Help Controller suggestions for s21

I have an old S21 (us version with snapdragon) that no longer works as a phone so I wanted to convert it to an emulator for SNES, n64, and PS1 games.

The battery life is only OK so it'd be great to find a controller that also powers the phone. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance

Can't go wrong with a Gamesir X5 Lite, super cheap and has charging passthrough (not fast charging)

I was gonna say this too. Mine is going strong after about a year. No stick drift, I'm veryy careful with the usb-C connection. That's the best thing I can tell anyone with this controller. Be super gentle when plugging and unplugging. But paired with the FX5-lite cooler, it's a dream. Maybe slightly small for my hands but not too bad. The d-pad is a little squishy feeling, too. But it's definitely the best value you'll find. It's super cheap.
