#AYN Odin 3
1 messages ยท Page 15 of 1
mine is in the country as well, hoping for a Christmas miracle
Mine says it was just handed to local carrier
So I guess itโs now in usps
for me this is when it spends 2 weeks in a local depot when it only took 3 days to travel half way across the world
Parcelapp shows that my package departed original airport on 12/17 at 20:10. 17 track shows departing at 12/18 at 4:10. Either way that's where I've been stuck. No further info from USPS
I reckon one'll be in your local time and one'll be in China time
Makes sense. I'm just ready for that update any time now.
yeah parcelsapp stopped updating when it hit "Delivered to local carrier"
maybe it needs to get the USPS tracking number and it hasnt updated yet.
U can find ur usps # on parcelsapp
Online at the bottom when you scroll down to the info it says next tracking #
yoooo, a fellow Parcel user?
Haha wassup ๐
Any guesses if there will be 3rd party fans to replace the whining fans?
Also: Has anyone played DS1 through Gamehub (lite) or whatever iteration there is. If so, how was it performance-wise?
are you sure that's not a typo 
GOFY ? 
I was thinking something more aggressive
Is there some reviews or section where we could get some size comparison of Odin 3 to different handhelds
Compare specifications, features and performance of AYN Odin 3 vs. other handhelds, and visualize the size difference
My purple max Odin 3 is finally here! Only 8 days with 4PX to Germany (unboxing video on my YouTube channel today or tomorrow). ๐
tpu shell was preorder bonus right?
Yes ๐
Waitโฆ only 4 days from China to Germany ? With 4PX ? ๐คจ
Mine's been over a week, still "In transit,it'sprogressing through delivery network".
8 days ๐
Oh sorry, I misread. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Still, yours was sent last Saturday ?
(Mine was "sent" on Friday but picked up on Saturday.)
got my Odin 3 
Sweet, please make a video of the fannoise, here or on the AYN channel.
there's probsbly one in the RGC video
Yea there are more and more videos of it and it actually is kind of bad, except on the lowest level. Iโm just asking to get more videos of it in hopes that maybe at least one fan isnโt as bad ๐ญ
Mine will be here Monday
Curious if you ordered the grip and if it came with the package..?
yeah, grip and case, also the free tpu shell
I didn't get the bag for buying both the Thor and Odin though. Boooooo.
I fiddled with my Odin 3 a bit, the device itself feels great and the sticks are
, but it's certainly less ergonomic than the KONKR, definitely the right decision to get a grip
fan running high is really audible, like some x86 handheld blasting, not a fan... pun intended
one unfortunate thing is the screen on my unit, unlike on my Thor I can notice some image retention... it ain't something that disturbs in games, but sliding out the drop down menu and then switching to a dark background, you can make out the tiles for a few seconds if you try
also a lil annoying, they didn't turn it off before packaging it, it was in standby the entire time and woke up at the tap of the power button 
tho nothing got warm unlike @runic ferry's KONKR
Haha my konkr was ok in the end. But it does still stink a little of hot foam packaging. Hopefully that will go in time ๐ they are clearly rushing these devices out they are forgetting to turn them off after QA
why was yours even warm, I mean, was it full on running in the package?
Yeah on and running
It was stuck on setup screen.
But vents were covered by packing
It wasnโt mega hot but very warm
I mean, my Odin also was on the setup screen when I tapped the power button, but it was completely cool, so they didn't turn it off properly for sure, but it was in standby, so I didn't had too much battery left 
Better passive cooling ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
โฆSo there is a difference then.
Man, why do they keep acting like mine isnโt a bad batch situation?
definitely, can't replicate this slight retention on my Thor
but tbh, it isn't something horrid, you really have to look for it to notice
and even then only visible if you switch from white spots to black/dark grey backgrounds, something a lot of OLED screens struggle with IMO, like my phone also retains the clock on the lock screen for a few seconds when I unlock it
Here is my purple max Odin 3 unboxing video: ๐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83wDfATR77o
In this video, I'm doing quick unboxing/first impressions of my clear purple max Odin 3. Huge thanks to AYN for prioritizing my order and sending it asap! The Odin 3 has a sleek glass panel on the front, ultra-slim body, excellent ergonomics and contoured grips, premium build quality, and my max modelโs pre-order price was around $390. In the ...
that is really odd to ship these in standby rather than fully powered off
I guess it must have happened by accident while packaging it
this would explain why I never understood the image retention complaints
I was never able to see any image retention on my Thor
always the weirdest stuff with @runic ferry deliveries 
also no bag?
WHERE THE FUCK IS OUR BAG
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE
To be fair, it's a garbage bag.
they promised us a bag, so we demand the damn garbage bag
I use a generic $5 hard case Switch bag ๐
Anyone else's odin 3 having problems downloading off gamehub and gamenative? the link is bouncing all over the place
anyone here in canada that received their odin 3?
DHL is transporting my Odin 3 via horse I'm pretty sure. They left at 10am yesterday, 4hr drive at best.
Still en route
Anyone else's Odin 3 order seemingly in limbo? 4PX tracking shows it "departed destination distribution center" after clearing customs on 12.17, but the corresponding USPS tracking still shows "USPS awaiting item", and it doesn't appear anything is moving. Not sure where it's sitting 
Mine is in that limbo also. Last time it took USPS 7 days to pick it up. Using 4px
Yeah, using 4PX as well. Was hoping it'd make it to my doorstep before the Christmas shipping scrum this week, as that drastically increases the chances of something going wrong. Funny that it avoided the multi-day Nancheng measurement debacle that plagued the Thor, only to get stuck waiting on this side now.
Mine is gofo not usps for last mile
It was sent Yun Express
Mine cleared customs 12/18 and is in Vernon CA gofo โregional hubโ 12/19, no update today
man this thing is a beauty, got DQ11 working beautifly just by copying from my pc instalation
the image doesn't do justice how beautiful this is on the screen
whatsapp comprression suks
Nice....
tried both switch and pc version. Switch has minor glitches but probably consumes less power. But the difference in graphics is so big that the 15gb more is totally worth it.
the game goes to 50fps without cap easily on windows but consume double the power
I even deleted my switch rom. No way in hell I'm gonna use that
My Odin 3, Retroid Pocket G2, and I wish you a very happy holiday season. Thank you all for your support! ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ป๐
this message was brought to you by Moorechip Technologies Co., Ltd โค๏ธ
My tracking updated ๐ all 3 of mine are arriving tomorrow
Of course, it arrives a few hours before I depart for holidays. ๐
It will make for some fun setting up in two weeks.
all 8โฆ
The smell on the case would choke a wide-necked animal.
Lets hope my ultra is real and not a joke ๐ ๐คฃ be funny if its the bag from nicole
gooood.... and you can sell me one of the odin 3s ๐
Yeah mine stank too!
Mine will come just after one week because of Christmas period, but finaly in Europe. But good thing that yesterday i found working NFS Most Wanted 2006 with HD and others mods installation on Winlator, and now playing with Thor and will move with saves too Odin3 next week. Omg how good looking this game now, it is so amazing experience
Took five days but USPS finally pick it up.
Your not wrong ๐คฃ๐
Yesterday, a guy on the RH Facebook was selling an ultra Odin 3 (unopened) and in the photos I saw, he has 6 Odin 3 devices... ๐ฒ
Odin 3 unmarked buttons when???? I hate this Nintendo layout ๐ญ
yeah that's definitely a scalper
Rightโฆ..okโฆ.so
My ultra is real
Max also arrived
Both in rainbow. Not the black i ordered :/
๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Pro coming tomorrow
Oh no indeed
I think my max comes today. Supposedly same color as my review unit but maybe I should check lol.
did you order one black one rainbow? maybe you will get another black, given all the cancellation mails
I ordered pro rainbow, black max and black ultra
that happens when you buy too many devices 
Looks like im getting all rainbow
maybe your pro has a different color too
they may just send you the black parts and you can have the fun of swapping colors yourself 
Anyone managed to apply the screen protector successfully on this?
nobody sane would even buy those
Dare I open them
๐ if i send them back. Who knows when I will get an ultra again ๐ซ
if you open them you will be MisterRainbow 
Maybe this is why my ultra still shows as unshipped
Cats out the bag now as i emailed Ayn to see what to do. Ah well ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
looks like you have no option but to sell me one now ๐
Yeah. Iโd rather own up to it. See what they say. Iโd be happy with a partial refund or something for colour issue. But still be gutted I donโt have a black model. Maybe i will have to buy 3 more now in black
Maybe ๐ lets see what happens
So the Odin 3 has shipped out. What is the new hot device to get hyped over for the first part of the new year?
GammaOS for D8300

but more likely the RP6? first batch is shipping in january.
Ah The odin 2 mini but OLED. 
yep
My Odin 3 vs. Odin 2 quick (specs) comparison video: ๐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyjGWFwuyzU
In this video, I'm making a quick specs comparison between my clear purple max Odin 3 and my clear purple max Odin 2. Please note that this is not an in-depth/detailed comparison, just a quick comparison of the specs to help you decide if you are planning to buy one of these Android handhelds.
Both handhelds are max models (16GB RAM + 512GB...
lmao
you can't make this stuff up
are they really rainbow though
what if they are only mislabeled
risky gamble, open them to find out or send them back as is
alternatively maybe it's time to not be picky about the color and take whatever you get 
Yeah curiosity got the better of me, they are all rainbow. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Waiting on response from ayn. Hoping for a partial refund for the mistake. Seems a bit silly to send everything back. Will just have to get used to rainbow. Maybe get black device next time ๐. i have gone through all the stages of grief now. Im in acceptance ๐ซ ๐ ๐
How big is Odin 3 compared to G2?
how does it feel?
Will the additional length be an issue for it to be compact and fit in most small sling bags?
Wow, that stinks. I guess I should be more grateful that I actually received a black ultra, yet here I am whining about fan whineโฆ
Yeah it sucks. But i managed to get an ultra. So i will try to be grateful. Will see what Ayn says about the colour mix up and hopefully come to some agreement.
Ngl though, seeing people posting their black devices is making me jealous ๐
I feel the answer is clear. Sell me a rainbow one, buy a black ๐
A bit bigger, thicker, and less pocketable than the G2 but it fits perfectly in medium size sling bags (which I use). ๐
it's Christmas, I got my black ultra
time for winlator driver hell
also, I dropped it off the desk already, lucky I have carpet
whoops ๐ any streams today?
Damn 1K I'm interested and I'm from north Jersey area but that's just outside my range was actually looking to see if someone maybe not liking the Odin 3 that might want to trade for a Thor max.
My Odin 3 tracking status hasnโt changed in 5 days
Weโve got your package
Mine and Jaylash's sat for about five or six days before it moved also, it being right before Christmas doesn't help.
USPS says Friday
Mine stuff tends to just get stuck in LA for a while. Still not as bad as my powkiddy brick. That took 7 weeks. To get to me.

Pro just arrived. You guessed it. Rainbow. So I have three rainbows! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ least this part of my order is correct!
MisterRainbow 
Better change my name ๐คฃ
you better do indeed
hey. I was on batch order 3 for the ultra model but it still got shipped like 5 days ago
did anyone have a similar experience? I thought they were supposed to be shipped mid jan haha
Here is my video of the Odin 3 running Dirge of Cerberus at 60FPS, what a beast! ๐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a7la5WYmrQ
In this video, I'm sharing a quick PS2 gameplay comparison with Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII on both my Odin 3 (max) and Odin 2 (max) to show you the performance potential (using the same settings on both handhelds). As you see in the video, the Odin 3 was running the game at a smooth 60FPS (no audio tear/lag/frame skipping) whereas the ...
Ordered on the 16th, shipped the 17th. Was supposed to be here on Friday but came in today. Canโt complain.
I did DHL, yeah. I typically always pay extra for DHL
Not sure why or how it shipped so fast. I bought with the intention of waiting until January lol.
Has anyone played Rogue Leader on gamecube with odin3 - how well does Hoth level run
Indigogo sucks ๐
I donโt think mine will get here till next year
Yunexpress takes like 3 weeks
I don't understand why AYN or any other company still uses IGG. I understand if it's your first handheld
@short gust do you still recommend kimchi v849 8elite driver? Or is there anything better right now?
I used this driver to play:
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC)
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (PC)
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC)
yeap, to me it still is the best. I got working:
- Darksiders warmastered edition
- American Truck Simulator
- Grim Dawn
- borderlands GOTY
- sniper ghost warrior 2
- For the King
- Dragon Quest XI
I bought on IGG but I emailed separately to switch to DHL. AYN is very accommodating if you email them.
Not that it helps you now, sorry to say, but for the future.
brutal
eh some games (RT) better (artifacts fixed) with 842.13 and above
842.19 is latest (OTA: Oneplus15, RM11)
Can Odin 3 be used as a plex server
Can you share what bag is it? Thank you!
turnip
if you can do it on Android you can do it on an Odin 3 (mostly)
so probably yes
Using my shieldtv as my plex server. That chip is ooooold lol
Nah. Got an old Dell 7050 from work Iโll make into the server
do you think they will add a8xx support on turnip 26?
does 842.19 have the same vulkan extensions as v849?
What 8 Elite Gen is on Odin 3?
Gen 1
Sure, this is the one I use ($15). ๐
Apparently colour change requests are linked via email. Not order number. So because my email was used for all 3 orders. All orders got changed to that colour ๐คฆโโ๏ธ they offered me some free screen protectors as a sorry. I said no. Donโt want screen protectors ๐ ๐
What you want, is to sell me one ๐
Haha ๐ soon my friend. Soonโฆ..๐ซ
It seems like iโm not sending them back. So i can finally unbox them
Aww ๐
They made out its for the best I keep them. Im guessing due to the ram shortages. Just trying to establish what they can do as an apology. Screen protectors ainโt it
I'd play devils advocate and suggest not being emotionally tied to a certain color, but you didn't get what you ordered so I completely get it ๐ it does feel a big risk to you sending them back and getting a black unit with the shortages and logistical risks
Yeah I agree. Its not so much the colour. Its the fact I didnt get what I paid for. If they can figure out some sort of apology I will just suck it up and accept the rainbow. Donโt get me wrong. Rainbow still beautiful, but I wanted black ๐ but yeah they are suggesting I keep them. So im guessing due to risk of not getting something back in a decent timeframe.
100% agreed ๐ yeah there is a big risk in both time frame and then running the possiblity of them running into supply issues
See, I'm not torn to colors, the black is gorgeous but I'd be happy with rainbow ๐
I like black as it is good a hiding borders in games. Its a nice optical illusion when the borders blend into the black glass
Minor thing. But why I always get black oled devices. Lesson has been learnt for next time. Odin 4 ๐
agreed ๐ I prefer black for oled too
Crap situation MisterPetey, Iโm not sure what I would do.
Probably scalp those units and rebuy later but that might be delivered in 2 months.
Oh, you got Ultra - crap
don't tell him to scalp, I want one ๐
Yeah i will probs just keep them. Wife is happy as she wanted the rainbow pro ๐คฃ but my max and ultra. I will just accept it. I will blame her for all this ๐คฃ next time I will just order 1
Least I can get on and start enjoying them now
I will update with what Ayn end up doing as an apology for mix up. But hopefully this may cause them to update their system. So we donโt get others in same situation
sounds good ๐ I'll buy the max from you :3
should not have mailed them to change the color 
Noted for Odin 4 ๐คฃ
maybe order with 4 different emails next time 
Least my RP6 will be black I hope ๐คฃ
gotta ask Chris to get you a Rainbow one instead 
what about the Odin 7?
more streaming today @robust chasm? ๐
not
849 has 5 more, but for some reason some games has better compatibility on 13-19
yeah
probably at the weekend
Fk yeah brother, soonโข
I will stay with it until turnip is out then
Is elite chip powerful enough to drive the Odin 3 from the courier warehouse to my house by itself?
For that you need dimensity 9500+
Christmas won't be complete without joy, love, family, and a 60FPS game on the Odin 3: ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ป https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m26PY2BpkaE&t=3s
In this video, I'm sharing a quick PS2 gameplay comparison with Need for Speed: Carbon on both my Odin 3 (max) and Odin 2 (max) to show you the performance potential (using the same settings on both handhelds). As you see in the video, both handhelds were running the game at a smooth 60FPS (no audio tear/lag/frame skipping).
My PS2...
what about the other 4
I wish ๐
Yeah the battery is really good. I've played PS2 Baldurs Gate 2 Dark alliance 2 at 2.5x for 1h and lost only 10% of battery
As someone on the fence this hype is not helping ๐
I just got my Odin 3, anyone else have issues with the screen protector bubbling around the controls? I'm very experienced at installing these and aligned it about as well as I could, but it won't adhere well around the controls.
Yeah everyone having similar issues. Tbh im waiting for 3rd party ones
Mr shield is usually pretty quick at with new releases. I use on most my devices
Yeah, it's pretty bad. Might try some other 6" screen protectors I have lying around to see if they work. Only need to cover the actual screen, don't care about the glass elsewhere
Annoying... I will probably remove it then, if there is no chance the bubbles will go away.
funniest part is, that people where complaining that the KONKR screen protector only covers the screen 
The screen protector for my RP Mini went on perfectly with the all-glass front
The case is quite nice, as are the grips, I didn't know it would include the pouch which I actually like a lot
Thor screen protectors will probably work
Nice, you got it early too!
Yep, not much time until the weeked to mess with it
I'm setting it up as we speak
I thought that covers everything as well?
its mean isn't it? ๐
wait, did they change the screen protector? people were literally complaining that it was just a rectangle for the screen when they gone live with the campaign 
Not sure, the above was taken from the official ayaneo store on taobao, I was checking it to see if can find an alternative for o3
I got my black konkr about a week ago and was rectangle one
https://fxbilibili.seria.moe/video/BV1gNBQBxEN4/ Xbox360 in gamehub
Spending the cozy holiday season with my Odin 3 (max). ๐
My Odin 3 held for a week. Maybe Iโll see it in another week
GameHub has been pretty hit or miss for me so far, a lot of fiddling with settings. Also several games where the controller doesn't work. When it does work, it is pretty cool. Edit: Using the official GameHub, setting direct input to prefer native, and enabling experimental steam controller support fixed my controller issues
For the odin 3, black or rainbow?
Black, @runic ferry bought all the rainbows already 
Haha indeed! ๐ ๐คฃ
btw any response from Ayn already? 
They are still trying to work out how to apologies at the moment. But im keeping all 3 rainbows
They tried to offer accessories. But i got accessory pack with all 3. So not needed. So they have gone to have a think
Grabbed black from a nearby seller, cancelling my konkr order
why would you get 3 accessory packs, oh my god 
Why not ๐ ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Do you need the grip for the 3 or is it ergonomic like the 2 was?
Agreed i like ergo on konkr more
But its not too bad on the 3. Im torn between grip and no grip. Both feel a bit off to me
Is this the same as the grip, or is this something seperate entirely?
I was gonna ask the same question
I think it's different
I haven't opened mine yet
the TPU grip is an extra, the TPU shell is free
Ah got it, may have to order the grip and a few screen protectors from them seperately then
think of the shell as like some protective case for your phone
it adds nothing to the ergo, unlike the grip which makes the Odin 3 bigger than the KONKR 
The stock bumps look pretty decent from pics, or is that not the case?
honestly, Retroid and Ayn need to stop this "lets do shit ergo and sell a grip" stuff
the bumps are okay, the device just lacks in high to make it comfortable
I actually prefer the feel of the tpu shell over the grip ๐
I feel like the grip is a bit too much
Surely its more comfortable than the pocket mini
That thing cramped my hands, and dpad top didnt help
the bag, it is time, invoke the bag
I'm honestly disappointed we didn't got the trash bag
Gimme the bag! Still waiting!
never forget what they took away from us
Maybe i should be asking Ayn for 3 bags as an apology ๐คฃ
Odin 3 no grip is better than RP5 for me, I prefer it as a balance of ergo/portability over Odin 2
well, being worse than the RP5 is hard to achieve
but hands down, a flat back would make the Odin 3 more comfortable
Odin 3 no grip is very comfortable, I expected so much worse because it looked very much like the RP5/G2
Yeah, I found the Odin 3 without a grip to be relatively comfortable. It's still not quite as comfy as the Odin 2, but it's not nearly as uncomfortable as the Odin 2 Portal was.
IMO the Portal beats the Odin 3 in terms of comfort
I couldn't stand the ergo of the Odin 2 Portal, but I guess I'm not a fan of flat-back handhelds.
with the grip? because without the grip it's ass
If I liked the rp5 without a grip, I should like the Odin 3 without a grip as well?
Yes but I'm jealous you could hold the rp5 without a grip and the word like still remain in your vocabulary
Itโs the Thor that hurts my hands
Id never use a thor for dual stick
My odin3 may be delivered tomorrow
Right its finally over. They gave me a partial refund on my max and ultra order for the mix up.
Now to get on and enjoy my handhelds ๐คฃ
Nice ๐ how much did they refund you?
This is where I find all 3 are faulty ๐คฃ
Not as much as I hoped. $5 per order ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ it was the most I could get out of them. So many emails back and forth. Part of me just wanted it over
fair enough ๐ time to sell me one then ๐
Let me buy another in black first ๐
$5 fuckin' hell lol
Yeah ๐ was the best they could do apparently
I was tired tbh. Maybe i should have fought more
Delays between emails were killing me
I guess they knew you wouldn't wanna return them so any discount would do
Yeah ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
It was that or screen protectors. They offered me 3x screen protectors ๐คฃ
I think Miyoo offered me more when they sent me the wrong colour Mini Flip
Oh man those screen protectors are shite lol
Yeah thats why i went for the $5 per handheld
Ah well. Now to buy a 4th black model ๐คฃ
Rainbow is actually fine. It was more the principle that mattered to me
They knew you were never going to return them because we know you ๐
They're watching this chat too
The museum is going to have bit of an odd exhibit now
I got the rainbow, really like it a lot. Looks just toylike enough to be unique while still looking premium, and the color hides the fingerprints really well
Originally ordered the black but I ended up thinking I'd be bored by the look.
what games/platforms you guys using the odin 3 for atm?
I started out with Destiny Rising but became furious at the design of it. ๐
So now I'm playing Wind Waker HD (Wii U) and Unicorn Overlord (Switch) on it.
that's your fault for playing anything to do with destiny ๐ I like unicorn overlord
I love Destiny 2, but I spend very little time on my computer anymore especially for gaming, and Bungie won't stop being assholes about the Steam Deck so I just can't play it anymore.
There is no game on the market with guns that feel as good as Destiny.
Bungie knows how to make an fps.
Yeah. I ordered 1 as i knew i liked it. But as my main i wanted black. So its just getting used to it. Im sure i will be fine overall and like the rainbow. It was more the principle of the messing my order up that got to me
Oh yeah, they messed up pretty bad and it's very disappointing.
They're so accommodating about changes to orders so hearing them mess up on yours is too bad.
I changed my wife's Thor order like 3 times.
Yeah. Well hopefully they will change their system so changes are not linked to email and are linked to order numbers
Every response was like "cool, we gotchu"
I hope so!
You're a weird edge case (no offense, no blame!) because most folks aren't ordering more than one system. But it sucks super hard for you.
Im sure everyone is bored about me going on about it. But least i have some closure now
Yeah i am weird. You only just realised ๐คฃ๐
Nah, we're all weird in our own unique ways.
no man, we are at the edge of our seat about where the remaining 4 Odins are 
Told you
@urban grail did a grand heist
If i did the heist i wouldn't be asking to buy one of yours ๐
bored? oh no, its entertaining ๐

Anybody found an alternative screen protector for the Odin 3? The official one sucks.
Anyone able to get controls to be picked up by Delta Force?
Thoughts on crt-beam on the Odin 3?
I was playing around with mine today and enabled it (I think) but didnโt notice the rolling scan or flashes, but also didnโt see an impact on brightness, so Iโm not sure if itโs actually running.
Exodus 
Is there a gamehub specific discord?
Do you have a guide / resource / tips for how you setup PS3 Uncharted?
Does it run well enough?
A couple popping up on AliE

If you didn't make any parametre changes and you're not seeing the rolling scan, then it's likely that the shader isn't active.
Also on the brightness, try enabling fast forward - that will turn the shader off and you'll see your brightness go up. If the brightness stays the same, that means the shader isn't actuve.
excellent.... get mine nice and setup ๐

The konkr style is my new favorite
Dyed my TPU shell. Much better.
Argh! Black looks so good ๐ซ

Worthy add-on?
For sure i wil probably sell it because there is a thor coming but it works out of the box really well so yeah i would it is worth it
Would be opposite for me. Already have the Thor. The Thor hurts my hands and at least the Odin 3 is running elite
really depends on your tolerance of clunky
At least you can just take it off
it works, it's neat, but it's not super practical, you can't just take it with you in a pocket or on a backpack like you would a Thor
it is good at the job it's supposed to do, just kinda clunky, but if that's not something that is going to bother you then sure
Yeah I donโt find myself using the dual screen so much. Basically just using top screen on Thor
Havenโt been playing 3/ds
then an Odin 3 + RDS for the occasional DS/3DS game might be enough
(by RDS I mean the addon)
Finally started watching my backlog of @robust chasm Odin 3 streams 
I'm new to Artemis/Apollo and trying to get the controller to work/be recognized. I tried changing the controller style to xbox but that didnt work, is there a trick for the odin 3?
Is your Odin 3 the first device you've connected to Apollo? If so then it should have the permissions for input granted already. Any subsequent device you need to manually grant permissions in Device Management on Apollo
There's a section in that guide for troubleshooting a controller not working too, check the contents at the top and you'll see it near the middle of the list
alright, I've been tinkering with this monster for a few days now, I feel like I'm qualified to give my unsolicited thoughts, wall of text incoming
- Clear blue is drop dead gorgeous. I had my reservations about the solid color front going in, but they knocked it out of the park. It feels like a blend between the classy black glass front and the fun transparent plastic color. Definitely a different vibe that the o.g. Odin 2 blue, but it works. Thumbs up to AYN for taking this gamble, it paid off. If you are an always black kind of person, consider this colorway, it's elegant and subdued enough that it might tickle your fancy.
- Ergo is good? I've seen a lot of takes in this channel, from "the grip is a must" to "they should have made it flat". Maybe it depends on the size/shape of your hands, but for mine the ergo here is excellent; the bumps are roughly RP5 shaped, which is to say less prominent that the o.g. Odin 2; but surprisingly I found it works better for my hands than the og Odin 2. For my taste it hits that sweet spot where it's both nice and compact to carry around, but also pleasant to hold and use.
- Continuing on ergo, one question I had on my mind going in for this device was "Can it replace a dpad top handheld like the rp5 for dpad centric games"? Typically on handhelds with dpad bottom, like the original Odin 2 or the Thor, accessing both the dpad and L1/L2 comfortably is a challenge. Dpad centric games tend to use the triggers, so it's not a big deal breaker, but utimately a dpad top handheld is going to be more comfortable when you do need to use the triggers. For my taste, and for my hands, the Odin 3 solves this; this is the first compact dpad bottom handheld I used where I feel like reaching for both the dpad and L1/L2 is comfortable; in fact, my left index finger rests naturally on the left triggers while my thumb is on the dpad. The way I would put it is that, if the o.g. Odin 2 dpad usage is 50% of the way there, the Odin 3 is 90%; a dpad top handheld would still be marginally more comfortable but the difference would be minimal, you can easily forego your RP5 and use your Odin 3 for everything.
- The face buttons are a surprising standout on this device for me. I assumed they'd be similar to the Thor's, which are, you know, kinda clacky and noisy but alright. But no! these are noticably softer and quieter to press, to the point where they go from alright to great. These are the first face buttons I enjoy using from AYN/Retroid since the original Odin 2 (and I have had lots of devices from these people since then). I am really happy that they finally figured out how to make good face buttons again.
- The new sticks are cool. In feel, they feel closer to me to full sized sticks than to switch sticks, they are something like 70-80% of the way in terms of range and finesse. Firing up my usual F-Zero GX test I immediately noticed that I was able to steer more precisely than with any other Android handheld I tried to date. Thumbs up, these are excellent sticks to allow portability and compactness while also increasing range. I hope we see them in more devices.
- Speakers are excellent, maybe slighly less bassy but with clearer mids than the o.g. Odin 2. Really really good speakers, I'm glad they didn't cheapen out here like other brands cough Retroid cough
- Screen is excellent, but you already knew that from the Thor. Notably I am unable to see any image retention, and I've tried. I don't know if I'm lucky or just not sensitive to see it, because I couldn't see any on my Thor either. That being said they have some neat software remedies for retention now, like a "pixel cleanser" of sorts that activates every time the screen spends longer than 30 seconds on the same static image on screen. (there's a typo here by the way, should be "tap to exit" not "tap to exist", unless the Odin 3 is having some sort of existential crisis).
- I haven't found the driver compatibility issues to be a major deal breaker. In my testing it would only show up very ocassionally on switch/pc gaming and almost never on ps2/gc and below. Don't get me wrong, the issues are real and I hope progress can be made in the upcoming months, but it's not anywhere near the point where I'd rather return to the 8gen2 over it.
- Sweet baby batman, what this chip can do is incredible. There have a been a million youtube videos about this so it's very well documented by now, but seeing it for yourself is still impressive. I've tried 24 pc games in GameHub Lite + GameNative (a mix of indies and heavy hitters); of these, 18 worked basically out of the box with decent settings, 3 ran well but had issues and required tinkering, and 3 booted to a black screen. That's a success rate of 75-85% depending on how you count; and mind you by success I mean good graphical settings and frame rates, not "I managed to get it to run at potato settings and 20 fps". Many even ran well with the fan set to "Quiet" without overheating, which is how I would rather play because dear god that fan. Which leads me to...
- The fan curve desperately needs to be improved. Currently you can set it at "Quiet", which is like 20% fan speed, or "Smart", which feels like 70% fan speed. There's nothing in between that massive gulf, which is a problem because in my testing the majority of the heavy hitting stuff doesn't seem to need much more than "Smart", I think a fan speed of 30-40% would be ideal for most people and a lot less noisy. (I hear fan customization options are planned for an OTA so that's encouraging)
- The official Odin 3 carrying case is too damn big. It's the same problem I have with all carrying cases from Retroid/AYN lately. I get why they do this (increased protection) but I just want something that is comfortable to throw and carry around in a backpack, I don't need military level protection. To put it into context, the official o.g. Odin 2 carrying case is smaller/slimmer than this one, despite the device being bigger.
- The joystick caps are kinda slippery. Minor nitpick, but if you play something where you have to twist the sticks quickly, you can feel the thumbs don't really stay in place. A glossy plastic finish in the interior, like the one used in the sticks of the Steam Deck OLED, would add that missing grippiness here imo.
It's a pity that the Thor overshadowed this one, because I can confidently say that this is the handheld of year for me, and perhaps the best Android handheld ever made. The negatives exist, but are very very minor, and the generational leap that this chip brings to the table is nothing short of groundbreaking. In the same way that the Odin 1 disrupted the scene and raised the bar for everyone else, and in the same way that the Odin 2 would go on to do it again, AYN has once again done it with the Odin 3.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk, buy my book
(might post to reddit later, so don't be alarmed if you see it reposted)
That makes me really want to just buy an Odin 3 if I could reading that.
Very happy to hear you like it so much.
That said, after seeing EmuReady game compatibility and a couple of videos, 8gen2 is more than plenty good for my needs, so at this point it's moreso between a refurb Odin 2 Max and an RP6 for me
Would be a far easier choice for me if the RP6 had a 16/512 sku
I'll wait and see how much xmas money I get from my dad the first week of January
I didnโt realise you got one Blob, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
While I had manually installed the Bus Driver, the guides suggestion to uninstall and reinstall Apollo was the fix. Thanks for the assist!!
I agree with you on pretty much every aspect here - it replaced my Odin 2 Portal before I even turned it on, and will likely replace my Pocket S2 Pro as my favorite high-end handheld. The Odin 3 is insanely good.
It's my first Android handheld and it's probably unfair to everyone else because the bar has been set really high.
I've been looking for something that would play lightweight stuff and emulators, but was comfy and easier to carry than my Steam Deck. The Odin 3 has an been incredible device for me.
And I've barely put it through it's paces. I have Wii U and Switch games installed, and I've played Unicorn Overlord for a couple hours, but weirdly the system I'm putting the most time into is Dreamcast. The screen is gorgeous.
I don't think it's as comfy as the Odin 2, which has been my high-bar for a while, but it's slightly more compact while greatly more powerful. Also OLED.
day 10 of my local courier just holding on to my odin 3....
Have you called and asked about it?
Love my blue, I usually get white colorways but this blue is so nice in person way better than the pictures
I guess I shouldnโt feel too bad mines only been out for delivery for 4 days
you're making me very jealous and wishing i had one, damn you ๐
didn't order one yet? what's the hesitation 
Anyone someone see if they can get AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) working on their Odin?
It wonโt install for me.
budget and having too many devices already ๐
you should do like I do and tell yourself that you are totally going to cull your collection after this one and then proceed to not do it
Haha ๐
(I really need to start selling my shit, but it's work)
it is so much work
Appreciate the detailed breakdown. I ordered the TPU grip but would love to not to have to use it!
I don't see myself ordering the grip for this one, I think it's perfect as it is and the grip would only add unnecessary bulk
for me compactness is important because I already have x86 handhelds like the steam deck if I want something big
For me ergos are everything. Why I originally ordered the Pocket Fit Elite but with all the shipping nightmares I cancelled it. I have a Legion Go S and love the ergos on that but I wanted something small / portable that's more powerful than my RG406H
god damnit

guess im not gonna be an odin 3 owner afterall
oof
guess i might have to do a chargeback
Dude, that sucks bad. I'm glad I paid a little extra for DHL now.
havent had a problem with them before. but i guess ill keep this in mind from now on
How much extra is DHL compared to the cheaper alternatives?
for me its like $20 more
i think before, the main concern with using DHL was a higher chance of duties
i just checked my local Marketplace for any Odin 3's and theres none listed. So that's a bit reassuring lol
I did the cheaper option on mine as well but Iโm in the US so it was a different company, also a little worried nowโฆ.
Well 4PX doesnโt have much better ratings, great now I get to stress for a month or so until I get my unit (being optimistic) ๐ฌ
How long does ayn take to usually ship stuff they already have in stock from when you order?
If ur in CA, my o3 took 9 days with 4px. Last mile carrier was usps
my last mile is gofo express and they're terrible
For me it came usps for the last mile and took about two weeks. 4px quality varies greatly depending on where you are and which last mile carrier
Thankfully I changed mine to DHL after comments on this. It shipped on the 26th and is arriving today. DHL is the last mile carrier. Which is pretty nuts.
Yeah Iโve had DHL get to me from China in just a few days before
I am in CA! Hope restored!
Was that also DHL? And did you have to pay customs/tariffs with DHL?
yun express
CA as in Canada or California 
a couple days, but neither the Odin 3 nor the Thor are in stock for on the spot orders right now
I'm not sure that's completely accurate? I ordered on the 23rd and it shipped on the 26th.
ok, "officially" it's not in stock, but depending on the color/configuration you buy you might just get lucky
is it just me or is the screen on the Odin 3 better calibrated than on the Thor?
it looks slightly better to me but maybe it's just placebo, can't say for sure
I order a grip, buttons, and screen protector over the weekend, was hoping it would ship out today
Cali, tough luck to be you rn lol
Just finished my first game with the Odin 3
Baldurs Gate - Dark Alliance 2
Pretty good game
hopefully my odin 3 arrives like this this week. as an unexpected surprise
we need a new powerglove
they should bring it back, like how they brought a mock virtual boy back
we need more wizard gifs

i can hear this gif in my head
can you imagine actually playing SMB3 as a brand new game for the first time in a competition
and somehow getting the flute
Didnโt you have to drop down behind the game on a white platform? How tf would anyone know to do that
thats why he was called The Wizard
