Because it uses Android 11 the setup was incredibly easy, and this feature helped it to the top of our list because traditionally retro handhelds can be a pain to setup, but not the AYN Odin.

A retro gaming console is a modern device that can play old games on new TVs. These are usually mini replicas of old consoles and come with pre-installed games running on emulation. Some retro consoles are new, such as the Evercade series, that feature bespoke games and emulated titles from the 8, 16 and 32 bit eras. Which retro gaming console is best?At just €65 it makes a great gift or a small treat for yourself this Christmas. You’re probably wondering what it can do, right? Yes, you can modify this yourself and load up a different version of Android but for an average consumer this thing is still a little clunky and needs some TLC. The build quality is great, with a impeccable D-PAD perfect for old school fighters, it even has two action buttons below that so you can play in TATE mode, something which many handhelds can’t do. In terms of design the handheld feels a delight to play on, especially the metal editions. It adds weight, durability and gives it a premium touch. The team behind the device is also giving the customer a choice on where they prefer the DPAD to be located, making two variations of each device, which isn’t something I have seen before. The Atari 2600+ takes its design cues from the early-1980s revision of the original console, with fake wood grain on the front and four control switches. But Atari says the console is only 80 percent as large as the original console, "making it easier to fit into modern living spaces." The console also has an HDMI output and uses USB-C for power.

It’s one of the first “affordable” clamshell handheld emulators on the market, and has been a design that many enthusiasts has demanded for some time. The Lynx is without a doubt Atari's most underrated game system, and one of the most underrated handheld consoles next to the likes of the PS Vita. It is the first handheld console ever to be mass-produced with a full-color screen, nearly a full ten years before the release of the more widely-known and successful Gameboy Color. On top of that, it had a good library of games, an interesting design — despite maybe being a little too big to be considered a true "handheld"—, and it was extremely durable. They have even upgraded the shoulder buttons to add extra comfortability as many customers complained about the shoulder buttons last time.I will admit, the handheld is very crowded, and they cut corners when it comes to the quality of plastic used but overall it performs well (up to PS1) and feels very comfortable to play on.
