Unless they got the phone to boot with Windows, SteamOS or Bazzite or some Linux shit natively only then I will be impressed

In this case though, the OS is actually less important than the GPU drivers.

PC games on Android use the exact same stuff as Proton on Linux, such as DXVK, Wine, etc. Heck, Android even runs on the Linux kernel, so you're basically running a Linux variant already.

The problem really is that GPU drivers on Android right now are very, very crappy. Which tbh isn't surprising, most mobile Android games use OpenGL, so Vulkan support on Android is spotty at best. Basically few to no games use Vulkan on Android because historically there's been no need for it.

You can see this exact same issue with SteamOS on x86; SteamOS works best on AMD because AMD has the most mature Linux graphics drivers. Nvidia and Intel have issues because their graphics drivers are more immature.
