  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.

    You are forgetting one of the main advantage pf 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 to that is draw but pc games vs android games? I don’t think there is even a competition there.

      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.

        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.

      Unless the user is mostly searching for an emulation device. For that use case, android can prove to be quite decent.

      But personally, I’m on the deck team too 😁
