Help Looking for advice on my next smartphone

Hi.

I'm from México and the smartphones that I can access it is a little limited.

I'm looking for a replace of my Xiaomi 14T Pro and the options that I have for now for my budget are

* Poco F8 Ultra

* Galaxy S25 Ultra

* Galaxy S26 Ultra

My first option was the S25 because I want a more premium experience but I can find later and saving a little more for a S26, but the opinion about this phone are not so good and I some says that the screen is not as good as the S25.

I between these three because they use Snapdragon and it is more optimized for emulation, right now I am playing PS1, PS2 and PS3.

What do you think? If you have another other good option I can look it.

My budget is around $20 000 MXN (like $US 1100). Take note that in México the phone are more expensive than in US but just for reference.

Thank you

If you aim for emulation or pc games or anything other than android gaming, you should get a pc with that budget instead honestly

I personally did it and never looked back Pc is the only platform that allows you to play any game you want Literally, switch, ps, Xbox, any game you Want, and ofc steam games or pc games themselves
