AYN Odin Pro: Initial Impressions, Size Comparisons, Initial Setup, and Gameplay

Описание: One of the nice things about coming into the handheld gaming hobby later is that there is a lot more to choose from today that will probably be able to play the games you want at a price you're willing to pay. And some of these devices were former top-of-the-line devices that - since they have a little age on them - are available for far less than top-of-the-line prices today.

This video will take a look at the AYN Odin Pro (which I'll call the Odin 1 Pro from now on). Over Black Friday, AYN was selling some of the original Odin 1 models at prices close to a hundred dollars, and if you're willing to look at something used rather than new you can probably beat that. The device in this video is the Odin 1 "Pro" model, which comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128 GB of internal storage. There's also a microSD slot for additional storage.

The original Odin models released two years ago (2022) - how does the Odin 1 Pro hold up here as a budget option at the end of 2024? Let's take a look! We'll unbox the device, get it initially set up (nothing fancy) and try out some games. As always, time stamps are provided so that you can go to specific parts of this long video.
