At long last, the Odin 2 Mini has arrived! This is the base model, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor with 8 GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. I'm using a 512GB Sandisk Extreme microSD card to store games. In this video, we'll do an unboxing, compare the size of the Mini to other retro handhelds and the PS Vita, take a look at the device and its controls, and play some games.

We'll also talk about vignetting, ghosting, brightness and some initial thoughts about the display quality of the Mini.

The gameplay demonstrations (SO3 and Jak 3) are both PS2 games running on NetherSX2 (4248), and you can see the emulator settings in the video.

Since this video turned out to be quite long, I've put time stamps so you can easily skip to the parts of the video that most interest you.
