How does /v/ feel about gaming phones?They seem pretty useless. Weaker performance than handheld PCs and the Switch.Smaller screen. And totally outclassed by PCs.So what's the point?
>>719413654The biggest problem with gaming phones is no good games on phones.
>>>/vmg/>>>/g/
>>719413851You can emulate pretty much everything up to the PS4 era on the phone.
>>719413654i just don't need a portable gaming device so i don't care about handhelds and "gaming" phones.
>>719413654I would rather get a GameBoy Micro-esque device than a smartphone with a controller attachment. I was at a GameStop last November and the line was held up because some 13-15 year old Gen Alpha kid was talking about the different types of streamer attachments for his phones. I don't get this shit and I think Gen Alpha and zoomers are retarded to play premium console games on their tiny phones. Think about watching Lord of the Rings trilogy on your fucking phone. Why?
They're pointless and everyone knows this, the only people buying them is spics who want to play some "competitive" mobile games
>>719413926The biggest problem with gaming on a phone is shitty controls.
>>719413654"Gaming" phones are usually pretty good if you are looking for good battery life and faster charge rates and good high refresh rate screens, but are shit if you are a normalfag who cares about camera quality and aesthetics. They are overpriced to shit though, but phones depreciate in value extremely quickly outside of iToddler phones so you can get a year old phone often for 50% off. I always buy a gen old phone when I want to upgrade, which isn't often anymore. The big mainstream phones are nearly unusable with how much AI shit they shove down your throat and harvest your data, so getting one of these with a xboxhueg battery and flashing a custom ROM on it that isn't a privacy nightmare is the way to go.
>>719413654There's zero good games on mobile, and chink consoles for emulation are cheaper and more functional with a better battery
>>719414257I'd say the biggest problem is the controller support issue. It's a hassle to have them work on phones.
>>719413654I'm just mad they're the only phones with under display cameras. Fuck your holes in my screen, I don't even use the goddamn selfie camera.
>>719414694Get the Nubia ones, they're literally the same shit but IP resistant and with better camera
>>719413654I don't leave my house, so everything portable, phones, switch, is just a waste.
I can emulate switch perfect on my phone
>>719414860Switch 1, sure. But that's not a high bar.
>>719413654Wtf is a gaming phone and does it have actual controls? If it doesn't then they immediately get mogged by chinkhelds.
gaming phones ARE useless, a xiaomi poco phone for $300 or so can run gamecube, wii and PS2 and that's literally everything you're gonna emulate on android (nothing past that is in an acceptable state)buy an MCON and a poco phone if you desperately need a phone that can play video gamesalso make sure your carrier is t-mobile or i think verizon, AT&T and some other phone carriers that use the same band technology get pissed if yoir phone's not on their whitelist
>>719415004Most of the gaming phones have R and L trigger buttons. But on screen touch buttons. But you can also just get one of these things for your phone.
>>719413654>shit thermals>shit controls>shit performance>shit battery life>shit gameplaythe only way in which a phone is even remotely useful is as an emulation machine with controllers hooked upthe only reason gaming on phones never took off is because publishers hate, and I mean HATE that they're (still) not as locked down as cucksoles. don't worry though, in 2026 jewgle will end emulation and piracy on phones for good
There's no phone games that require any real amount of cpu / gpu power.>muh emulationI'd rather get a dedicated handheld for that instead of having to fuck around with bluetooth controllers or phone-holder-controllers.
>>719415832>I'd rather get a dedicated handheldall chinkhelds are getting fucked up the ass by the changes at >>719415702if it's not (((signed))) with an (((approved signature))) then it's not gonna install> no phone games that require any real amount of cpu / gpu power.games are starting to require 8 fucking gb of ram. that's huge
>>719415702>dramatically impact retro emulationRetroarch is still on the play store which is basically everything covered from ps2/gamecube down and I'm sure all the standalone emulators are also still on there if you don't like that. Fucking dolphin is on there and nintendo hasn't taken action. Sucks for the people doing switch emulation I guess though lol
>>719414257>>719414651I have this and it works perfectly.Replayed Hollow knight recently, i hope someone also ports silksong to android
get a usb port extension thing for your phone and hook it up to the tv and connect your xbox controller and hdmi and external harddrive and it just werks. i havent played anyting past ps2 yet but im sure it would work fine
>>719417735>i-it's still on!just like retrofag is no longer on xbox? kicking them off appstores is as easy as pressing one button
>>719413654phone processing power is irrelevant now that everything can run drastic at 8x speed + increased resolution. you don't need more.
>>719418686Alright cool you can go ahead and keep speculating and doomposting yourself into a fetal position, lol. COMPLETELY UNRELATED policy only tangentially affecting emulation (JUST SWITCH USERS) because of how massively sweeping of a change it is, but yeah google is looking to specifically end fags playing old games.
>>719413926Why not buy a Steam Deck then, if you want to play PS4 era games?
>>719415702Retroarch is on the official Google play store and that has pretty much every emulator built in
>>719414056You're in luck then! All play up to (& including) PS1.
>>719415702wtf is this misinformation? drastic was removed because of the developer, no moderation was involved there
>>719413654I feel that board quality would improve by at least 200% if anybody that even considered playing a video game on a phone was permanently barred from posting.
>>719419430Professor layton's mobile port is intuitive and fun to play on my commute. I will not apologize
>>719419373>I don't see the problem with everyone who wants to develop software having to wear a star of david like a jewof course you wouldn't shlomoif this isn't stopped apps like tachiyomi and mihon are fucking dead
>>719419902And so are any revanced apps and modded apks.Google is ending piracy for good
>>719419040Can a steam Deck make phone calls?
>>719418370based gamesaar enjoyer. bought mine for 20-30 bucks and it also works perfectly. works with everything out of the box and no (noticeable) input delay
>>719419902holy FUCK you are a schizophrenic nigger, WHO ARE YOU QUOTING? BECAUSE THAT CERTAINLY WASNT ME>wtf is this misinformation? drastic was removed because of the developer, no moderation was involved there>I don't see the problem with everyone who wants to develop software having to wear a star of david like a jewSAME PERSON RIGHT? OH MY FUCKING GOD TAKE YOUR MEDS
>>719420885Why do you call it "gamesaar"?
>>719413654"Gaming phones" don't have buttons, so they're stupid. If they had buttons, then we could talk.
>>719422578nta, but the brand is called gameSIR, saar is a joke about indian accent
>>719413654>So what's the point?I'm poor and they are better than a pc I could get in the same price range.
>phone>gaming
>>719419040>DURR WHY NOT BUY SOMETHING THATS 5X BIGGER AND DOESNT FIT IN YOUR POCKET???valvies are truly a nuisance
>>719414694>I'm just mad they're the only phones with under display camerasThe samsung fold had them, but they removed it, although having had the fold 5, it was pretty noticeable since half the pixels in the circle were missing.
>>719413926The biggest problem with gaming phones is no good games on phones.
>>719413654I once played through Earthbound on a mid-range Sony phone. This included save state scumming for all 1:128 drops. I had a really great time and my phone's battery lasted very long. It depends on the game being played. I think I may have had Airplane Mode enabled when playing, which helped.
