I like to play Indies on my phone. Emulated or not, I don't know, It Just hit diferent, I plug my joystick and have a good time then If I need to do something with the phone I just unplug the joystick and use as a phone again xD.
Just wanna add something
In my case my phone will be with me every where I go. it much more convenient to bring it around than a handheld pc or my laptop but hyperos 3 kinda fuck me in the ass
Personally used to emulate on my phone myself & still had fun playing the games on it though as a owner of 2 handheld PCs now first handheld PC was a Steam Deck LCD & now a Legion Go S Z1 Extreme 32GB Steam OS edition. Personally for me the appeal of emulating on a handheld PC over a phone is say your emulating either a GBA,PSP or a PS Vita I'd argue it'd make you feel like your playing on the actual hardware of those consoles as the the it's got a built-in controller attached to the screen & its not just a thing you slot your phone into. Still not a thing you have to do to enjoy emulation the games are still plenty fun even if played on a phone.
I think once gaming phones get better temperature management, and batteries can tank Switch emulation better, that will be more worth it. Right now, I mostly emulate retro games, at best I'll emulate a Wii game on Dolphin on my phone if I have my controller ready.
I dont play popular shooters with invasive kernel level anticheat so proton plays absolutely 100% of the games i like just as good and some even better than on windows.
Forget it. That thing has like 1.6TFLOPs of GPU compute. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 had that like 3 years ago. Sure it will work for like Hollow Knight and all, but don't expect to run GTA 5
I was hoping to get a handheld PC as a gift by the end of the year, but it ended up having to be a new smartphone since my previous one just died recently. Fortunately it's still powerful enough for a good deal of non-Android games that I'd want to play casually, I'm just waiting to get an attachable controller I can use with it.
Why would I buy a handheld PC when I spend almost as much in a year on my phone's bill than I did to upgrade my PC recently? At this point it's cold stubborn principle.
Plus, it's extremely fun and rewarding to get games running smooth on GHL :)
The thing is pc emulation fries my phone so much that I stick to 2d switch games. But also these people totally forget that handheld PCs are terrible at being handheld.
Phones are small, compact and powerful enough to run most ps3 gen era titles at 720p comfortably (flagships).
I would definitely get myself an android handheld if some biggers companies make one. Especially after learning some odin devices have some issues, I don't want to take my chance getting Chinese handhelds.
WELL.. Technically- if you give more TDP package to Snapdragon 8 Elite and and supply it with efficient fan cooling or watercooling whatever you prefer and how creative you are. You prob can achive that "handheld" performance. Because phones are using passive cooling, but they almost always do not supply with active cooling. Not sure if you can overclock snapdragon CPUs
Depends on what is being played, tbh. Some games, like DS games, I like on my phone so I can setup touch pads the way I want and easily use them without a heavy device in the way.
That's what it comes down to for me. Yeah I have a laptop but for mobile purposes I just use my phone or tablet I got for school. Sure it's not as powerful but it's leagues more convenient once I get the games tweaked and running.
Handhelds PCs are huge, I had a steam deck, but it's so damn big and if you have a gaming PC it's kind of redundant, fisher price size tablet, I really hope handheld PCs start being actually handheld in the future
I disagree bro, small gaming handhelds on Android already have cooling allowing for better performance, they can already play games like Tomb Raider and Red dead redemption, I feel it's only a matter of time before PC handhelds can get smaller or Android handhelds getting stronger
Windows is fundamentally built different than Android, it's way less efficient and requires so much more power and fans to dissipate all that heat, so don't expect this to happen anytime soon. On the brighter side, Windows is way better for emulation because it has been around since... uh... forever. Stuff runs better and you don't have to deal with locked bootloaders and nonsense like that.
Eh. I have a Thor. I don't use my phone for games much. I can see why someone would prefer a handheld pc but honestly if I wanna play something that beefy I'm gonna do it on my desktop. The beauty of Android gameing is you can bring them with you. On the bus. On the train. At the doctors office. For me even the switch is to big to easily carry around all day just encase I get caught up in a line or whatever.
I cant play games without fast forward or save state feature. So even if i do buy a handheld pc someday, all that change is i emulate from handheld pc instead
IF you are willing to accept the inferior experience, sure go right ahead. But you'll get no sympathy from me when a game runs at 5 fps or some game won't start. You made your bed, you can lay in it.
This is honestly the same as someone asking for tips to repair their phone and someone responding "just buy a new one", you think money is infinite/people are willing it to spend it on anything???
i think the people saying this, is mostly to people wanting to play cyberpunk 2077 on their SD 680, or those who ask how they can squeeze out more fps to go above 11 fps in gamehub.

How can you post gif? I use reddit on a browser on my android
Edit: i found out! All i have to do is enable (desktop mode) on the browser and the GIF section appeared.
[deleted]
I dont see it. Its only (Comment) and (Cancel)
[deleted]
Poco x7 pro. I think i have to use the app not the browser.
You can't. You need to load full desktop page.
Really? I'm on mobile
If you open website on mobile you can't. You can however tell browser to open desktop page.
Wrong... Just the android app, nothing else here
We don't use app bro
[deleted]
Does not look like a web browser, you trickster!
I have to enable (desktop mode) for gif to appear. You gave me this idea and it worked. Thanks.

Doesnt work. It says (this app does not support image here) and i clicked GIF not IMAGE. I use Gboard
Sounds like skill issue I'm able to do it in a shitty LG v60
Yeah, That's the most fun i have.

What is a joystick?
Galileo gamesir G8, I have big pockets its ok.
Same !
I just became dust
controller id imagine
I think you should have a telescopic controller like G8 or X5s.
Abxylute S9 also seems good from what I've seen.
The game is the tinkering.
BUT, I may consider upgrading my phone to a snapdragon chip once I have enough money.

Problem with both is compability
If you want full PC Compability look for Windows device
That's why I have an ROG Ally, I emulate on my phone too but mostly games that I just use to kill time, and play a lil bit at a time.
I emulated a switch game once on android then never again i never got the appeal compared to a console, handheld or a PC
I think once gaming phones get better temperature management, and batteries can tank Switch emulation better, that will be more worth it. Right now, I mostly emulate retro games, at best I'll emulate a Wii game on Dolphin on my phone if I have my controller ready.
My phone plays my switch games better than my switch does. Higher resolution and framerate.
Same here. I played Super Mario RPG at 2x resolution and with a far superior screen and controller.
Oh yeah, the screen! Huge upgrade over the switch
I'm playing on a huge Note 20 Ultra and it's awesome.
Proton has gotten really good in recent years and 99% of games not supported by Proton are horrible to play on a controller anyway
I dont play popular shooters with invasive kernel level anticheat so proton plays absolutely 100% of the games i like just as good and some even better than on windows.
The beauty of pc is it's not always compatible even with itself 😅
I have an ROG Ally X but I'm still trying to emulate games on my Google Pixel 9.
Same, but with my AYN Thor.
Forget it. That thing has like 1.6TFLOPs of GPU compute. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 had that like 3 years ago. Sure it will work for like Hollow Knight and all, but don't expect to run GTA 5
I don't think he's gonna run gta5 on a tiny screen like that.
Yeah...well desktop mode is always an option if he's on the latest android 16 and has a monitor
Same My goal is to have a power android that can emulate PC games easily while being able to fit my phone in my pocket lol
I help a few of those in my hands. Only the Legion Go S and the Switch 2 felt like good, finished products.
Ended up getting a telescopic gamepad for my tablet (Samsung S5e with Oled screen)
I was hoping to get a handheld PC as a gift by the end of the year, but it ended up having to be a new smartphone since my previous one just died recently. Fortunately it's still powerful enough for a good deal of non-Android games that I'd want to play casually, I'm just waiting to get an attachable controller I can use with it.
Maybe the real treasure was the money we spent along the way
Do you guys ever play games? Or just check if a game you would play would run?
Yes
Nothing wrong in doing both!
Getting a Android handheld like the Odin 2 is a spirit experience. But....... Sometime price or availability means you cannot get one.
Like they say, the best gaming device is the one you have at the time you want to play.
Gaming on my Samsung Ultra 24 has been great! And "affordable " ;)
I have so far only emulated Snes, NES, N64 games on my phone.
I get 50fps with Fallout NV on my tablet. Why would I buy handheld again?
my phone can emulate a PS2/Xbox/NGC pretty damn well. if I need more power I'll go to my desktop.
I love the sarcasm on Reddit... xd
so brave
what a warrior
Why would I buy a handheld PC when I spend almost as much in a year on my phone's bill than I did to upgrade my PC recently? At this point it's cold stubborn principle.

same. I already have a phone.....
Still not sure why old Chris Evans looks like a younger Joe Biden.
You do you boo
Yes you can only convince your mom to buy you a phone.
wait till they find out that smart phones are just handheld pc's
The thing is pc emulation fries my phone so much that I stick to 2d switch games. But also these people totally forget that handheld PCs are terrible at being handheld.

TLDR: small devices good, handheld PCs bad.
Buy steam deck. Trust me bro. /s
WELL... Technically, latest snapdragon supports nanite and UE Lumen. Let's say..

Man, Biden looks young

GBA? GameCube? Legion go all day.
my response would be "why spend money when u can emulate for free"
That's what it comes down to for me. Yeah I have a laptop but for mobile purposes I just use my phone or tablet I got for school. Sure it's not as powerful but it's leagues more convenient once I get the games tweaked and running.

It's not going to happen. Heat dissipation is a feature of those "laptop" PCs...

I'll just ask them to buy it for me.

I have snap 8 elite gen 5 and want to play, but no turnip means rip So not only sd 680
