What do you think about Ayn portable android consoles?
Actually I never heard of this device before and it seems a little… useless for me.
I’m still not convinced of android as a gaming system and so the only thing left would be emulation. (And that’s what the manufacturer seams to be pointing at).
However I feel like I could get the same out of my phone by using an Bluetooth controller for a much lower price (since I already have a phone). Plus getting the benefits of probably longer update support.
Maybe for people wanting to use a smaller or low spec phone and have a separate device (only for emulation) on the go, this makes more sense.
Yeah. It’s not for me, but I see the appeal of having a dedicated device. Battery can be a premium and using it on emulation when you need it for so much more than that can be a tough ask
I’m in the same boat, I have RG35XX because of its form factor. It is a nice $50 device for old games and it’s very portable. These on the other hand seem like they are the size of Switch lite, at that point I might as well get one of those attachable controllers for my older android phone and run games on that.
There is actually a growing market for this kind of consoles. This is also quite cheap: https://anbernic.com/
Agreeing with you, but if you want to try android with a controller try a gamevice flex. Works with cases, has actual pd charging passthru and no bluetooth delay.
I evaluated 10+ controllers and nobody online even talks about the flex but I have found it to be the absolute best one.
I decided to go with a gamesir sx2 pro controller for my phone and it’s running well for most ps2 games. I’m running aether sx2 on my s10e btw.
I have a Pro and it is great for travel. It handles basically everything I’ve thrown at it up to N64/PS1 era as well as some PS2 games with no issue. I don’t play any native android games so I can’t speak to that and I don’t do any tv/movie streaming but for an emulation device I am happy with it
