The Ayaneo Pocket Evo: Is it an Odin 2 killer?
At $60 range, the anbernic RG 40XXV is a no brainer... They need to replace those sticks, but overall anbernic is the best option on the market in the $50-$80 and $150-$180 segment.
It is a good deal for the kind of handheld they offer. I am a Trimui Fan but if i had to choose in this comparison i would choose the V for that larger screen mostly. Thanks for watching
I'd buy the RG40XX V so fast if the analog stick was like the ones in the 406V/H. I'm sure they will release more consoles on the XX series with this new stick tho, so I'll wait :)
I know there was a software fix for the Analog sticks on the MuOs Bannas custom firmware but it would require installing a completely new OS. They have released so many xx handhelds i cannot imagine how they would do more but they keep suprising me in that regard so it seems your hope is not completely unfounded. It would be cool to get a horisontal or vertical xx version with better sticks though. Thanks for watching.
The Brick has two speakers.
True, but the sound quality is inferior to the RG40XX.
@@gustavo9758 I'm not so sure about that. I have had a few XX series handhelds from ANBERNIC and I found the sound to not get loud enough. Which is why I gave all of my XX ANBERNICs away except for my RG28XX. I replaced the XXs with other handhelds like the Trimui Brick and ANBERNIC 406V. The 406V, even though it's a portrait, it has 2 stereo speakers that sound phenomenal. While the sound of the Brick isn't as good as the 406V, it does have a higher volume control level lacks a little bass to some degree but sounds just decent enough.
From the reviews i've seen it sounds comparable to the 40XXV, i have not had hands on though so i can't say 100% for sure which is the best. Thanks for watching though
Wondering if someone has a good vertical console with good performance in PS2 games, with 2 sticks and with the same size as on video? I saw on Anbernic RG406V, but it has a bigger size.
Hi there, if you specifically want 2 sticks your options are limited. The Rg405 or 406V are the only ones i know of that fit the above description but they are very chunky. Ayaneo has a unit called the Pocket DMG that has a extremely powerfull chip that will play PS2 brilliantly but it is roughly 6 times the cost of the 40xxV at around $340, and it only has 1 stick. You can check out my reaction to its launch anouncement at this link if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/ucZCXqwAHY8/видео.html
I like the cube
It is pretty awesome
Nice breakdown! Or should I say.... BRICKdown?? 😂 Sorry. Haha. Seriously though, this was great summation of each device. Good job.
Thanks😁👍 much appreciated. The brick is a pretty solid device so it wasn't too hard to "build" a proper overview with all the great reviews out there😜. I see you did a review aswell, gonna check it out asap
Solid video, I always like what you put out. Couple things, TrimUI CPU isn’t behind the screen (check my breakdown video) or I guess metal back plate. It really doesn’t get much warmer than most handhelds esp this thin as you are feeling heat from the display. The RG40xxV is one of my favorite handhelds this year but the Brick is the best EDC handheld as the RG40xxV is a little wide for most pockets with that 4” display.
Appreciate the info, I'll check out your video, thanks for watching! 😁👍
Only 1 GB? Dissapointing. I don't know much about that cpu or anything at all tbh but just 1 gb ram? I guess just play anything that's gba,snes,nes or just easy to emulate systems ( anything that's not using a disc ).
Hi there, yes unfortunately for the price these units come in at you cannot really expect anything more. The processor (if the runmours are true) has been used in some other handhelds so you should even be able to play some disc based games like PS1 and some PSP but the 16:9 format content will not be great on the type of screen this will have. You should also be able to play some Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo 64 games aswell. There is a whole world of these to suit almost every preference. The more expensive ones can even emulate up to PS2 and Gamecube and do things like run PC games through the winlator emulator. I cover a lot of them on my channel. Thanks for watching though,
@@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh Which ones do you recommend for Gamecube/Saturn etc.? I currently have a retroid pocket 4 pro. I can say it was really worth it.
I choose the asus rog ally x🤙
Nice! Enjoy it.
Bigger screen is important. Thanks for making this short because i had no idea of the size differences
Its a pleasure😁👍
Which device would you prefer
Hi there. Personally if i did not have a 405V already and i am buying for the first time i would go with the 406V, it is more powerfull and will be able to play more games smoother. Hope that helps let me know if uou have any more questions and thanks for watching😁👍
@ Yes, thank you very much
сравни и скажи про прошивку CrossMix v1.2.1 какую стоит установить батосера или CrossMix v1.2.1 ?
Привет, спасибо за предложение. Я постараюсь сделать видео на эту тему как можно скорее. Спасибо за просмотр
i got a pocket pro 4 and i love it but the bigger screen on the pocket 5 will probably help me out in like cod mobile type of games where a bigger screen is better lol even though its not by much im debating on upgrading or just waiting on whatever comes after the pocket 5 if anything
It is not a massive leap in perfromance between these 2. The RP5 looks much better and from what iu can gather the screen does make more of an impact. I would ays it would be worth the upgrade if you can sell your RP4 pro and cover at least half the cost of getting the RP5 if not you might be better off getting something like the Ayn odin 2 if it is not too bulky for you. It is more expensive but it packs a lot more punch in terms of performance. Thanks for watching

I was stuck between the two but i was able to get the rp4 pro on sale black friday for 165 including shipping i just had to.
It's always great to grab one of these on sale!
If you have the money and want peak emulation, go for the odin-2 !
The odin 2 is defintely veey good value at $300. Would love to own one.
tq
Pleasure
Man I'm REALLLY on a budget right now I'll go for powkiddy Since it has the powers to emulate ps2 amd gamecube games.
Some Ps2 and gamecube yes, unfortunately not all. But i agree it is still good value for the price
if i will not play psp games rg 40xxh is better? i like the size of the rg 40xxh,i think the tsp is too large for nds and n64
The 4:3 aspect ration on the 40XXH is more convenient for that kind of content and it is smaller and more compact than the TSP so if those factors are imporotant to yuou it may be the better option, at the end of the day its up to you as you. Hope you ebnjoy it. Thanks for watching,
Grabbing a Retroid to be my throwback machine PS1 Era and before. And the next evolution of Odin w/ OLED will be what I get next, I just can't go back to not having a lesser screen after gaming on an OLED
Oled is awesome from what i have seen. Would love to have an Anbernic Rg556 with that Iled screen. Enjoy the RP5 and thanks for wathcing😁👍
Timestamps would make your Video even Better! Put them into your Description 00:00 Intro 01:00 Specs 05:00 XX
Thanks for rhe suggestion, habe been playing with the idea. Just haven't actually done it yet. Gonna get there. Tha ks for watching though
Thanks for this!
My pleasure!
Odin is better due to the stronger processor. Thats all. Oled is fine but... more power more emulated games
If i could get the Odin at the same price i would totally agree with you. But the fact that the RP5 can do almost everything the Odin can at roughly $80 less has me looking toward it. I love the idea of the Odin 2 though, if i had the extra bucks i would definitely consider it. Bear in mind this is coming form a purely theoretical standpoint based on the research, so you may just have a point. Thanks for your feedback.
Changing the distro (emuelec to arkos or other) wouldn't it work using a wifi dongle?
Possibly, but i can't find any info that confirms that. Thanks for watching though.
how about the functions for NDS?
Hi There, it is possible to play Nintendo Ds on the device but there is no touchscreen input as far as i am aware so that may make some games difficult to play. As far as perfromance go's check out this gameplay video by Retro Handheld Guides for an idea of what it would feel like: ruclips.net/video/Zwz5co5fJqA/видео.html. Hope that helps, thanks for watching.
Powkidy is a good budget handheld. Been in one for the last 2 years . I tend to loose stuff cus I'm often medicated so the day it happens it no big loss il just order another. This Christmas I'ma "upgrade" and get myself the R36S because I seen it supports more emulators. Happy gaming my friends
The R36S is a great option that will play up to PS1 well. The V90 is also definitely a good budget device if you dont want to be too worried about damaging or loosing your device. Thanks for wathcing
Okay, I have a surprise dilemma this black Friday. I was all set on the retroid Pocket 5 and that's what I wanted. I won a 100 dollar off coupon for Ayn for the Odin series in a drawing. I am now at a loss. Should I consider an Odin 2 or Odin mini over the RP5? I never looked into the Odin series due to price but now it is within reach. What does everyone think? I need to know by Dec 2nd!
Odin 2 without question. For me the only reason to get an RP5 over an Odin 2 is to get the GC color variant which is pure novelty.
Personally i would say get the Odin 2 if you have a coupon that puts in in the same price range as the RP5. Once again this is purely from a analytical viewpoint based on the research i have been doing as i ihave not had hands on with it. Based on what i know though the Odin 2 is just more future proof and will run everything better. It also has a much bigger battery so you will be able to play longer. It is bulkier from what i have seen but the RP5 isn't super pocketable either. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Where can I enter such drawings? Im looking for deals on the AYN odin 2
Hey thanks everyone for the input! Did decide to get an Odin 2 pro! The response was overwhelming and I think I will really enjoy this device!
Hook it up with the ayaneo coupon!
RGB10MAX3
I am leaning in that direction aswell if the price is the same. Thanks for watching.
Hey man, I just got mine today and popped in the SD card it came with. I’m not looking to do anything fancy. But how do I get to the games? I have no clue what I’m doing lol
Hi There, I have not had hands on with these devices yet but im going to try and do my best to help based on the research i've been doing. From what i've seen If you bought the unit with a gamecard full of games you should be able to pop it in boot up the device and once you've gone through the initial android setup swipe down and choose the "Game mode" option to get into what is called Anbernics frontend. This is basically an app through which you can launch all your games. It should have a lisgt of systems that you can scroll through so if you want to play PS1 game for example you would scroll to the Sony PSX icon and it should take you to a list of games to play. The naming is usually abbreviated so it can be confusing. Joey over at Joey's retro handhelds has a detailed setup guide that he did on the RG556 which is the larger horizontal version of the Rg406V and it should be very similar with the 406V. Yo ucan view it at this link: ruclips.net/video/P47nDBgtoLE/видео.html. Hope that helps.lety me know if you have any other questions and ill see what iu can do.Thanks for watching my video.
Did you find the games? Im stumped too
Hi there. Have you tried the steps i suggested in my reply to @cruiser above? Also be sure to check out the setup guide done by Joey at Joey's retro handhelds above, link in the repky above. If you're still not getting anywhere. Lemme know and i will do what i can to help. Thanks for watching

Trimui smart pro retroid pocket 4pro❤
Those are awesome consoles
Trimuipoi smart pro
It is my personal preference in this comparison aswell.
Odin 2 is future proof
Agreed that is one of its advantages.Thanks for watching.
Which one I have to take ????
Hi there, it really depends on what your circumstances are. If you have enough to get the RP mini i would say get it as it has some noteworthy advantages over the cube. If your a bit strapped for cash the RG cube will serve you well aswell as it can play most of what the RP Mini can play. Just note due to its screen size you will probably have back bars at the top and bottom of the screen if you want to play 4:3 content such as any old Nintendo SNES or Sega games. Hope this helps if you have any more questions feel free to ask.
I already have a Switch Oled but I will use it more for the best titles. I'm thinking of buying a Switch Lite or Retroid Pocket 5 to be used in a more portable way and play platform games or this style of games. Do you recommend Switch Lite or Retroid Pocket 5?
I honestly don't know much about the switch lite but the Retroid pocket 5 is a good choice if you want to play older console games from multiple systems. You can play the likes of Sega dreamcast , Sagea Saturn, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo. Gameboy advance, gameboy and of course playstation 1 and 2 titles. Also from what ive seen you can play some of these via a nintendo switch lite or the likes of capcom online subscription but not all of them. So personally i would rather recommend the RP5 jusgt be aware thoug hthat the RP 5 comes only with android pre-installed so you will have tpo do some setup to get rerto games working if you choose that option.
ignore the haters great wee vid
😁👍will do. Glad you enjoyed it
😮
Are you able to run a gameplay the RP2 the game ESPN NFL 2k5 (its a football game). If you can I'd appreciate it. And if i choose to buy, ill use your link.
Hi there. My videos are unfortunately not a hands on experience but rather a summary of sum of the top reviews out there mixed with research and my opinion. So unfortunately i don't own an Rp2s. The channel is a abit small to attract review units and i just don't have the cash to buy these at the moment. So the gameplay you see onscreen is just edited in to make it look more interesting. However i did some searching and i found the attached video showcasing over 100 PS2 games that are being played on the RP2+. This should at least give you an idea of what kind of gameplay the unit can handle. Here is the link if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/I9EzDRR90Vo/видео.html. Sorry i could not be of more help.
Rp5 is the perfect size for functionality, portability and screen to body ratio
Yeah it is pretty compact. The Odin 2 is also nice but it's a bit big. Att his stage i am leaning a bit more toward the RP5 in terms of value, but the good battery life on the odin 2 keeps me looking back toward it. A bit torn honestly lol
That's what I was looking for. I don't want to carry a brick around
@@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh was gonna wait for the Odin portal but what swayed me toward the RP5 was the screen size, clean look, and price point. Already have a switch so don’t need to emulate the big games but love I can still emulate it.
@@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh I would go with the device that fits more comfortably for my hands and doesn't compromise portability inside a jacket. It's really difficult to decide between these two devices, they have their own strengths at key areas. RP5 looks a tad small and cramped for decent grip, Odin2 looks more ergonomic and adds to performance but it's bigger yet a lot smaller than a Steam Deck.
#jrno93 Yeah but when it comes to high end Emulation like playing demanding Nintendo Switch games and Wii U games Odin 2 wins all day and in battery life over Retroid Pocket 5. Not to say that RP5 can't emulate Switch and Wii U it can but Odin 2 can run them at 2 - 4x resolution while RP5 can't!
Metroid Prime was on the Gamecube, not the PS2
Soz, bit under pressure at the moment when producing these. Thanks for noting it.
In theory 7x resolution sounds cool. But can the screen display 7x resoltiion and do you see the difference between 3x and 7x resolition on a handheld?
You have a very valid point there. The screen just goes up to 1080P so you wont really notice the difference but what i was trying to ilustrate with that point is that the processor on the Odin 2 is much more powerfull than the older Snapdragon 865 on the Retroid Pocket 5. In real world terms there is not a massive difference though. The RP5 can basically run 98% of what the Odin 2 can and you will really only notice the difference with things like windows emulation probaly depending on what game you run. So the Odin 2's value lies more in it's exceptional battery life and the fact that you have a bit of future proofing for possible more demanding emulation or android games to come. I think the above mentioned is worth the extra $80 but if your a bit strapped for cash the RP5 seems like a good buy aswell. Thanks for atching and for sharing your thoughts,
Great vid mate! I was about to buy odin 2 pro but the only thing that keeps me holding back is the input delay, like around 100-133ms and that's horrible when you're playing fighting games or guitar hero, so maybe I would go for RP5 instead and it has like 33ms+ input delay.
Thanks and I totally understand. Input delay can be a game-changer for some genres. Didn't know it was so bad on the the Odin 2 tbh. Thanks for watching
Thanks for video and comparison. But, I still don't know wich one to choose :(
That would depend heavily on what is imprortant to you when it comes to these handhelds. Personally if i had to choose between these 2 i would go g\for the Trimui Smart Pro just because i like the larger screen size, but for you something else may be more important. Lemme know if you have any specific questions maybe i can help you figure out which one would be best for you.
@@TheTechUpdate-ui1fhDoes the trimui smart pro need wifi?
@@idk-p6v6u Hi there it is capable of wifi connectivity and it does help to have it connected as you can download videos, images and metadata for your games if you have custom firmware installed.
why????? why??? I just bought retroid pocket pro 4..... then suddenly it's brother (pocket 5) was born 😢
I can imagine that that is frustrating, performance wize you are not missing much though as they are roughly the same when it comes to that area, The plastice front panel o nthe 4 is also more durable, o it won't break so easily if you drop it accidentaly.
The difference between IPS and OLED display is really that noticeable?? Thinking that this devices are mostly used for emulation??
The colours are much more vivid on the amoled and blacks are truly black. If im not mistaken it is also brighter than the LCD on the Odin but didn't look into that properly so i may be wrong. These devices can definitely do emulation but also all the high end android games you can throw at it. You can install a linux os on the RP 5 aswell and play Ports of PC games or install winlator directly on the Android side and play emulated pc games that way or you can stream your pc games from your pc through and app like moonlight.
Thank you for this one! Important Video!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm going with RP4 Pro over RP5 because the performance difference between RP4 Pro (Dimensity 1100) and RP5 (SD 865) is very minimal. Other than SD getting more support for emulators. But RP4 is also getting support for its "Mali" drivers support meaning more Wii U games work on RP4 Pro now aswell as switch. So performance on RP4 Pro for Switch and Wii U is just 30fps not 60fps like on RP5 but that's not because RP4 Pro is weak it's because Snapdragon drivers gets more support. So if more 3rd party devs work on Mali drivers support then RP4 Pro can play Wii U and Switch games even heavy hitters like BOTW, Mario Odyssey above 30fps. So I'm getting RP4 Pro yeah sure the screen on RP5 looks way better and it's glass edged but glass panels crack if you drop it face first. But plastic screen on RP4 Pro and plastic screen phones have known to take beatings and dropped multiple times face first and very few cracks I do like the oled display on RP5. But the battery capacity on both handheld is around same as both have 5,000mah capacity. So battery life should be even. So battery life, is even Emulation performance of PS2, GameCube, Wii, DreamCast is even once again switch and Wii u emulators will get better with times and if Mali drivers gets supported as well as snapdragon then RP4 Pro can bridge the performance gap on Switch and Wii U. So in essence there's no point in buying Retroid Pocket 5 or Retroid Pocket 4 pro and it's cheaper also just my 10 cent!
Thanks for the comprehensive reply, i mostly agree with you. I am definitely not a guy who goes for the absolute newest thing out there in tech. I prefer the "Second but basically just as good and costs less option" lol. But i gotta say the RP5 looks brilliant and that Oled display makes games really pop. Would still opt for the RP4 though as price is a real factor for me but if i had the extra cash or was a first time buyer i would be really torn. In my next video im looking at whether the RP5 is possibly a netter option than the Odin 2. Should be out asap, check it out if you have time.
Yes I agree 👍
absolutely love my white one
Glad you afe enjoying it😁👍
I own the smart pro and i would not recommend it simply because of the ergonomics. Its thin with not much to hold and the analog sticks suck. The d pad and face buttons are good though
Thanks for the feedback. I have heard from more than 1 person that the analog sticks on it are not great and it does not have video out. It just looks like such a good device when you watch reviews. But the beforementioned has slowly started to get me thinkjng that the x55 or the likes of the RGB10 max 3 may be better if you can get it for a good price.
So you're tldr other people's reviews. What value are you bringing to the table?
Not sure I understand you 100% but It was never my intention to take viewers away from the other channels I get my info from or devalue what they do in any way. Wanted my video's to be a sort of suplementary resource. I have a lot of respect for the reviewers and I always leave links to their video's in my description. I have also referred viewers to their channles on some of my video's and in the comments when I know they have better and more complete info than I have. I honestly enjoy comparing these devices and I just want to be a part of the conversation even if that means doing overviews for the time being. I would love to do hands on reviews but I just can't afford these devices at the moment, working towards a place where I can do that but I am not there yet. Hope that clarifies my idea with the channel a bit more.
@@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh Hey man don't listen to this clown. I'm a first time buyer in the process of deciding which handheld I want to purchase and your video was extremely informative and professional. Thank you sir.
Literal a 40 dollar difference before shipping. So not sure it's much of a difference literally a preference and toss up. If I had a 4pro, I'd stay with it . If I'm a new buyer, I'd go with a 5.
Yea I have the rp 4 pro and I love it. Do I wish the grips were better sure but other than that it performs well
Very true. The more i think about the more i think the RP5 would be the better option when buying new at least. Like i said in the video i'm just not an early adopter and i my main concerns are perfomance rather than Aesthetics. Then again that is a purely theoretical opinion so i may feel differently if i actually had hands onm with these units. Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts.
Have you thought of purchasing a hand grip for it. Retroid has one and you should be able to find a few options on Etsy.
Watching to see the 1:1 vs 4:3 battle! But android 10 vs 13 is the difference right now 🤷🏾♂️🎮
Yip that is quite a difference but retroid has promised and Android 13 version. Personally i don't think bezels would bug me too much, so the aspect ratio isn't too much of an issue for me, but i have not had hands on with these as yet so my opinion might change when i actually get the chance.Thanks for watching
