09 Sep An Android console in the shape of a Switch, ideal for gamers

Android is a platform that offers many possibilities, both when carrying out a task and when playing games, and in this sense, if you are a video game fan, in addition to using a gaming mobile, you can also resort to an old console emulator, which will take you back to childhood remembering games.

While some manufacturers have opted for a normal format for their mobiles, others like AYN have preferred to get closer to a console body like that of the Nintendo Switch, which integrates the controls on the sides and is ideal for immersive gaming. since it is designed specifically for it.

The company has a financing project in IndieGogo for its 3 variants, the Odin Lite, Odin Base and Odin Pro, mobile consoles intended more for video games than to be used as mobiles, and that, despite not having all hardware as current as it might be, it promises to perform well in games and emulators.

An ideal console to emulate and play any game you find on Google Play

The 3 devices integrate a 5.98-inch screen with Full HD resolution and 16: 9, which although it could be a little larger, is enough to get a good gaming experience and

The Lite model integrates a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor, while its older brothers have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, which belongs to the high-end field, yes, for about 3 years. It is the processor that phones such as the Xiaomi Mi 8 or the OnePlus 6T carried inside.

The AYN Odin uses Android as the preferred platform to play

With this console the company makes a rather risky bet, which puts Android in the center of the table as a platform for playing games, and due to the integration with the controller, it takes away from the device the rest of the possibilities offered by the operating system.

In other words, it is a device designed specifically to play games on Google Play or with emulators that allow you to get the most out of your hardware and controls. With the particularity, yes, that the manufacturer wants the device to be an independent console, instead of using your personal mobile to play.
