We know how this goes. You're running with reduced settings, running PAL games so fullspeed is fewer FPS, running only lightweight games and/or running in easy to run areas, on and on, and using that to create a narrative that the game runs fullspeed at every game. For example, you managed to get Twilight Princess running "fullspeed" - except as soon as you reach kakariko village it will slow down, and slow to a crawl in hyrule field. It's deceptive, and we're upset by this because we're the ones who will need to deal with the ramifications of this: users will believe this, buy the device, then complain here when it doesn't meet their expectations. The reality is far, far more complicated. It might be a fun experiment for you, but your exaggeration and simplification of this issue is going to cause a lot of problems for us.
To be clear, I was joking with the "shame" thing!
Jesus calm down man, the guy just had a question. It's the forums, like do you have guidelines here that people can t ask questions, no, so just have a civil convo. Like just answer politely no need to do name calling and act like the world is coming to an end.

It's OEM DVFS, nothing to do with Dolphin builds
So, is it wort it to get the s8 for gamecube emulation or wait?

If you want to play Mario sunshine or simple games yes. If you want it to be flawless then no, it's not possible, it's super buggy
The S8 appears not to be able to hold full speed in a lot of popular games without nasty hacks that tend to break a lot of things. That likely won't change anytime soon.
It's okay for Dolphin. It will run some games at fullspeed (often with fiddling required that will cause bugs), but most won't be fullspeed. So if you want a phone with occasional Dolphin use as a perk, it works pretty well! Buuut if you want it as a primary means of playing games, it's not really a good option.
My question is all new devices with SD 835 like Sony Xperia xz premium, htc11 and the next one plus 5 will have the same results for this year? Or are there some devices that have more power to play occasionally GameCube games?

IMO it's worth installing dolphin if you have a sd835 device, but is not worth buying such a device for playing dolphin.
And indeed, all of they should perform similiar, if they fit in the same thermal butget.

I would suggest waiting for Google's Pixel 2 or the OnePlus 5 instead. You'll get the best 835 performance possible without all the Samsung scruff.
For many many GameCube games, the Galaxy s8 (835) works very well(for a phone obviously). I've posted a 6 different videos, will continue to test more games. Other games that run very well: Super Mario Sunshine, Extreme G3, Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil 4, Crash Team Racing, Capcom vs SNK 2, Dragon Ball Z 2, I've tested for up to 30-45 min, and it still runs great.
This list is a bit outdated, but the s8 can run many of these games at 1x the resolution with playable FPS.

If you are already shopping for a phone, the S8 alone is a heck of a phone. But dont expect it to run dolphin flawlessly. Because well, its a phone. But overall, to be able to have a playable GameCube game on a phone is really neat.
