I'm looking to get a dedicated Android handheld for some Android games as well as some PS2 GC emulation. I also will probably use it a lot for streaming games from my gaming PC at home. I already have a Steam Deck and Switch OLED. I also have a controller for my Z Fold 4 but I hate having to work with on screen control only apps. I just wanna pick up a device, start a game and play. I'm looking at either the Retroid Pocket 3+ for it's size and great reviews, but I'm also interested in the Odin Lite but I hear mixed reviews on that one. What do you suggest?
EDIT: Pulled the trigger on the RP3+. I think it's a good compromise of price / performance

I was gonna say the RP3+ sounds like what you want, since you've the got the steam deck for when you need more power.

isnt the RP3+ a bit under powered for PS2 emulation? Im pretty sure most games are not playable unless you underclock/hack/downscale. Also, they are mostly just android devices, you are still have the 'screen control only apps problem, thou they might streamline how to configure and link screen positons to buttons

From the videos I've seen online, the RP3+ does have a native app you can slide in from the right to map buttons on the screen per app I believe.

it's on sale not too! But, the shipping is $66. I can't justify paying a shipping price that high; that's a 3rd of the cost of the item
