Advantages of AYN Odin 2
- Runs on a significantly more powerful processor.
- Bigger and higher resolution screen.
- Comes with a larger battery resulting in longer battery life.
- Emulates Switch better than RP4 Pro.
Advantages of Retroid Pocket 4 Pro
- Smaller and lighter device, more pocketable.
- Cheaper.
TLDR
Both are equally good handhelds. Even though the Odin 2 has the most powerful processor in a handheld, you are not missing out a lot with the RP4 Pro.
If you want the latest and greatest and Switch emulation is a must, then go for the Odin 2. You should opt for the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro if pocketability is your primary concern. Or if you are on a limited budget.
