Description:
Ayn's latest gaming handheld looks like the PSP, nearly as light as one, and features a mini-LED screen.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Ayn Technologies previous handheld, the Ayn Odin 2 , is an excellent Android portable with great performance and control. It earned five out of five stars in our review and set itself up as one of the best PC gaming handhelds on the current market. Now, Ayn Technologies has revealed its next handheld, which
is a new version and a departure from the Odin 2.

There arent too many details on the upcoming portable, but we do know some specs right now, thanks to a report from Notebookcheck . First, the system will only weigh 320g, which is about 31% lighter than the Odin 2 at 420g and 9% lighter than its competition, the Ayaneo Pocket S at 350g.

Its also been confirmed to have a mini-LED screen delivering 1,100 nits of peak brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and a 155% sRGB color gamut. The Odin 2 has also been confirmed to not run Windows, which most likely
means it will run Android as the OS, but Ayn isn't offering a confirmation at this time. This portable might continue the PSPs legacy

Ayns latest handheld is filling an important niche in the handheld market,
one left behind by Sonys PSP, which is easily the tech giants best portable. It was a monster in sales, reaching 80.79 million units sold globally, with the highest sold title under it being Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (4.6
million units).

Additionally, it cant be a coincidence that this new portable from Ayn looks incredibly similar to the PSP and that itll most likely target those who want to play smaller-scale titles as well as solid emulation options for those interested in retro games. Though we dont know for sure, its easy to assume thats the idea when looking at the Odin 2 and how it hits a mix of that audience and those wanting to play the best PC games .

However, this upcoming model is smaller, meaning that performance might take
a hit. But if people can play indie titles as well as AA and emulated retro games and for a much more reasonable price than other PC gaming handhelds
it could end up being a huge hit with those wanting that niche filled. Especially those who were expecting the PS Vita to continue that legacy but ultimately failed.
