    1. I’m gaming in moonlight so it needs a good decoder
    2. I’m way too poor for a steam deck

    Slide in a 3 here just cause termux x11 + box64droid is really coming along well and I want to be able to play all my games in my phone lol. Especially cause where I work has a lot of down time, but obviously not room for a full pc

      I’m gaming in moonlight so it needs a good decoder

      Almost any modern SoC can decode 1080p60 HEVC in real-time. That part is handled in dedicated hardware; the speed of the CPU or GPU next to it does not matter.

        Thank God I referred to that dedicated hardware by name eh? Did some research and the fair phone supports hvec at 8 bit, not 10.

        Personally that looks a bit washed out, and the battery wouldn’t hold up too well - so it’d be a pass for me

        Edit: the fair phone 4 would fair (lol) a lot better though

          You did not specify that you need a 10-bit capable decoder. Given that the screen is 8-bit, that would be kind of unusual to have outside of niche applications such as this one.

          8 vs. 10 bit shouldn’t make the image look better outside of toning down banding artefacts. There might be an indirect colour transformation taking place here.
