-------------------------------- I got my Odin Android handheld -------------------------------- 10th-June-2022, Shanghai, Rainy -------------------------------- Last evening, I received my Odin Pro Android game handheld. It's transparent purple color (they name it Atom Purple). Very nice, and I like it so much. It's similar size like Nintendo Switch but bigger than Switch Lite. Made by a New company AYN in Shenzhen China, crowdfunded on Indiegogo.com. They have two major hardware version, one with SnapDragon SD845 processor called Odin Base/Pro, other with MediaTech Dimensity D900 named Odin Lite. I firstly ordered the Lite last September at that moment forecasting will ship in Feb-2022, however when came to this Feburary, seems Lite will got quite some delay, I then decided to order a Pro, as it's first batch is already in production, I was hoping I could get the Pro in March or April. I was mis-calculated, my order for Pro is in Feb where many users are placing orders already, so I got a late position in the pipe. Unfortunately later on, Shanghai impacted by the COVID-19 spread in late March and the lock down lasted 2 month plus. This also affected Odin production as they said one of their PCB manufacturing is located in Shanghai, they were about 2 month could not operate their production. Other vendor is in Kunshan, 60km away from Shanghai also affected but not so sever. I guess the bigger volume production is really in May, and I asked AYN last week, whether my Pro will be shipped, they answered around two three days later, that my Pro shipped, and told that Odin Lite will be shipping around end June. I made some quick setup last evening, and installed AM2R the fan-made Metorid game, this is the first game I want to play on Oddin handheld, as I missed so much playing Metroid games on GBA/NDSL handheld. Thanks to the community, there is Android mod/release of AM2R game. I just wanted to experience the feel of playing Metroid game on handheld. Odin is the most favarite handheld when I looking around. I like the slim design, the back side grip design, the form factor, and its attractive transparent color. After AM2R, I may replay the Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission on it, as well as the Castlevania games. I like this genre most. alright! Until next phlog, stay safe and healthy! -Peter ------------------------------------------------------------ Write with Vim on SDF.org, with tmux ssh connection from my Sony Vario P37J Pocket PC.
