This thing looks like a beast. I have the first Odin, and it's a very competent device, but not a powerhouse. They basically threw all the specs at this one and made meaningful improvements to the rest of the hardware. I'm pretty excited to get one.
Hardware looks cool... what do you play on it?
I play mostly handheld emulators on mine, with some other systems sprinkled in. Handhelds have always been my favorite systems, so it's lots of Pokemon, jrpgs on the Vita/psp, and whatever else games I missed growing up. If you want to buy one device that'll do everything, it seems like the Odin 2 is it. It really is awesome having a dedicated device for emulation.
I am way out of my depth with knowledge on android gaming devices, but I for some reason feel that powerhouse android devices would be capable of something much more advance than Pokémon. Am I just wrong on this assumption?
(Happy to be wrong here, I'm just kind of curious)
Nah yeah, they definitely can, I was just saying for me that's what I like doing. The Odin 2 specifically can play up to PS2/gc upscaled to like 1080p pretty much perfectly, 3ds, Wii, and some switch as well, however the android switch emulator still isn't fully optimized. I play smash melee or a match of Mario strikers on mine from time to time just when I have some time to kill.
