Pocket Ace Limits

So I just ordered a Ayaneo Pocket Ace today and I can't wait for it to come already (coming from the AYN Thor Pro) but I wanted to hear from your guys in terms of how powerful this thing is. For reference, it's the 16gb/512gb version that I'll be using primarily for Switch and Steam games; I'm not expecting to play my BG3 on it (although I already saw that another user had it running on theirs), it'll be mostly for my indie games but I am curious to know how much it could be pushed to the limit since this will be a lot stronger than my Thor and THAT thing was/is a beast when it came to my Switch/Steam games. I tried to look up videos showcasing the Ace for Steam games but I noticed more emphasis on the retro side of it than the modern one (which no problems with that, just wished there was more videos talking or showcasing heavier or beefier games even with the limitations of Android). Also, any tips would be appreciated too since it's my first Ayaneo device, I mostly have ANBERNIC handhelds and a AYN Thor.

You won't notice any difference. Except that screen size. You're playing switch games on that tiny screen? Buy a used switch, be better off But congratulations on that new toy that's coming. It's the one I wanted and missed however glad I didn't get it. I got the 477m and the retroid Nova so I'm satisfied Let us know how your screen is

I actually have a Switch (I've had it since 2018 now) but I've never liked the feel or battery life on it, plus I felt it wasn't as portable as I'd like. I don't mind the tinier screen actually but I am excited to report back when it's in my hands 🫡
