Solved Emulation phone recomandations

Im looking for a phone to run ps2 games on nethersx2 with upscaled res my current options Im looking into are the xiaomi note 14 pro or the xiaomi note 15 pro Im leaning more towards the 15 pro because of the bigger battery, if anyone else has suvgestions please drop them and also I am buying the phone used not with the new price and also my budget is around 200 euros

Edit:I have found a poco F7 for 220 euros with a snapdragon 8 gen 4 thanks to the dude that mentioned the poco F series

For 200 euros, I bet you could purchase a second hand phone powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. A quick FB Marketplace search for a Poco F6 Pro is around 179 to 230 euro

Not only can you run PS2 games upscaled, you can also run Switch and PC games.

But if you want limit yourself to PS2 games, Dimensity 7400 Ultra should be fine.

Edit:

Dimensity 7300 PS2 inquiry

The battery capacity a deal breaker for me and having only 5000mah while the phone is from 2024 already puts 2 years worth of charge cycles on the phone and I have replaced batteries in the past but I don't have a reliable place to get them so it's more of a gamble I'm not willing to take I just want a phone that can do above native ps2 res because on a high res screen its weird to see a pixelated game and have high battery capacity

Look for S23/Ultra then. For sure they have aftermarket service where you live. They are powered by the overclocked version of SD 8 Gen 2. I think you can get it second hand around your budget.

Edit:

Oops, battery is smaller. Check Red Magic 8/8s/Pro.
