There is really no need. I also own a regular 9 Pro, the 100MHz on the CPU and +97 MHz on the GPU (ETA Prime got it wrong, the regular 8gen3 boosts its Adreno 750 to 903MHz in Diablo mode) are really not that noticeable. However, a mid-season refresh does make sense for new buyers coming from 4+ year old phones.
my OnePlus 6 is still as fast as the day I bought it. latest version of Android with lineage OS 21. tho the OnePlus 12r is looking too good right now 😂
Im using this phone as a mainline gaming platform. Android ports of older games i loved, emulators for the rest, and GeForce Now for the mmo's i play. Docked with a cooler attached (red magic also), mouse and keyboard and a monitor, works perfectly well. The only gripe i have is the storage space not being sd card expandable. That disappoints me. I would trade the headphone jack for a good sdcard reader.
I have the 9 pro, I think on paper they seem really good but they deteriorate over time,things like the cooler get dusty and less effective meaning your phone gets more hot. Yesterday mine went to 47°c in a totally normal gaming session first match,it was a bit hot outside but still it's unacceptable. Sometimes fps glitches on 60 fps while you have settings on 120,just causing lagg until you tab out and back in. Im gonna sit this one out and hopefully they get the 10pro some real upgrades because this 9S is hardly 10% better than the 9
@@AkiRalcolf Nice suggestion, but I already do that, even more than everyone else. I never take my phone outside of the house, I have a different phone for that.

Bro can you test some PC games with emulators? Because it has the overclocked GPU with cooling fan. So, I am very curious to see the performance and how long it can maintain the performance. 🤔
When testing genshin impact next time it helps if you use an account with some progress there are some location that hits heavier then monstad (up to 2x performance loss on some devices)

You can find it by just searching "phone dock with hdmi." However unless you're very interested in all of the IO that dock provides, I would suggest looking into Skull & Co's Jumpgate dock. It's about the same price, but it can double as a switch dock.
Is Libretro ever going to fix the bug in retroarch that almost makes it almost impossible to maximize the screen in dex mode? The window buttons are invisible and you kind of have to guess where they are.
I use lemuroid for easy to run systems then for more difficult ones actual specific emulators. Retroarch is nice for large libraries especially on pc but if you want n64 or more difficult to run stuff to run well you need better specific emulators.
I'm curious, do emulation station launch commands work to fix that? Or are the launch commands just totally different on android, im not that knowledgeable about emulation station for Android but I am for the desktop version
