@PerfectDark It seems interesting, but I'll stick to my core belief that modern phone/tablet operating systems are the literal worst possible choices for gaming. But, really, even for normal usage IMO they're starting to really show their age. They made lots of sense back in 2010 for 1GHz processors that performed about 1/10th as well relative to modern processors of the same speed and 256MiB of RAM to pull ahead of the interfaces that preceded them, but they have not scaled well at all and have become so messy and bloated...(Yeah, I think mobile devices should use a real OS now.)

    It runs android because on average x86 machines run worse of the battery then arms based machines (especially in this size form factor) which I would argue is the most important quality to have in a gaming handheld. Your basically trading compatibility for battery life and if you want this thing can run Linux.
