The console comes at an appealing starting price of $299, offering variations with 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB, and 16GB+512GB storage options to cater to diverse user preferences. The pre-release glimpse reveals a 6-inch display screen.
Compared to Windows handheld consoles with AMD or Intel processors, Ayn’s Odin 2 is notably budget-friendly. Its affordability, paired with powerful features, makes it a competitive option in the market. However, specific details about configuration and release dates are currently undisclosed.
For reference, Ayn’s earlier Odin series, launched in 2021, introduced models like Odin Pro, Odin Base, and Odin Lite.
The Odin Pro model, powered by the Snapdragon 845 chip, offered storage variants of 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB. It featured a 6600mAh battery, USB-C and HDMI video output ports, WiFi-5 support, and a 5.98-inch 60Hz LCD display boasting 1920X1080 resolution. The device also boasted dual speakers, TF card expansion, and other features.
As Ayn continues to innovate with its Odin series, the Odin 2’s integration of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and its cost-effective starting price are poised to attract gaming enthusiasts seeking quality gaming experiences on a budget. While awaiting further details, users can look to the previous generation product for an idea of what to expect from the upcoming release.
