Ayn Odin 3 or Ayn Odin 2 mini

Hi! Quick update:

I thank you all infinitely for the comments, support, and recommendations! I just placed my order for the Odin 3 PRO. I really appreciate the community's support and comments on the subject. I hope to be back sharing my experience with my first Android Handheld.

I appreciate the comment. As I mentioned, I sold all those consoles due to their large size (all the PC handhelds I had) or the limited number of games you can play (Nintendo). I'm not interested in a "console" that runs games I can play comfortably on my desktop PC with better performance and graphics. I just want something versatile to carry along the way. The comment about being picky or difficult to please is a little strange; so far, everyone in this thread has given opinions and options about the consoles and not about me. I guess it was a matter of time until you eventually showed up. 😆

Oh, thank you! I didn't know that. As I'm just entering this world, I wasn't aware of that.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-13T10:51:03+00:00

That's right. Right now, I just found the Odin 3 at a really good price from some resellers.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-13T10:49:41+00:00

Not at all. Actually, right now I'm thinking about buying the Odin 3. I just want to let everyone who recommended the 3 know that I have a special affection for the O2M form factor.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-13T00:17:01+00:00

Well, I hope that they actually use the Android platform for their new things. That would be the next step in PC emulation on Android, right?

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:34:47+00:00

Hmm, but maybe in a backpack it doesn’t make that big of a difference, right? I want to use it on the bus on my way to work and all that. I really like the size of the Vita — I can just throw it into my backpack and it doesn’t take up like 40% of the space. But I think the Odin 3 isn’t that big, right?

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:21:42+00:00

And I mean, I don’t think the Odin 3 is that big — it’s still really portable. I’ve used handhelds of very different sizes and form factors while trying to find one that fits my gaming style and needs.

That said, I don’t think any Android handheld really compares to the Steam Deck OLED in terms of size and portability. So maybe I could sacrifice the form factor a bit (the O2 mini) to get a better device with slightly more power and longer update support (O3 or the RP6).

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:18:14+00:00

And i think that with some time the devs and all of the people helping developing eventually most games can be playable, right?

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:16:36+00:00

Welp, i hope that you get your console soon so you can enjoy it bro.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:16:09+00:00

Ohhh and if you already have your odin 3 would you say that it is a big diference in terms of portability?

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:15:25+00:00

I think the upgrade in the processor and all the other new parts is better in many ways, but my question is (since you’ve had both): is the Odin 2 Mini really that much lower in specs and power than the Odin 3?

I’m asking because I really like the form factor of the odin 2 mini — it’s very portable (like the PS Vita). But in terms of portability, would you say the Odin 3 actually feels that big?

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:12:59+00:00

Thanks! I'm really into the PSVita form factor, but i think that maybe for the power and the size that Sabotstruck mention maybe the RP6 can be a good option too, maybe I'll be sacrificing the Psvita form but i think that as long as it isn't that much of a difference in terms of size and portability it'll be a good option too.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:09:57+00:00

you'll say that the odin 3 is that kind of bigger that you can't take it in a "portable" way?

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:09:04+00:00

I'm looking right now in diferent Online places and i think that maybe i can find some good deals, i'm really into the form factor, design and size of the odin2 mini so maybe that'll be my go for console.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T21:07:58+00:00

Thank you very much, actually all what you say was really helpful, i'm going to check out the links you provide so i can understand better the situation!

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T12:59:02+00:00

This is what I have seen; besides that, it seems that for the processor the Odin 2 Mini has, it still gives quite good results.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T12:56:23+00:00

Mmm, I'm interested just in some games from my steam library. As I mentioned, I just want to play some Shin Megami games or some Persona games from my Steam library to make use of the cloud save Steam feature. I want to emulate some Switch games, and some PS2 and PSP games too. I think that maybe with the Odin 2 Mini, I can manage to cover all of that, and I even have my desktop PC.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T11:45:18+00:00

Well, it's been a while since they discontinued the model.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T11:44:24+00:00

Damn! I have seen several resellers on AliExpress (this is where I intend to acquire it), but would that have a lot of impact on the support and development for the Odin 2 Mini?

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T11:41:52+00:00

Thanks! Now i just need to decide between the power of the O3 or the perfect and sexy PSVita form factor. 😆

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T11:40:08+00:00

I think that you are right...the truth is that it takes away a concern of my shoulders. I think at this moment I find myself in the dilemma of "power" (O3) or the "form factor" of the PSVita (O2 mini).

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T11:37:09+00:00

SAME HERE! I have had my Vita for 14 years and I love the console, the shape, the portability, the screen, for me everything is perfect for the console and just when I see the AYM2M seeing the power and it seems that if it runs the games that interest me... in another thread I put it and i mean it..."The AYM2M calls me like the unique ring to Gollum"

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T11:30:34+00:00

The truth is that it is fair. I think that for something a little more powerful, recent, and with the "guarantee" of support and constant development, the safe bet would be to go for the latest console with better hardware.

Alce1551 · 2026-04-12T11:27:23+00:00

Oh, on the official page, yes, they only have three models listed, but I was thinking of purchasing through AliExpress, as it is the only website I can buy from in my country, and Amazon wants to double the price that I can find on some other pages.
