There are plenty of ports or quality games on Android. They’re a minority, but plenty

Could someone explain what’s the big problem? They’re open source, you can still use the existing apps just fine. And with time, someone should fork them, shouldn’t they?

Nope. I have the 8 Pro. They have a gaming mode that you activate with a switch on the side. That gives you access to a space isolated for games and specific configuration options. Another useful thing of that mode is it adjusts the game aspect ratio to fill the black bars when playing with the phone connected to a TV (no stretching).

But the software doesn’t have that feature and it isn’t anywhere near as polished as Samsung’s in general.

This.

In some way, they already have, no?

If you are going to get the Gamesir, I’d recommend the X2 Pro, it’s the same you mentioned but improved, with more precise joysticks and analog triggers. That’s the one I got and it is more uncomfortable to hold than I thought, other than that good so far.

There are other options for telescopic controllers, like Razer Kishi or Backbone, with their pros and cons. And there is an upcoming controller called Vagabond Elo that seems like it’s going to be the best one, but their cringe marketing makes me not trust them.

Or you can use an Xbox or PS controller with a clip for your phone, which is obviously much more comfortable to hold. But some people say the weight distribution on some simpler clips can make your hands get tired after a while.

Wireless earphones/headphones are more expensive and sometimes inconvenient. People defending companies say “you can get a pair of wireless buds for like 20 dollars” you can, but how much are they going to last and how shitty will they feel and sound? Even when buying them for a high price, their batteries will wear out. The worst thing is adding this port doesn’t affect you in the slightest if you don’t use wired headphones, so couldn’t you just shut the fuck up if that’s the case?
