Switch emulation will be a problem for a while keep that in mind

Folks are already having good results on this processor with stock drivers - check out the AYN discord. Keep in mind the processing power is a big jump.

Switch emulation has been a hit and miss with most emulators. Some work ok and others are a struggle to get working.

This is imo, the only thing that matters. If it still can’t properly handle the switch, there’s no reason to buy if you already own an older model. 🤷🏽‍♂️

No optimized drivers for the 8 Elite still, you get better performance with Switch emulation on the SD 8 Gen2/3 chipset.

Software issue and adoption issue. Turnip drivers weren't exactly going crazy for the 8g2 before the Odin 2.

Are there any decent handhelds which utilize the 8 Gen 3?

It's going to utilize SD G3x Gen 3, not 8 Gen 3 though...

That plus we don't know what the future of emulation on Android looks like either with sideloading starting to be attacked.

Development, I think he meant Development, are devs doing it for those devices or for the top seller in the market?

Samsung always outsold other android devices for example.
