This is the device I'm waiting for

Queue starcraft 2 video

hmm

More powerful than the Base/Pro?

This turned my day around! So glad I backed the Lite! Now, breathing exercises to stay patient...

If you haven't already bought it, it's not $199

Where do I even buy this thing?

@@WackyMatt91 uhh, yeah it is. you can go order for 197 actually if we're splitting hairs.

@@cryengine_x okay, now pay the ~$40 USD for shipping, tack on some sales tax, import dues/VAT if you live in a place that charges them.... It's not $199 lol.

good luck actually paying 199

Anbernic got lazy and complacent.

If they can get a rk3588 handheld out fast enough (before newer/cheaper products are released by competitors) at a reasonable price (not more than 20-30% of a Odin pro or equivalent at release date, with at least 8gb ram), they can still be competitive. That is if the product has the good build quality they are known for in the past and not the shoddy work in the rg503, and that they can release a competent OS or ensure the community is well equipped to do their work for them and release a cfw fast. The rg552 need to get down to

Anbernic got lazy and greedy. They also didn't expand their software team and left improvements up to the community to figure out.

@@samh5886 The RK3588 is still a very immature chipset. Anbernic should take advantage of a Snapdragon 845 or 865. I sent Anbernic two Emails and Sunny Peng said he'll send it to the Technical Director let's hope Anbernic finally makes that definitive Android Handheld we're looking for.

@@jonathonearl482 The RG552 was meant to compete with the RGB10 Max it was never designed to be Anbernic's answer to the Odin. I sent Anbernic an Email proposing a device with specs that can rival the Odin Pro. Sunny Peng said he'll let Anbernic's Technical Director know. Hopefully Anbernic will tease an Android Handheld soon.

That's why I've been telling people this one was the best of the 3.

Exactly why I backed this model. Cheaper and longer battery/quieter. I don't need the 4x res upscale for weaker games/systems and I certainly don't need Linux or Windows although if Ayn unlocks this, I'm sure someone in the community is up to the challenge of a Linux port.

Usability and support for those mali gpus is getting better but still not reliable enough for me. I got an Odin Pro since a month now and absolutely love it.

@@TakiUdon plus we already know that it does gamecube just as well as the SD845 right? Or possibly even better in some games?

@@Thunderhawk8472 yes skyline is almost perfect on this(on the games listed as playable) but mali GPUs get the short end of the stick.

My prototype board is a little jank.

I'm assuming it's an early prototype and not the final result.

yeah, trying to use my switch as a game streaming thing is a terrible experience that has made me wary of streaming

@@-aexc- I've been using Moonlight-Switch and a cpu overclock to get a decent 1080p 10mbps stream

good luck never gettng one lol or wait 300-700 days lol

@@CHICKENmcNUGGIESMydude you sound salty lol. Salty nuggets.

It's not running at all. You can turn it on though.

No upgrade path. One time purchase. Get the Pro. On a long enough time line it won't matter how much you paid for it once. If you don't, you'll just wish more over time that you did.

Yeah get the best one

Don't listen to these guys. Get the cheapest one you can. Save your money for better things, like a Steam Deck. This thing will be fun to tinker around with while you wait for your GODLY Steam Deck to arrive. No need to put any more money into it than you should.

@@Cyko.. 🤷‍♂️

I'm a little appalled at the answers you've gotten so far. Allow me to be a little more sensible about the issue without getting too technical. The Base and Pro are brute force solutions, they exist to get everything running fairly well, no matter the cost, but that cost can be very significant. They run noticeably hot (the chipset), and require the fan on at all times, and it can be heard over lower volume applications on the higher performance modes, with tendency to get louder overtime, as all fans do eventually. They also require a lot more energy to run, so the battery won't last as long as it could. (the battery upgrade is pretty much a necessity, rather than an option) The Lite is a more sensible and refined product. Its the most advanced in features. Its the most power efficient. (by a large margin compared to the base/pro) Its runs cool, and even under load it won't get very hot at all. (Like Taki said, in performance mode (which doesn't seem to be doing anything significant at this time), the fan runs in quiet speed. I suspect that in normal mode it might not run at all (aka. fully passive...maybe)) With that said, lets make this clear. The Lite IS NOT as powerful, and WILL NOT be at the same performance level even with overclock, but it won't be by a significant margin, and it might be irrelevant as far as the applications are concerned, and it will STILL run at lower temperatures and requiring less power even under these conditions. There is good reason to believe the Lite is what the Odin was meant to be from the start, but unsurprisingly there is a market for more higher powered devices, thus the base and pro. Whether the Lite will be enough for you, its entirely your choice on what you are actually going to use it for, VS what you would like it to run like (regardless if you are actually going to do it or not). And BTW, contrary to what another user said, the Lite >>>IS

AND If you order it NOW LOL get ready to wait 6-9 m ore month lol

All transparent models have no LED feature

Did it come

@@anthonygarcia8502 yeah like two weeks ago....it's a blast.. You can check IGG for shipping updates. Or their store page for schedule.

@@anthonygarcia8502 i know Lite and Normal are little late bcs of screen issues..check it

If you ordered a Transparent version, you have no LEDs at all. Well, that's what I was told.

Ever figure it out? 2 years later and no trace of this app exists onl8ne im conviced taki was lying...

Specific to this prototype of the board (version b) that was supposed to be retail. All version b boards have broken HDMI, but this one has that + a bunch of other nonsense.

That would also be my main use case....also would be great to see the ps play app in action. Does it work similarly to the Odin pro?

The trigger buttons worked well on other's review of the Odin Pro. I'm assuming the Lite shouldn't be an issue as well.

Considering it has the same software as the Odin Pro I would say you don't have to worry.

Purely for best compatibility in terms of gpu I bought the Odin Pro and couldn’t be any happier. Those mali gpus still run into some problems

@@Thunderhawk8472 I'm thinking the same thing as well to be on the safer side. The emulators I'm mostly looking to play are the 3DS, PS2 and the GameCube which are on the heavier side of emulators so I think Pro would be a better option. Have you tried any Cloud gaming on your Pro? Do you think the input lag would be noticeable for games like Witcher, Dark souls, God of War? 😅

@@fizzywiz17 my Wi-Fi 5 router is just a mediocre model and I didn’t notice a lag while streaming something from my Xbox Series X. My Xbox also uses Wi-Fi instead of a cable. Both devices been within range of maybe 5meters and one wall away of my router. Also don’t forget about the whole Android 11 SD Card access problem. I played it double safe with the snapdragon based android 10 Odin Pro and still think it was the best decision

ur effed either way pay 300 for the pro and get it within this life time but paying 300 for something that came from china that plays less good then ur old ps3 or xbox is stupid as fawk or get the lite and wait 6-9 month if u even get one this life time lol so either way you look at this its effed china making money wile giving u plastic last year tech no way around that the only thing that is cool is being a reviewr he saids it himself this is not the one ull get shiopped his is way better cause its a review sample and ur is gonn abe way more shit while having to wait a life time with ur money up in the air lol

i dont think ram is the first issue tho yes in general 4gb's of ram nowadays is pretty lackluster. hell some mid-level smartphones from years past have 6 or more. that cpu wil be the first issue

oops my bad i got my cpus mixed up. it depends on how good switch emulators work multi-core.

It has a rumble motor just like the Odin Pro. If it gets a call and it's on silent, it will use that motor.

@@TakiUdon Awesome 👌 thank u 4 your response!

It's not too far off from my Galaxy S21 ultra, that's saying something when looking at the massive price difference. Of course the S21 ultra has a impressive camera. Still the Odin is worth it for either models.

This video here made me glad I already paid for one.

Same question!

It can pre-register.

@@TakiUdon Thanks for checking! Thats good news.

Yeah, I wonder why they changed the shell

competative online shooters on a small hand held you must be high or something lol thats never good bro i tried it one time when i had a switch and tried playing fortnityfuck and it was so unplayable good luck hitting yo shots ur basicly just gonna be a running UI bot perfect if you like nevr getting kills and giving ass players a free target to kill
