There hasn't been a Tegra phone since the 4i/4 series, and going by trends of the K1, you can expect the X1 to be featured in maybe 2 or 3 tablets, and maybe 5 or 6 Chromebooks by the time next year, after they've announced the X1's successor. Nvidia's Tegra SoC's haven't been fit for smartphones for quite some time. Tegra SoC's get too hot and eat too much batter for smartphone use.
And the S6's GPU is quite good. Among one of the best commercially available on ARM right now behind. Nothing poor or slow about it. While driving a QHD screen resolution isn't helpful to battery life or GPU performance; although it is almost, but not quite as powerful as K1's GPU, its still much more efficient and runs alot more cooler. Dolphin's shortcomings is mostly in the software. A powerful device helps, but Dolphin on Android still has a ways to go.
Putting the S6's lackluster performance in dolphin out here as a dolphin failure is just false. The blame is on ARM for simply providing inferior slow drivers. Until that is fixed the S6 won't be running dolphin as well as the Tegra competition. There's no magic optimization that will fix bad firmware design. Dolphin on android has made amazing improvements, but you will never see dolphin bending over backwards to make certain SoC hardware work better, because it's not their problem. Dolphins shortcomings are mostly in the device GPU drivers, because the actual emulator runs great on devices with proper well designed drivers, like the K1 and X1. Say what you want about the abysmal availability, it doesn't change the fact that Tegra chips are just better at this.
