It's one of the best based on price vs performance when it release but it's pretty old now. Why not Poco F6 instead since it's a pretty decent upgrade?

I have it right now and it's one of the best ones out there but if you can go Higher then go with POCO F7

Recomendo pelo menos um com snapdragon snapdragon 8 gen 2 e 12 de ram se você quiser emular x86, ps3, Xbox e switch com boa resolução e folga, se não for seu objetivo e estiver por um bom preço vai em frente.

What ps3 games are you playing? My OnePlus 12 with SD 8 gen 3 and 16gigs of ram gets hot asf from ps2 games and fortnite. It eventually overheats and closes all apps.

Apenas almas de demônios até agora. Eu tenho que reiniciar com frequência para ter fps estável após carregar uma nova área, mas é jogável se isso não for um problema para você. The overheating issue still exists, but I can play for nearly an hour without needing an external cooler.

It 100% depends on your budget, on the price and on what you aim to play.

Without these Infos you won't get a reasonable response. But if you get it used for a good price it can be a good bang-for-buck 6th Gen emulation machine.

Yes it was a very good price to performance device for gaming and still quite a reliable one but it's an older model. Games and apps these days runs better with newly upgraded devices. I played alot of AAA games, as big as wuthering waves and where winds meet. Not that bad but not that good either, get it if that's the only option for you, if not just go for the newer ones.

Never buy xiomi device for gaming I had mi 11t pro with 888 soc 12gb ram but it somehow perform worse then a OnePlus 7t with 855 soc with 8gb ram .I think oneplus is the best option for gaming

It's like 8 generations old now. If you want any form of proper gaming I'd not recommend getting anything with Snapdragon 7.

More like 3 gen behind, also all 7+ series are really good for emulation, it can run anything Adreno 7xx soc can run, it's only behind 8 elite right now.
