What it plays
Every rating links to the review or table it comes from. A system with no rating has not been tested by a source we use, which is not the same as not playable.
We rate Switch as some games. Retro Handhelds ran several titles but says compatibility is still being worked on.
How is it different from the Odin 2?
It moves to a Dragonwing Q8 chip, Android 15 and an AMOLED screen in place of the Odin 2's IPS panel. Retro Handhelds found it slightly shorter with gentler grips.
Does it have video out?
Yes, our record lists USB-C DisplayPort output.
How big is the battery?
8000 mAh, the same capacity as the Odin 2, with 60 W charging per Retro Handhelds.
