Oh, my fault, I thought you were talking about the AYA NEO Pro, that one is quite expensive. It's the one I first backed before switching to the OneXPlayer.
The Odin might really be interesting for emulation only instead of carrying around many devices. The RG552 comes with a 5 year old chip, has shitty firmware which the company seems not to care about at all, that's pretty lame, they might lose some faithful customers because of that, plus it's very expensive. I was waiting for it to come out and buy one, but latest reviews really showed my the weaknesses and basically told me off.
But thanks for reminding me, I actually ordered one Odin Pro now
Btw, I also pre-ordered the Retroid Pocket 2+ in the 16-bit look version, it looks very nice, is quite affordable, and seems to be quite powerful too.

Yeah it is a bit confusing the two company names AYA and AYN. It confused me quite a lot to begin with.
Great you have ordered one. I've still not yet because I already have a Steam Deck preordered but I've been looking at the Odin since early information so will most likely buy one.
And yes, the Anbernic RG552 is receiving some quite bad reviews. Build quailty doesn't seem up to their usual standard, with reviews saying the plastic case flexes when being used. Like you I was going to buy one as their previous systems have been so good. But the move to Android hasn't helped, although you can dual boot it into Linux. But the old chipset and price don't make a lot of sense when you put it next to the Odin Pro.

I was tempted to get a RP2+, as I already own the original RP2. But with the Odin coming out I don't think I would use it much. Although the smaller size is good for putting in your pocket. The right slide stick is a bit annoying too, compared to a full analogue stick. The new frontend GUI is a massive improvement though.
