Compare with…

A 6-inch 1080p Android handheld on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, with an 8000 mAh battery, analog triggers and HDMI out.
Retro Game Corps ran GameCube, Wii and PS2 at 3x resolution without changing settings, and PSP at 4x.
Retro Game Corps estimated about 10 hours of PS2 at 1080p and up to 25 hours for older retro systems.
At 420 g with thick grips it is a bag device rather than a pocket one; Retro Game Corps also measured slightly higher input latency than rivals.

Questions

Can the Odin 2 run PS2 and GameCube?

Yes. We rate GameCube as full speed and PS2 as most games; Retro Game Corps played both at 3x resolution with default settings.

How are Switch and PS Vita emulation?

Both are some games in our ratings. Retro Game Corps found heavier Vita titles slow or glitchy and called Switch workable but imperfect.

Can I play it on a TV?

Yes. Retro Game Corps found docked play works well in RetroArch, but standalone emulators need controller remapping each time you dock with a Bluetooth pad.

Which variant should I get?

Retro Game Corps considered 8 GB of RAM enough for heavy games, noting Genshin Impact used about 6 GB.
