handheld gaming pc vs smartphone

[zader]

I have saved up $2000 nzd and was going to buy a Samsung s24 ultra I currently have a an s21 non ultra i use for gaming and searching the web when I cannot be bothered using my gaming pc . I don't care about the camera just the performance and I just learnt about handhelds and was wondering if buying an Asus rog ally x and something like a Samsung a55 might be better than just the s24 ultra.

I don't think any of that is a good investment.

That depends on which game you want to play.

If you play mobile games that available on app store, a good phone might be better.
But if you mainly play pc games on steam or gog, go with handheld pc.

use smartphone for phone and other apps like google map

video game and video are optional

I like both but my largest concern would be would I enjoy playing pc games that I normally play with mouse and keyboard using thumb sticks instead. But I probably equally if not more dislike smartphone controls.

Phones are not good platforms for gaming, except for the most mind-melting casual fare. Even if you get a controller with a mounting clip, it's unwieldy.
