[QUOTE="Xzi, post: 10410240, member: 342429"] Depends on what you're emulating. A phone will perform just fine and have plenty of battery life for PSP and older games. That's exactly why a phone will win out for pocket space 95% of the time over this type of device, it doesn't HAVE to be dedicated solely to playing games. Definitely not an issue for someone my size, smaller devices tend to cause me finger cramping. Steam Deck OLED seems to have an even better weight balance too, looking forward to that upgrade. The fact that it costs roughly six times as much as a used Switch Lite would understandably give a lot of potential buyers pause. It's perfect for downtime at a desk job where tethering it to an outlet isn't an issue. Of course, sometimes you just wanna play retro or indie games too, at which point it's easy to extend the battery life to 6+ hours. Don't get me wrong, the Pocket S definitely looks slick enough to attract a niche audience, but there are enough of these dedicated emulation devices being churned out on a constant basis now that they rarely retain their value for more than a year or two. Would be the type of thing I'd happily buy from eBay for around $200. Just for killing a couple hours at a time, though? A Miyoo Mini Plus or Anbernic RG35xx Plus will do the trick, for $70 or less. Or even a used DS Lite, for that matter. [/QUOTE]
