MorsMortium: If you want a phone sized device, with a modem, then the pinephones would be your best bet. But theyre very weak (regular pinephone has a weak cpu and not too much ram, pinephone pro is stronger but its battery is the same, meaning less battery life) plus the pro also has driver issues yet. I use another device, or two, that can be held in hand, but is much bigger, and also is an x86 minipc instead of a phone: https://codeberg.org/MorsMortium/G2PPhone Currently i test a second device, that ill add to that repo, which im testing currently

The raw power of the Snapdragon 8 Elite plus the significant improvements in x86 emulation tools like Winlator are yielding incredible results!
A lot of PC games are playable on Android thanks to this combination of better hardware and software.
According to early adopters of 8 Elite phones in China (via @cozy_OSS), games like Jedi: Fallen Order and Resident Evil 2/3/7 hit 50fps.
The only problem right now is that setting up Winlator to play PC games is far from user friendly, but it looks like companies like GameSir are working on simpler solutions. Excited to see how this progresses!

📁A lot of people don't know that Android has its own version of AirDrop called Quick Share ...
Google wants to fix that by adding a new page for Quick Share in the Android setup wizard.
Here's how and why that matters.
