AYN Odin 3Overview
The AYN Odin 3 runs Android 15 and is built around a Qualcomm Dragonwing Q8. The manufacturer lists UFS 3.1 storage. The Base version, the only configuration covered on this page, pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage.
The display is a 6-inch Full HD touch AMOLED panel refreshing at 120 Hz. The console has Hall-effect sticks and an 8000 mAh battery, and weighs 390 g.
Listed colours are Black, White, Rainbow, Clear Blue and Clear Purple. The official page presents the console as available for pre-order; other specifications (connectivity, dimensions, cooling) are not filled in on this page.
AYN Odin 3Our test
Transparency: the unit we tested was provided by AYN, in its Max version, and we used it for several days before making the test.
The feel in the hand stood out: a “brick” where every element seems in its place, with a ribbed, curved shell that holds well. Our thumbs fall naturally on the joysticks, which are larger and raised compared with other compact consoles, giving much better precision for shooters. We never removed the protective case, it is that pleasant.
The 6-inch 16:9 AMOLED display avoids black bars on recent games, and 120 Hz suits cloud gaming perfectly. Battery life struck us as very good, especially for cloud gaming.
On power, the console surprised us. PS3 emulation takes patience (installation, shader compilation) but is a pleasure afterwards. The Switch is mostly playable, with glitches we put down to missing driver support; the driver developers say they are working on it. Through GameHub we could run our Steam games with synced saves, including GTA V close to 60 frames per second.
The USB-C output up to 4K 60 fps, with a touch display, a keyboard and mouse or gamepads, turns the console into a small living-room PC. Limits: an audible fan when pushed, a 6-inch screen that may frustrate those coming from 7 or 8 inches, joysticks still small compared with those of larger consoles, and a higher budget than other Android handhelds.
What we liked
- 6-inch Full HD 120 Hz AMOLED, no black bars in 16:9
- Careful finish and feel in the hand
- Joysticks larger and more precise than on other compact consoles
- Comfortable PS3, Switch and GameHub Steam games (some driver-related glitches)
- USB-C output up to 4K 60, keyboard, mouse and gamepads
- Headphone jack, very good perceived battery life
What convinced us less
- Audible fan at full power
- 6-inch screen sometimes seen as small by 7 and 8-inch users
- Joysticks still small compared with larger consoles
- Higher budget than the average Android handheld
