I can't wait bros.... I just ordered one! Specs of a galaxy s20 for just $200... What's your experience with these Android handhelds? Are they any good?
>>
>>103235863
I have a phone, why would I need this
>>
there's a new one of these coming out every month, it's pretty tiring

I'd rather have an upgraded version of this. The most fun I've had from these emulation devices.
>>
>>103235893
This is the first time we are getting one with some real specs for $200 though. Snapdragon 865.
>>103235922
Holy sovl... One might come now that Snapdragon open sourced the sd865.
>>
>>103235892
>Need
Have you tried not being such a massive faggot?
>>
>>103235863
Why can they release this but not phones with 5.5" AMOLED screens anymore.

Looks pretty good. Would also be a nice machine for geforce now.
>>
>>103235996
talking to the mirror anon?
>>
>>103235863
you know what device could actually benefit from a handheld specifically designed to emulate it? the DS. it actually sucks on phones.
>>
>>103236129
I'm so sick of this poorfag cope of buying based on base need. You should promptly kill yourself.
>Let me guess you need more
You don't need technology. You buy based on wants. If you don't want it, move the fuck on.
>>
>>103235863
Meh
I have an rp4 pro, this is barely better and I don't give a fuck about the oled meme
Maybe the 6 that comes out in 3 months will actually be better
>>
>>103235863
Buy an ad
>>
>>103236455
You're retarded. The fact that you want something creates a necessity of having that thing. It's the first thing that you learn studying commerce and marketing.
Also you're a poorfag and retarded for buying a handheld with a Snapdragon 865, there are phone with the same price or lower with higher specs, just add a gamepad and boom you have a gaming handheld. Also, kill yourself pathetic antisocial lonely faggot.
>>
>>103235863
If you buy ANY retro emulation platform above 60$ you should kill yourselves. Literally boiled frogs.
>>
>>103235892
If you actually game buttons is a must, touchscreen controls are pants on head retarded with delay and inaccurate
>>
>>103237059
Gamepads for phones exist.
>>
>>103236455
>(((I))) "want"
Lmao. You're a nigger. Most of the things you "want", you don't want, it's Shlomo making you want them.
The Rabbi has slowly taught you to accept higher and higher prices for a device that you initially "wanted" because you wanted to play your old ass vintage games but didn't want to dish out the same kind of money you would for a modern console for modern games.
Everyone working in marketing and advertising should watch their lineage slowly wither and die in a hospital room (oncology).

>>103237155
>The Rabbi
The speech of an incel.
>>
>>103237189
Anon we all know you're a leftist faggot. No need to tell everyone that you're a slave to consumerism.
>>
Thinking about getting one before the price goes up to $350 next year but I hate Android
>>
>own a phone that's better than a snapdragon 855 or w/e this shit comes with
>buy a $20 attachable controller for the phone
I still don't get why people get retroids. Why not get a steam deck or something instead where you can play PC games as well?
>>
>>103237189
Call it any way you want, call me any names you want, you're still a mindless victim of consumerism. For your own sake and the others', my little nigger, try to think before buying. Even better, try to think before "wanting".
>>
>>103237015
You're a fucking retard if you think that a phone with a giant controller grip on it is a comparable experience to a dedicated handheld. You might as well cut out the middle man and buy a ROG Ally or a fucking laptop if you're going to be carrying around something as bulky as that. Also, good luck finding a phone with a better chipset than the Snapdragon 865 for $219.

maybe you two could have sex with one another. Because god knows you'll never do it with a woman.
>>
>>103237242
namaste
>>
>>103237259
I don't know him at all and I'm pretty selective. Also I'm starting to believe you're a woman, what's with all this talk about celibacy.
>>
got one last year and the sticks are already drifting from too much SSX/THPS
>>
>>103237226
better battery life and easier to lug around.
i have a legion go and i still use my ayn odin 2 more for ps2, gamecube and lighter switch emulation.
i mean, if you never leave the house, neither is necessary at all.
>>
>>103237084
And they suck ass, huge or plain don't perfectly fit and are flimsy as fuck
Also still have delay
>>
>>103235863
A year ago i bought a chink r36s for $35, copied the Roms to my android phone then gave it as a gift to my nephew and he loves it, if u're not an itoddler u don't need this shit just get gamesir controller Roms and retroarch or something similar any android phone will do
>>
>>103237155
It's a handheld galaxy s20 that's unlocked and open source for $200. That's insanely cheap.
>>
>>103236569
It's like twice the speed of the 4 pro. The snapdragon is better in every way. You do you though.
>>
You can get a open box z1 rog ally for $280
>>
>>103237220
So install Batocera Linux or rocknix on it.
>>
>>103238479
That's based actually.
>>
How well does minecraft java run on android? Is it current version or behind?
>>
>>103238545
Doesn't matter when you can run Linux on it. It's not locked to Android.
>>
>>103238475
It's really not, all the benchmarks are just marginally better
Also consider the fact that android is dogshit and all the power in the world won't fix the hacked together ps2 emulator that you have to patch the malware out of
>>
>>103235863
i like the loonix handhelds more.
they are more customizable but typically the android handhelds get more battery life.
>>
>>103237293
A general infatuation with the jew is a good tell on whether someone has had sex ever in their life. Same insane fixation on tannies and blacks generally tell the same story as well.
>>
Wait for the PRO
>>
>>103241492
>>103241512
Just install Linux on it. I don't get why this is hard to comprehend. It's unlocked.
>>103241685
The pro version may not come out. It'll probably just be metal instead of plastic but the specs won't be any better. The sd865 is about as good as it's going to get. Anything newer isn't open source.
>>
>>103235863
I would love one of these but with an Intel N300 and Bazzite, so it is actually good as a gaming handheld .
>>
>>103241720
The MSRP for the n300 is $309. The sd865 is now open source. Intel still enforces closed source binary blobs. The sd865 being released to the Foss community is huge. I expect a lot of these handhelds and laptops etc with the sd865.
>>
>>103241748
>closed source binary blobs
Just like AMD, it doesn't matter for Mesa
>for the n300 is $309
N200 then
>>
>>103237059
all these Linux / android handheld use vsync anyway which has several frames of lag
>>
>>103241760
The sd865 is totally open source. It supports DDR. The n series is only single channel ram. The N200 is $80 which is closer to the sd865 at $55 and the 865+ at $80. The 865+ is closed source for now. The 875 will be open sourced at the end of 2025 so we may not even see anything with the 865+. I don't think you fully understand what you're talking about.
>>
>>103241760
You're retarded.
>>
>>103241837
>>103241815
>kills your compatibility
x86 is king, all emulators run on x86, ARM is a meme.
>>
>>103241857
Enough emulators exist on Android and Linux and arm now. Stay mad. Buy one or don't. Nobody cares. You're not that special. It's open source. Intel and AMD aren't. Please actually don't buy one.
>>
>>103241857
All the emulators run on Android and arm.
