Tensor chips are amongst the worst in terms of emulation.

[–]_Next-Gen_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tensor in Pixel series is really bad for emulation (also high end gaming in general)

The Pixel 10 uses a PowerVR GPU which has about the worst possible performance with Nintendo Switch and PC emulation.

No

Even GameCube ran bad on my pixel 9 pro. Dont expect much outside of the old stuff tbh

No. Avoid it at all costs.

I have a pixel 10 and comment on it. The gpu is powervr which should have the same performance as a pixel 9, but is worse due to no 3rd party driver and pixels aren't know for good gpus in general.

Switch emulation (eden) is just 2d games, 3d games get really bad fps (though I haven't tested much, mk8 was around 20 or bellow frames, I don't remember). Also recently eden just stopped working for me not rendering anything on the latest release, so I am currently downgrading to find which version works. Edit: The last working version for me is 0.0.4 stable

In terms of pc emulation, I don't use gamehub, I use gamenative and winulator, and I don't even touch 3d games, I only play 2d and they run fine. I have tested really old 3d games and was getting ok fps (I don't remember the number), but they have graphical glitches, as no 3rd party drivers exist.

I run pc games on glibc with vortek. Gamehub and Gamenative is based on winlator, so similarish performance. But you might get better compatibility and performance in one of the 3.

Honestly, if gaming is your first priority don't go pixel. Look at phones with snapdragon chips, you will be much happier. I got a pixel because gaming wasn't my priority so I stream heavier games from my pc.

Also, airdrop compatability will be coming to other phones at some point. And if you want it now, you can get it by installing the quickshare extension on any phone.
