▲ 35 ▼ AYANEO Pocket Air Review - The Best $299 Android Handheld (www.youtube.com) submitted 2 years ago by simple@lemm.ee to c/retrogaming@lemmy.world 10 comments fedilink hide all child comments Hall effect joysticks and a 7350mAh battery is very impressive for this price range. I'm not that interested in android devices but this looks great for emulation.

The steam deck is really good and has better performance, but it's way bigger, has a worse screen and a smaller battery. The pocket air is probably a better option if you're looking for something more portable. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] insaneduck@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) You are forgetting one of the main advantage of steam deck - much bigger and imo much better selection of games compared to android. All games android can emulate can also be done on steam deck so that is draw but pc games vs android games? I don’t think there is even a competition there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] echo64@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (1 child) This is the retrogames community. Soo I think emulation is really the goal here. Not playing pc games on steam. So op wanting something smaller with a better screen is valid. I came to the comments thinking that oh for a little bit more you can get a steam deck so I wonder why people care. Op answered and answered well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) PS3/360 can be considered retro now, and the Deck is powerful enough to run rpcs3 and Xenia, along with Cemu and Yuzu/Ryujinx for more modern Nintendo stuff. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Seeing as there are now fully grown adults who have grown up with those consoles, I'd say yes.
