I love my Ayn Odin. There are great emulators on Android but also a ton of native games with controller support. With a Play Pass subscription ($30/year) and Netflix Games (which I’m paying for anyway), I have everything I need and the battery last 6h+.
The Ayn Odin has a Snapdragon 845, which is quite powerful but just borderline for PS2 and after. I was sad to see that the new Odin devices are windows/x86, which are more powerful but have shitty battery and shaky sleep features.
Other than the Razer, is there any company working on bringing newer Snapdragon chips to compact handheld android devices?
An actively cooled modern ARM SoC would certainly fit way better for handheld PCs than X86… If not for the need to support decades of legacy software. I believe it will take white a while for us to see X86 go away, and in the meantime, I’ll heavily prefer the X86 handhelds over the ARM ones… But a day will indeed come when this logic flips.
Just for a point of reference. Intel is only just now releasing and creating an uproar over their new core s x86 processors. Which drop hardware support for 32 and 16 but instructions. The newest of which is 30 years old. If people are this upset about a move like that yeah it will be a while till it’s replaced.
