Legion Go 2 - Z2 Extreme (For basically all types of gaming and PS3 and Xbox 360 emulation) AYN Odin 3 (For PSP, PS Vita and basically everything else) AYN Thor (For 3DS, DS and whatever fits with this one) Nintendo Switch 2 (For all N

Depends on the goals. Same exact SOC, But the thor is much more versatile in what it does. If you dont plan on playing any dual screen consoles (DS, 3DS, Will U) then the odin 2/ odin 2 portal will be great for you, and a bit cheaper for the same performance.

With Ayn being the slightly more premium moorechip brand, and with there being a general computing crunch, I could 100% see the answer to "there's de

If the PC is AAA mid-high settings powerful, I’ll take that. Any lower than that and I’d get an Android handheld like the AYN Thor or Odin 3. I’ve had a good experience docking my AYN Thor to my TV and using it as a pseudo console.

There’s just no good reason to limit yourself to 4:3

The problem with emulation on phones is the heat and the way the system manages RAM and uses the power of the SoC (Thanks to Bloatware) A handheld device allows you to fully utilize the power of the SoC, and thanks to its dedicated cooling system it can emulate many more things.
