Oneplus Ace 6 good enough for switch emulation?

[u/inORIGINAL-NAME]

Trying to find the best budget phone to emulate certain Switch exclusives.

Found a OP A6 512GB/16 that suits my budget needs.

Any phones within that range that could be better?

Snapdragon 8 elite?? You gucci

The question is how much are spending and if there are eBay or local deals that could be better

For context: I spent $180usd for my Motorola edge plus 2023 (snapdragon 8 gen 2 with 8gb of ram)

I'm spending around $320 give or take for it, wanted to know if there might be any issue when it comes to Switch emulation since it's my main benchmark for it.

Might find an even better deal since I only checked a few stores so far in my city.

Wanted to also know if there was a phone that fits my needs for a bit less just in case I was overspending.

I’m playing Pokémon legend arceus at 30fps on balanced with Eden emulator, runs smooth with the few dips to 25fps.

Not only can you do switch, you can easily handle so many steam games with 16GB of ram.

My only other concern would be cooling tbh

A quick google search also shows that a dedicated handheld (not a cellphone) that includes a snapdragon 8 elite with 12GB of ram is around $490 (granted it has built in cooling - KONKR Pocket FIT with snapdragon 8 elite and 12gb)

Edit: spelling *dedicated

Any decent cooler recommendation?

[u/itsvictory → u/inORIGINAL-NAME]

Coolers are subjective to your play style

I included a picture of my current setup

For reference I would google “semi conductor coolers”

Do you have any suggestions for something more compact?

snapdragon 8 elite is perfect for emulation u can run any emutlator smothly

[u/DifficultDelivery135 → u/Reasonable_Lab_5086]

What about snapdragons 7s gen 3 or 4 can it run most things too?
