The latest announcement from AYN the development team and manufacturer of the Android-powered Odin handheld and the x86 Windows-powered Loki handheld. The new Odin 2, an ARM-based handheld running Android, has been teased, sparking curiosity and excitement among gamers and technology enthusiasts worldwide.

The Odin 2 is set to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, following in the footsteps of the original Odin, which was powered by a Snapdragon 845. The design of the Odin 2 is also expected to impress, with front-firing speakers, separated start and select buttons, two extra buttons on top, and two extra buttons on the back. In addition, the Odin 2 will also feature active cooling, a feature that will undoubtedly be appreciated by users.
However, the biggest question on everyone’s mind is which Snapdragon CPU will be used in the Odin 2. The original Odin’s Snapdragon 845 was already a bit dated when it was released, leading to speculation about the choice of CPU for the new model. To stay competitive in the market, the Odin 2 would need at least a Snapdragon 888 or better. However, to keep the price low and affordable for consumers, it’s likely that a Snapdragon 870 or 888 will be used.
