Guys I can’t afford a gaming pc because it is way too expensive also POCO F1 is the only cheapest phone I’ve found and I have seen videos of these games I listed running on POCO F1 with 30Fps also I want to emulate Wii games on a phone because idk it just feels more special and awesome to me also some of these phones such as K20 pro or one plus aren’t even available in my country

Actually I found this phone called OnePlus 7 it has 6GB Ram 128 GB Rom and Snapdragon 855 and it’s also very cheap should i go for this phone instead the Poco F1?

The absolute best smartphones, the $1000 ones, will be whipped handily by a $500 budget gaming PC. If you are willing to buy used, you can bring that price down to around $300 for an excellent budget system. And it's a gaming PC, so you could play -anything- on it, with any control method you want, and you can upgrade it with better parts in the future! So it could play Cyberpunk, Balder's Gate 3, Overwatch, whatever! (at appropriate resolutions and settings balancing the game's demands with your hardware performance, I mean, it is a budget system, don't expect 4k60 ultra settings in a 2019 title!)
If playing video games on a budget is your goal, then smartphones are a terrible choice. You have to throw a lot of money into a smartphone to get ok-ish gaming performance, and even then you'll be getting garbage video drivers, thermal throttling, a terrible OS, on and on. Dolphin is especially hurt by bad drivers and OS issues. A lot of cheap and midrange phones ship 64-bit CPUs, but ship 32-bit OSes to skimp on RAM. Dolphin cannot run on those phones -whatsoever-.
The absolute cheapest way to play video games is consoles, hands down. A Switch or PS4 are great gaming machines and super cheap! But this is the Dolphin forums, and it's a nighmare to get Dolphin to run on them and even if you did their CPUs are way too weak for Dolphin so, so I ignored that option.

I don’t buy used stuff because I don’t like using stuff which is already used by people also I can’t seem to find a cheap gaming pc online and I also don’t know how to build one and as I mentioned before I wanna emulate Wii games on a phone because I wanna try out something different like i don’t really know playing console games on a phone seems very awesome to me that’s why I wanna buy a phone
I think I’m going for the OnePlus 7 because it has Snapdragon 855 and it’s the same price as Poco but a little high and I have seen videos where people are running games with 30fps without any problem on OnePlus 7 so I don’t think there should be any speed problems and just to mention again I don’t wanna emulate on a pc alright because emulating on a smartphone seems more cool to me so whatever thanks for replying people sorry if you don’t understand me at some parts because my English just really sucks

If you do want to run Dolphin on a phone, the OnePlus 7 is one of the better choices. Just keep in mind that no phone is perfect for running Dolphin.

Thanks! Guess I’ll start saving up for OnePlus 7. Also no phone is perfect for dolphin because there isn’t a perfect phone available yet?
I've got a 2nd hand pocoF1, and with some tweaks, most games I've tried run decently enough(on MMJ build).
I tried web of shadows, and the worst issue was configuring controls

Nice, I was about to buy POCO F1 but I just found out OnePlus 7 is also a cheap phone with SD 855 so I'm going for that phone. Also controls aren't an issue for me because I know how to configure the controls and I have a PS4 controller to use with the Dolphin Emulator :p
I use Oneplus 7T Pro with Xbox one s Bluetooth controller and a clip to attach to the phone.
I suggest an 855 phone.
