Real user views please - Thor Max v Odin 3 Max?

:Talk:Discussion

I'm travelling to Vietnam / Hong Kong / Shenzhen from this coming Saturday. I'm aware that I can purchase from AliExpress, but am likely to take the opportunity to add to the collection whilst I'm away (I've got 4 devices ready for the flight!). The price in Vietnam looks cheaper anyway.

I've eyed up both the Thor and Odin 3 for some time, but am asking for some real user views. Currently my go to devices are a Mangmi Pocket Max, 40xxv, rg rotate and flip v2. I have a legion go but won't be taking due to crap battery life and you can't use portable chargers on the airline I'm flying with.

I'm looking to emulate, generally, from Dreamcast, GameCube, PSP, up to switch and steam games via gamenative (or similar). I'm not a huge DS fan, so naturally the Thor isn't a priority. The Pocket Max isn't great with steam (some work, most don't).

Could users of either device please provide some feedback / recommendations on their experiences with these systems. I'm leaning towards the Odin but would appreciate some insight, rather than relying on watching countless YT vids. Thanks in advance
