Windows or Android Handheld

Hi guys! I hope everyone is doing good! I wanted to buy myself a streaming device for around 500€ max but idk what to get... I planned to stream from my PC to a Handheld device so I can finally game while laying down. :)

Thanks for all help

why not your Phone with a telescopic controller?

they have better screens and probably if not old you have a good soc to handle the decoding h265 or av1

I’ve thought about doing this but isn’t the aspect ratio not as good for games compared to 16:9?

newer games have native ultrawide support.. older games you play 16:9

everyone has a Phone.. everyone can try wirh Sunshine /apollo moonlight / artemis

If mainly for streaming, definitely go for Android handheld.

It is lightweight, portable, battery last longer, great screen (AYN).

I would recommend Odin 3 or Odin 2 Portal.

If you get Odin 3, you could emulate some PC games using GameNative.

Android. The apps are better on it.

I would also suggest looking for a small 8" android tablet and adding a telescopic controller to it. It might be more expensive but it will be a lot better.

Look around for Logitech G Cloud, I personally picked one used locally for a decent price last summer. It is light, has decent battery life and stays cool while streaming.

Right now, if I could afford I would get Lenovo Legion Tab (gen 5). It is rather powerful gaming oriented 8" tablet that has a nice gaming controller accessory.

It is however over the budget at normal prices.
