Ok, here we go:
1. I don't know which Citra version he is using, but saying you couldn't scale to 2x in Snapdragon 865 is a plain LIE, I've been playing Super Mario 3d Land and Mario Kart 7 all the way up to 4x resolution scaling AND xBRZ Freescale texture scaling enabled TOGETHER (hell, even turning on Google Cardboard or side-by-side stereoscopics), and it rarely slows down EVEN WHEN THE PHONE GETS TOO HOT. I only scale down to 3x to preserve my battery (and because you can only tell the difference between 3x and 4x in a 1080p screen if you try really hard while having your phone attached to your face into a VR goggle)
2. I don't know which hacks and enhancements he's using in Dolphin, but for what he showed, it's the exact same performance as in S865. In fact, you can get Super Mario Sunshine, F-Zero GX, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, and a lot other games to run in 20:9 widescreen Gecko code at 720P (2x) just fine in S865. I got REALLY disappointed that S888 couldn't scale up to 3x (1080p). Also it's a lie that you couldn't do 720p in S865. Maybe because he is trying to use Vulkan instead of OpenGL (Vulkan is slower indeed, but still playable with no slowdowns with decent tweaking at 720p)
3. The God of War 2 performance in Damon Ps2 Pro is the same in both S865 and S888.
After seeing that, I can say with 100% confidence: S888 is not that much better for emulation than S865. DON'T go for S888, try S870 instead (it's cheaper).
Citra @ 3x resolution + xBRZ freescale textures, no speed limiter (Poco F2 Pro/S865):
