shouldn't be included in the "best than/worst than" comparison. This is something that comes down to personal preference for all of these handhelds, even dating back to the GBA Micro. If you consider something smaller and more sleek for gaming on the go, its the same as looking at the Miyoo Mini vs. Mini+, the rg28xx vs rg35xx/SP, etc.-- different sizes, same exact internals, just comes down to preference (admittedly nostalgia factors in heavily for the newer Anbernic line as they've aped all the original GBA designs). Ultimately when buying an item called a "mini" handheld it should be blatantly obvious that the screen will be smaller-- and for a multitude of reasons, this is something people may actually view as a positive, unlike worse battery, heat output, etc. That's just a tiny nitpick, though, for an otherwise great review. Other things I'd have an issue with like, reachable controls or layout, were explained thoroughly and with video evidence to compare. It's just the screen size being in the negative column that makes me wonder how the comparison is even weighed objectively.
I never owned a hand-held console so hard that, when I got Pokémon Blue, my parents gifted it to me with the SNES cartridge to put Gameboy cartridges in. Why am I watching this? Maby one day... P.S. : RIP Yuzu.
Is there any info on when they will start shipping? How long shipping will take? I preordered on the 24th don’t remember when they started taking pre orders
Did they get Playstore device certification? The original Odin 2 doesn't have one, and it could cause a login issue for some game like COD Warzone.
I watch all the videos if every time gonna have grab a snack and drink Iam soon going to be fat 😂
Yeah, it really sounds like purchasing an Odin Mini 2 is matter of preference. Really unfortunate that AYN isn't selling an ergonomic grip to compliment the device though.
So which one is easier to repair?
Dam lol. Everything struggles to play killer instinct arcade.
This is a beautifully well done device but not for $400 fucking dollars. When things like rp4 exist. I know this is more powerful but its also double the price.
the onexplayer x1 is 10.9 inches
I was considering the Odin 2 Mini but now I'm more convinced that I still want to get a RP4 Pro and am excited when I can do so. Also excited to hear about your trip to London!
I wish they'd kept the screen size of the Odin 2 while still making it (slightly) smaller.
It's always so weird to see Turnip Boy in a video or advertising. Went to college with the two that made it - awesome people and really glad to see them succeed. For the sequel, they worked so hard on it that they even moved in together while making it!
I think personally this appeals a lot more than the Odin 2, not only is it way more visually appealing, but also I want to be able to use android devices on the go from my pocket, otherwise I'll just use my Steam Deck. Thanks for the in depth review.
Dude, for 400 bucks. This is a HARD sell. Its basically the price of an already modded Switch OLED or a Steamdeck. Both are way way way better systems. Its hard to justify. If it were 300. Possible. If it were 200. STEAL. But 400 is a hard sell.
now we need xperia play like handheld console
Any chance for a giveaway? Honestly, Cant afford it ..
I am here once again to watch a review for a device I do not need and cannot afford
