New Phone for Dolphin

[Davneta]

So. I currently live in portugal and im looking forward to buy a new phone. I will use it for dolphin emulation and other stuff.
What do you think of the Mi Note 3 for around 230€ with the snapdragon 660? I heard that it can emulate dolphin games very well like super mario galaxy etc...
If you think i can get a better for less i would appreciate reccomendations.
Thank you!

I saw a video on YouTube with promising results but I forgot which one but it is easily searchable.

No phone can run Super Mario Galaxy well as far as I know. Especially not any phone that costs 230€.

My bad then. But can the sd660 run dolphin decently? Or is a sd835(mi6) a huge upgrade?

It will probably run light weight games decently. With some tweaks you could get some games to play well. It should run other emulators(PPSSPP, Drastic, etc.) great, though.

So I should go with the sd 660 one. I'll probably wont go with the mi note 3 but with the mi 6x which is basically the same but its running OREO and it looks way more beautiful (18*9 aspect ratio, 6 inch screen) etc

If we're disregarding Dolphin, sure.

Just note that you'll have an awful time with Dolphin on anything but top end SoCs.

I now have the chance to buy a mi6 with 128gb storage and 6gb of ram and a sd 835 for 300€. It would run majority of the games right?

[Helios]

No phone exists that will run a majority of games in Dolphin at full speed without severe graphical glitches.

I guess what I'm trying to get across is: It's a very bad idea to base your phone purchase based off of it's ability to run Dolphin. Dolphin for Android is largely unmaintained and is hampered by bad GPU drivers and aggressive thermal profiles we can't do much about.

I mean, im not here to say that you're wrong or whatever, but ive seen some pretty good results with dolphin on the mi6 on youtube. All i want is 30 fps, im not going to play the most intensive games tho
