Welcome back to our G-Geek. Since the recent announcement of the Logitech G Cloud handheld, you've probably wondering how it shapes up against the Odin. Let's get into it. Both the Odin and Logitech G have 1080p displays with a 16.9 aspect ratio, but the Logitech comes with a 7-inch screen as opposed to Odin 6-inch. Also, to note, is the Odin's brighter display which makes it easier to play outside. But I don't expect you to do that much with the Cloud Gaming handheld, unless you want to believe you'll play in the backyard pool like the Lady in Logitech's promo video. I have to say the 60Hz display is preferable though, as the 61Hz can cause some retro games to flicker. While comparatively similarly sized handhelds, Logitech is bigger than the Odin and every dimension. 3cm wider, 2cm taller, and a half-cm thicker. If you're mostly Cloud Gaming, the extra inch will come in handy though, which will mostly be playing games designed for modern TVs. Logitech's offering also weighs in it one and a half times out of the Odin, so the Odin will be more portable while the Logitech G will be more immersive. Check out the CPU and GPU in these babies. I'm not going to read the specs to you, so pause the video if you want to take a closer look. It's worth noting though, the Odin does have active cooling which will eke out even more performance from their handhelds. Here we can see a benchmark of Odin Pro's Snapdragon 845 chip compared to Logitech G's Snapdragon 720G. You'll see that Odin wins in every category except for battery life. It's interesting now to see that the Odin lights' dimension in 900 chip actually beats out the Logitech G in every category. As far as Cloud Gaming goes, this probably won't make any difference. It'll probably only make a difference if you want to emulate very high-end GameCube games. And well, it'll see how many Wii and PS2 titles you'll be able to run smoothly. Both of these machines are absolutely beasts in the battery department. Odin should give 4 to 10 hours compared to Logitech's 5 to 12 hours. I have to say personally though, after owning my Odin Pro for 8 months now, I've only picked it up once this entire time with no battery left, so I'm pretty sure we'll be happy with either device in this regard. A big plus for Logitech is its availability, well except that it's only currently available in the United States and Canada. You order it? They ship it to you. How cool is that? What's up with the handheld industry making you wait months to get your device? Yeah, I know, chip shortages do the COVID, but anywhere it digress. We can compare this to the Odin's 2 to 12 month delivery window, Steam Decks up to 3 month delivery, if you order now. Although I have to say I know a guy who ordered a Steam Deck 11 months ago, he still hasn't gotten it yet. But nothing is as horrendous as analog pockets 4 to 15 month wait though. As far as storage goes, these devices are pretty comparable with 64GB being the baseline amount of storage, which is obviously more than enough if you primarily plan to be cloud gaming on your handheld. Plus they accept SD cards, so you can expand that storage later, as much as your SD card budget can handle. I had to do a double take when I saw that the Logitech G only supports Wi-Fi 5. I mean if your device is primarily for cloud gaming shouldn't it at least support Wi-Fi 6? Having said that, I've had pretty good experiences cloud gaming in my Odin Pro, so I'm guessing this will be a non-issue after all. Blutes with compatibility is pretty similar across the board. Not however that the Odin has video out, whereas the Logitech G does not. If you're primarily cloud gaming though, this probably won't matter to you. As far as RAM goes, 4GB should be enough for most of what you want to throw it at on Android. There used to be some benefits with Emilator's running better on Android 10, because its file system permissions weren't as strict, but as time passes, Emilator's update, so it isn't an issue anymore. In any case, I don't really see a benefit of having Android 11 over 10. One big difference between these machines though is that Odin comes with a button mapper, so you can map touchscreen games to physical controls. Not worth considering though if you just want a cloud game on your handheld, or you don't want to play Android games. The Odin stock is pretty epic, not only does it have 5 USB A ports, it can even support 2N64 controllers, 2 GameCube controllers, as well as having 2 USB C ports. An HDMI port to connect your TV or monitor, an Ethernet port, which will make cloud gaming more stable than Wi-Fi. I mean it even has space to put in a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive. This thing is a beast, the Logitech G is just a handheld. Both handhelds are more than capable of whatever cloud gaming you want to throw at them. GeForce now, Xbox Cloud, Google Stadia, Amazon Luna, Ant-Stream, and so on. I find it interesting that Google Stadium, Amazon Luna didn't even get a mention in the presentation, but I think this comes down more to strategic partnerships with Xbox and Nvidia than with the capabilities of the machine. As far as colors go, the Odin Lite can be ordered with 4 colors, the Odin Base and Pro with 2 colors. Shout out to Scott for getting that clear purple approved, and the Logitech G is only available in white. As far as price goes, all the Odin models are currently on sale, so I listed the sales prices next to their retail price, and we can see they range from Odin Lite's sales price of $198 to $329 for the Odin Pro 256GB model. Comparing retail prices, we can see that the Logitech G comes closest to the most expensive Odin, the Pro, with 256GB. But currently, while the pre-order is available, you can get the Logitech G for $300. Now let's get down to recommendations. If you want to play Wii U and PS3, I'm afraid you're going to have to shell up 400 bucks for a Steam Deck. If you're happy playing up to GameCube, some PS2 and some Wii, the Odin or the Logitech G should get the job done, with the Odin playing a few more games more smoothly. If it's PSP in Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast you're looking for, I'd recommend the Retroid Pocket 3. If all you care about is Super Nintendo, the original PlayStation and Game Boy Advance, save some money and grab a Wii U mini V2. Now my recommendations for modern gamers. If cloud is what you're most after, pick up the Logitech G, as that 7-inch screen will shine on games made for modern TVs. For more portability, grab an Odin Lite. If it's Android gaming you want, get an Odin. Most Android games are made for smaller screens anyway, plus you'll get that button mapper, so you can play touch screen games with physical buttons. If you want iPhone gaming, like maybe you're a big fan of Apple Arcade, then I recommend the Backbone 1, a solid addition to your iPhone. And obviously if you want a PC game, you won't be shocked to hear, I'd say to go with a Steam Deck.
