Years ago. You want to game on a modern device, get a BlackBerry. Those physical keys are infinitely better than using touchscreen bullshit to play.

Samsung might do it since they're fond of shitty design.

>>61391563
This thing was horrible at being a phone and horrible at being a camera. At what point would it become shitty to you?

I dunno, my dad's got an S4 and he likes it. Isn't that just an S4 with a zoom lens? I mean if I had to get an S4 I'd certainly get it. I hate having no optical zoom.

>>61391563
Try to carry it in your pocket, then we'll talk.

>>61391745
I've carried larger devices in my pocket, actual point and shoots for example, in addition to my phone. I'd happily carry this in my pocket.

>>61391839

>>61389966
>gaming on a phone
Yeah, if you want a shit experience with meh graphics, kindof shit controls, on a screen size designed for ants. Phone games aren't all terrible, but there's a very low ceiling for greatness on current touch games, and even having button controls will leave a lot to be desired.
PCs are for gaming all around, consoles make the grade but are sub-par, and anything mobile that's not really specifically for gaming like the switch is just going to be unimpressive and mostly fit for snes emulators.

>>61391919
Phones are more than enough for emulation, if they had controls they'd be great for playing old games

>>61391882
Okay... compare it to the real S4.

They can still work.
I really thought Nintendo would release their Switch nubs to accommodate any type of mobile device.

>>61393768
They're both cellphones, either is fine, the Zoom is preferable as it actually has optical zoom though.

>>61393809

>>61391745
Have you never taken pictures that aren't selfies in your entire life? As fat as these cellphones might be, I'd kill to have a reasonably sized smartphone with a decent sensor and a zoom lens. It's still going to be much smaller than hauling a retardedly huge DSLR all over the fucking place.

Samsung manages to fuck everything up but you're retarded if you think a big lens on a smartphone is somehow a bad thing.

>>61389966
Hopefully never.

>>61394464
Gaming tablets already exist so yeah...

Cheap droid (okay they're shit, but just get a cheap one for games) + bluetooth game controller that lets you clamp the droid in the top. Job's a goodun.

I have the QD, got it very good condition in box for $4 at a flea market. Fascinating device.

>>61394255
you are an idiot please kys

>>61396036
Learn to take a joke you dumb faggot.

Never, the physical buttons would never work with any game unless they write special software to map the buttons to areas of the screen for each app and then the price rises to pay programmers, or they have the physical buttons act like a hard wired gamepad but that would be the smart thing and when has any phone company done the smart thing?

>Games that aren't complete ass on a phone when
Let's not put the cart before the horse.

>>61389966
It's already the case

>>61390010

it's danm near a decade..

Worthwhile mobile VR when?

Do any smartphones even have 90+ FPS displays?

Just get the Pyra, it has 4G capabilities so you can also text/call, it runs full debian linux so you are never far away from your desktop - it's in your pocket. With a small bluetooth headset it can completely replace your cell phone. You also have the choice of using the built in mic and speaker, if you want.

>>61402643
Forgot link.

It's the successor to the open pandora, but build and designed by a new team so there is nothing to worry about.

>wanting to buy an autism broadcaster
>wanting android """""games"""""
ew

Android has shit power management for gaming. Without rooting my phone and restricting performance some games are impossible to play.

>>61394243
That thing has a horrendous screen and battery life. On top of that it's hardware is hopelessly outdated by this point, it probably doesn't even support anything past 4.0

>>61404659
Yes, but OP asked for "gaming smartphones", not "GOOD gaming smartphones".

>>61389966
This really hinges on getting a GPU that you can shoehorn into a phone without it catching on fire. As soon as they can achieve that, I would expect gaming phones. So probably another 3-5 years

>>61391672
I still have one of these loaded with emulators. Pretty cool if a little underpowered.

>>61402643
The form factor is a deal breaker. You can't even bring it to your ear to make a phone call, not to mention the fact that it's shaped like a brick. Not pocket friendly.
That thing fills only a very specific niche.

>>61391430
Agreed. Pokemon and Fire Emblem on the Q10 is smooth and perfect with RetroArch BB10 port.
Plays anything through Game Boy Advance perfectly and with the keyboard it's great.

>>61391848
What's wrong with them? I would assume that it's the quality.

>>61410041
outdated specs and lack of support, their newest one has pretty good specs but is way overpriced.

Portrait keyboards are shit...especially for gaming.

The Sony expedia tried this concept once in a very half assed manner.

>>61389966
Yeah if basement dwelling autists and redditfags had any money maybe, you just have to wait until touchscreens are advanced enough.

>>61389966
why would anyone want dedicated buttons on a device that they would use in a professional setting?

When someone finally makes a mobile game that doesn't suck. Every decent game is either available for PC or for a Nintendo console.

>>61414198
>that they would use in a professional setting?

What authoritarian shit hole do you live in where people give a crap about what phone you use?

>>61393872
senpai that thing runs nothing like an actual S4, it'd be far too slow

i really value having a separate device and i hope things like handheld consoles never go away and i hope nintendo follows up the 3ds instead of just going in on this tablet type shit

>>61389966
Now, any dev worth a shit builds for other platforms though and most phone game devs are shitty.

Learn to program, make a not shit game for phones, rake in money.

>>61402643
You've been shilling that piece of shit for days now, stop it.

>>61415052
Lower you expectations. There are some fun mobile games you can play to pass the time.

>>61418156
What? I made one thread about it yesterday. If other people have made threads or talked about it, then that simply just goes to show you how popular it is and how many people want it.

>>61402643
>>61402656
>still not shipping after seeing people post about it for 2 years
>the specs are now 5 years out of date
>still over $500
No thanks.

>>61418352
Perfection takes time. They're very close to mass production. Everything on the Pyra has been extensively thought out. Revision after revision guarantees a perfect piece of tech. Flaws have been worked out in a logical way. Unlike big companies who rely on users to basically beta test their device, the Pyra team is dedicated to releasing only the best product it can.With more than 1000 units already preordered, you can see many people trust the Pyra team to deliver. Also, imagine how many more people will buy a Pyra after they mass produce and see the preordering people got their device? It'll sell like crazy.

>>61418296
>wasting time on mediocre or bad games
Games are already a waste of time. If I'm going to play games, I'm going to play exclusively good games.

>>61418391
Not him but this sound like wishful thinking.

>you can see how many people trust the Pyra team to deliver

You had to go and trigger me didn't you? THAT'S AN APPEAL TO POPULARITY. LEARN LOGIC REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>61418391
>Also, imagine how many more people will buy a Pyra after they mass produce and see the preordering people got their device?
Not likely when they can get the x86 compatible GPD Win with better specs for the same price without having to wait.

>>61400935
really ? i thought n gage was a huge hit. i had the QD and it was fantastic. my classmates borrowed it all the time

>>61418331
>other people wanting something that can't even run emulators without crashing
Nice try. You're welcome to stop posting at any time.

>>61418391
This literally reads like a marketing slide. Stop shilling your shitbox please.
