The Switch emulation project is supposedly discontinued due to Nintendo's efforts to crack down on piracy. Also playing with touch controls is very annoying and unpleasant. I am also a Nintendo fan and I enjoy my games on the console.

        Another Google HOT product?
        As pixel 7 and 8 user I need to admit, having those phones warm my.... hands...

          If you’re picking up a Google Pixel 9, you may be tempted to order yourself one of the new 45W USB-C charging bricks at the same time. The Pixel 9 will only come with a USB-C cable, and no adapter to plug it into the wall socket, and obviously you’ll want something that can charge your new phone at the fastest possible speeds.

                My S24 for 400 bucks with 7 years android update says hi. Also bet your iphone cant emulate nintendo switch. Enjoy sticking with your underwhelming AAA 60 dollar titles but I guess you iphone users love being scammed.

                  YUKI93, 16 Aug 2024Looking forward to the performance benchmarks and active ba... moreIt is completely different SoC compared to G3, different 4nm node, different cores, different amount of cores, similarity and the worst part is that it is using the same weak Mali-G715 as in Pixel 8 series, which was bad even last year.

                  In general from G3 to G4 power improvement is about 10-15%, which is not a lot, but it will be quite a bit more efficient.

That second-hand Android 8 Gen 3 for $400 must have serious hardware damage, which would explain its low price and invalidate the supposed "advantages" over a new $200 Switch. Call me when you guys Droids get 2+ years of software updates or awesome cameras ;)

                      That case makes it look humongous. I believe large phones can influence further human evolution: we'll grow larger hands, in time, and we'll look ridiculous.

                        S24 Ultra is still by far a better device.

                          Looking forward to the performance benchmarks and active battery rating. Early reviews suggest that Tensor G4 is just an improved Tensor G3, in the same way that Tensor G2 is just an improved Tensor G1.

                            Lister, 15 Aug 2024ThisNew "Active use score" for battery life is there for a slight refference but we shouldn't depend on it as it's not consistent with the results.

                            Example:

                            https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12082&idPhone2=12546

                            I could put hundreds of examples like this one.

                            How can these two phones have such a drastic difference in Endurance battery ratings and basicly the same result on a new testing app?

                            Simple.
                            The new system which measure batteries is maybe better then it used to be, but it's still not good enough and you shouldn't depend on it at all.

                                        I can find Android phones with 8 gen 3 for 400 bucks. Its not hard. And its way better purchase than 200 bucks switch I get better screen speakers easier to use and even cameras.

                                        I dont have to pay 2k bucks like your iphone has to.

                                        Also dont bring up those useless games. Just look at how flop their sales are.

                                        Im sticking to my emulation. If I really want pc games no problem its easily possible (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5zE3H65IDtM). And it runs better than your iphone anyways. Also call me when you guys actually get DeX ;)
