With so many handhelds on the horizon — the KONKR Pocket Fit, AYANEO Pocket DS, AYN Thor, and the Odin 3 — I’m lining up for my reviews on each and could use your input. Which of these handhelds are you most excited for, and why? And when I get them in hand, what would you really like to see tested?

Hope you’re all having a great September so far! So… which handheld are you most excited for?

Alright—only about an hour and a half left until the AYN Thor officially launches. Anyone here planning to grab one? Personally, I think the Pro model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage is the sweet spot for value, but honestly the 8GB Snapdragon 865 version should still handle 3DS and DS emulation just fine.

If you’re interested, I’ll drop both links below. Either way, it’s going to be interesting to see how this thing lands after the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 and the AYANEO Pocket DS.

It’s that time of year again! The handheld release season is kicking off, and I'm facing a classic dilemma. Two incredible, but very different, devices are on the horizon, and my wallet can only handle one of these. This means the next big review on the channel is officially in your hands!
Two completely different paths of handheld gaming:

​👾 Path of Nostalgia: AYANEO is dropping the Pocket DS. A dual-screen Android handheld that looks like a dream machine for DS and 3DS emulation. This is all about celebrating a classic form factor and diving deep into retro perfection.

​💪 Path of Power: The other path is pure, PERFORMANCE. We're talking about the next-gen Z2 Extreme handhelds, like the Legion Go 2 or the new MSI A8. This would be about pushing the latest AAA PC titles on the go and seeing just how much power we can cram into our hands.
I'm genuinely torn, so I'm leaving it 100% up to you. What gets you more excited? Your vote will literally decide what shows up on my doorstep.
​Let me know in the poll!

Well looks like ‪@TeamRetrogue‬ was brave enough to try the x86 handheld challenge! https://youtu.be/JyfWH0c94Zg
It's a bold move! Could you ever see yourself going handheld-only, or is a desktop still essential for you? If you tried it before or attempted it, which handheld did you use?

Alright my fellow Canadians, for anyone tempted by the Lenovo Legion Go S... it's on sale for $200 off right now.

Before you jump on it, I feel like I have to give you a heads-up. My own luck with these has been pretty rough—I'm literally 0 for 3 on getting a unit without some kind of quality control issues. Because of that, I'm personally passing on trying for a fourth one. I'm genuinely curious what your experience has been, though. Let me know in the comments if you've had better luck or if you're in the same boat!

I'm in the middle of testing a new device, and I need to talk about this because I'm genuinely stunned.

We all know the Odin 2 Portal is the absolute pinnacle of android handhelds. The device I'm holding right now makes the Odin 2 feel like it's from a different generation. I'm not talking about a small, incremental jump in performance that you only see in benchmark scores. I mean a night-and-day difference you can feel instantly. It's wild.

The landscape of high-end ARM emulation is about to get serious. Hopefully new developments can take full advantage of this new powerful chip. Full, deep-dive video is in the works. Can you guess which SOC this is? Honestly I'm genuinely blown away by this device, I can't wait to share my thoughts and impressions with you all soon!
