    If you have a recent flagship android phone you probably don’t need a Steam Deck.

    My old Samsung S23 Ultra and a phone cooler and controller is basically just as good as a steam deck these days. I was playing Hades next to my gf last night, we were both playing the same game and it looked way better on my setup and the game ran smooth for both of us.

    Compared to the Steam Deck my phone is 120hz and nearly double the resolution, The snapdragon 8 gen 2 CPU and Adreno 740 GPU have more Gflops, It only has 12gb of ram vs the Steam Deck’s 16gb. The Steam Deck also runs on Linux and has more compatibility. I’d rather have a Steam Deck personally but it’s hard to justify buying it when I have something that is nearly just as good.

    I was about to buy a some kinda pc handheld then stumbled upon the Odin 3 and then realized my phone is basically the same specs and basically with some decent cooling and how far GameNaitive has come, it’s a pretty decent gaming handheld. Not to mention this phone uses the aluminum back to help cool so adding on cooling is super easy. I use the GameSir X5 phone controller and the FX5 Thermoelectric Cooler which I kinda have to angle around my camera to get over the cpu and gpu but it works quite well.

    I have an another one with a super beat up screen that still works that I’m going to try and setup in dex mode for a steam console/emulation station on one of my TVs. There are even guys taking apart phones and putting them in these cute little baby pc towers with crazy cooling on YouTube.

    Anyways I didn’t know all this till recently so just spreading the word.

    Remember that solid gold plaque they gave Trump?

    People need to realize the best way to fight these techno fascists is to stop buying and using their products.

    I’ve got so many friends who still trust Apple and are so invested in the brand and their services and even though they disagree stuff this stuff like this, they can’t take action because they are in too deep. I’m a Graphene guy but for my friends sake I really wish there was an alternative phone OS for iphones.
