AYN has revealed the first trailer for its large-screen Android handheld gaming console, the 'Odin 3 Portal.' Equipped with Qualcomm's Dragonwing Q8 chipset and a 9,000mAh battery, the device boosts both performance and battery life compared to its predecessor, the Odin 2 Portal.
On October 19, AYN uploaded a 38-second video to its official YouTube channel, revealing key specifications including the chipset, battery capacity, and weight for the first time. This came about a week after the company initially teased the device's exterior design on its official Instagram, Discord, and X accounts alongside the tagline "Flagship Power, Precise Control."
The Dragonwing Q8 is the same processor powering the base Odin 3—an IoT variant derived from the Snapdragon 8 Elite by omitting only the cellular modem. Built on a 3nm process, its configuration of an 8-core Oryon CPU clocked at up to 4.32GHz and an Adreno 830 GPU matches that of the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Compared to the previous generation's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, it skips the intermediate 8 Gen 3 to jump ahead two generations at once.
There was previously some confusion regarding the chip's name. AYN had originally marketed the Odin 3 as featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite before updating the listing post-launch to the Dragonwing Q8, clarifying that both chips share the same CPU and GPU configuration minus cellular connectivity.
The battery capacity is 1,000mAh larger than the 8,000mAh battery found in the Odin 2 Portal and base Odin 3. Weighing 450g, it is 20g heavier than its predecessor's 430g, and 60g heavier than the 6-inch Odin 3 at 390g. AYN highlighted the caption "450g with bigger battery, better cooling" in the video, emphasizing quiet operation for its fan-driven active cooling system.
While the overall design closely resembles the previous model, the contact areas have been refined. The grips feature an ergonomic design for extended comfort, and the front screen incorporates AG (anti-glare) glass to resist fingerprints. The company also noted that the ABXY buttons produce quieter clicks and offer a softer tactile feel.
The analog sticks are Hall Effect sticks described by AYN as "full size," with textured ridges visible along the edges of the stick caps in the video. Although reported to be slightly larger than those on the predecessor, exact dimensions were not disclosed. Furthermore, details regarding screen size, RAM, storage, pricing, and release timeline were not included in this teaser video. While the previous model featured a 7-inch AMOLED display, screen specifications for the successor have yet to be finalized.
On the official AYN store, the base 8GB/128GB Odin 3 is currently listed at $369 (approx. 490,000 won), while the base model of the Odin 2 Portal is available at a discounted price of $259 (approx. 340,000 won).
