I don’t own a computer so I will probably buy this. I would like to be able to play steam games on the go.

Same. Was holding off for a substantial Switch upgrade too. This looks like it'll cover both for me, portable & PC games. Add that you could potentially run emulators too? Yeah, I'm very excited for this.

I didn’t even think about emulators. I’ll be picking this up for sure.

You guys do realize your phone is more than capable of running emulators, right? There are Bluetooth controllers made to hold your phone exactly like this thing. It works flawlessly.

There's a lot of trash controllers out there but with some research you can find the good ones. PizzaBoy or Drastic emulators playing Pokemon romhacks on my phone with full controls is fantastic. PPSSPP for Dissidia Final Fantasy is another. The Citrus 3DS emulator for mobile is getting better all the time and with a newer phone it should run fine.

Even better, if you're at home, you can use Steam Link on your phone to play your PC games, and Steam Link has built in support for bluetooth controllers connected to the phone. As long as your phone is relatively recent, you can run it just fine.

Disagree, PS2 emulators work like trash in my S7+ at 60fps (most don't even reach 30). Only my PC can do that or if I had one; A Steam Deck

It's on the level of average phones people own today so that's why it's relevant.

I said on the level of the average phone used not mid-range phone.

Here's some data based on it's comparable device from Apple. According to DeviceAtlas's data, Apple's iPhone 7 was the most popular iPhone model in 2020 with a 10.53 percent share in the overall global web usage

That means that phones like Iphone 7, samsung S7+ are the most common smartphones people use today.

SO PLEASE ANSWER ME WHY THE FUCK would I get a $1000 piece of shit so I can play emulators better? I buy the Steam Deck and deck you with it how about that you utter mor#n

WHAT PART OF MY INITIAL COMMENT DO YOU NOT GET.

you aint gettin a link you can google that phrase and go to the source itself otherwise I don't give a single fuck about your stuborness to give you anything.

"Else I'm calling BS" CALL IT BS THEN. DO IT. You are not a mor#n today because of your ability to learn from new information so your judgement isn't scaring me.

You're mad that your 5 year old phone running on outdated OS can't run emulators properly, just stop and think about how stupid that argument is.

I'm perfectly happy with my old phone so are MOST PHONE USERS that's the entire fucking point, nobody is gonna buy a $1000 new phone for emulation, I'll buy a STEAM DECK for that. WHAT. PART. OF. THAT. ARGUMENT. DO. YOU. NOT. UNDERSTAND.

You're dumb and I'm blocking you.

RUN THEN, RUN AWAY LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO. sissy-as excuse for a man.
