      You can buy a $15 phone clip to attach your phone to your controller, and enjoy remote play that way.

          There are controller cradles for tablets as well. The best display I have is the 10" 1600p 120Hz display of my tablet.

          You can connect the phone via USB-C to any hdmi display.

          I use it often to stream games from my PC to a different room

              It is if you get a tablet with a case that can prop it up and then use a wireless controller. You’re being inflexible, there are options out there other than a portal. My Lenovo tablet was 99 pounds brand new and a case came with it to prop it.

                  You’re right, they aren’t comparable. If you get a tablet you can basically use it as a computer as well as for streaming games within your own house.

                  Don’t worry, I get what you mean. They’re really nit comparable. When you have to do a bunch of extra things to compete, you’re not really competing.

      I think the Logitech G Cloud would fit in that category, when on sale (otherwise it’s $350 USD, so at that point you might as well get the 64G Deck).
      Afaict it’s $250 USD with a promo code now and since it’s basically a tweaked Android ROM, you can stream Game pass, your PS4/PS5 (via PS Play) or Geforce Now and even do some light emulation (up to DC just fine).
      Ergonomics and screen are pretty great from what I recall, after testing one a few months ago.

          That was on Logitech’s website and after adding it to the cart, no idea about Amazon.
          It might not look the part, but I’m talking from experience and it was just a notch below the Deck’s ergonomics tbh.
          I think that’s debatable, as many still prefer the Xbox controller design and layout, but I’m biased towards the Dual Sense (as well?), sure.
          And please, for the love of every other real handheld that came before it, don’t abbreviate it as PSP…

          The PlayStation Portable was the best controller ever? I hope that is a typo because that horrible nubbin position gave me wrist problems for life.

            I still can’t get over how much of an obvious blunder it was to only have one analog stick on the PSP.

          Edit: oh… Yeah there’s already a “Sony PSP.”

      I read it again and I will suggest tablets and iPhones with a controller connected.
