Hi, i will pick a smartphone pretty soon and i'm in doubt what model will be better to run Dolphin.
These are the Smartphones i am looking for:

Zenfone 3 max
model: ZC553KL- 4H091BR

Motorola G5

Which one is better? Do you think any other model that's good?

The Motorola G5 is shipped with a 32 bit Android and does NOT support dolphin. No clue about the other one.

No phone shown above would probably run DE very well.

I'd say Google's Pixel is probably your best bet currently. I've seen videos of that phone playing Zelda Twilight Princess(Gamecube) and Resident Evil 4(Gamecube) at pretty good framerates with Vulcan enabled. Or if you can wait a few months, you'll have the Galaxy S8, a new One Plus and Google's Pixel 2 to choose from.

None of them will be as fast as Shield TV, that's still struggling to play most Gamecube games.

Don't compare shield tv with a phone.

At this moment the one plus 3T is the best phone for dolphin.
Have full gles 3.2 support + Vulkan
Both backend work perfectly
