I have the S23 ultra, which has about the same display
It can go very dim with just the standard slider already and on top you can toggle extra dim which has it’s own extra slider. In my pitch black room, reading white on black text I have to stop the extra dim slider to about 3/4th before it starts being too dim to see the screen.
There’s also the blue light filter slider (they call it eye comfort shield) that you can also add on top, it’ll turn everything more on the orange/yellow side making it easier on the eyes.
Otherwise, I say you can’t go wrong with the S series of samsung phones, they’ll last a long time and have the top specs of that year. The S23 has an aluminum frame and if it’s any close to mine it’s very tough, I like looking at durability tests on youtube to get a good idea of how much damage it can take. 100% you have to get a screen protector, film ones work okay, but glass protectors are wayyy better. Glass protectors just feel the same as the display, though if you plan to be rough with it film protectors are easier to replace. I got mine from whitestone, Spigen is good and well recognized too. I say to get a screen protector because just taking it in/out of your pocket after two days you’ll start seeing micro scratches, so this would help with the longevity of the device.
+1 for the Gamesir, completely dropped sitting at my desktop. Now my main screen is for shows and the secondary is for game streaming through SteamLink.
I grabbed the X2 because it seemed the most compact without sacrificing triggers or joysticks, but I now think the G8 would have been a better choice with the larger grip
You could still mod using HWFLY/INSTINCT-NX or a Picofly modchip
As i wrote on another Zotac Zone post, I’ve been looking at all the other handhelds from Asus, MSI, Lenovo, and was really disapointed in the lack of touchpads.
Shouldn’t it be a no brainer for a desktop-os-sporting handheld, especially a windows one? At least the lenovo has that interesting mouse sensor on the bottom of one of their joycon-like controller, but that’s not gonna help much when you’re holding the device.
I know! I’ve been looking at all the other handhelds from Asus, MSI, Lenovo, and was really disapointed in the lack of touchpads.

Not sure about other phones, but for samsung you can get “Sound Assistant” from the Galaxy Store. This will let you split the sound, app by app in the default volume menu that appears when you use the volume buttons.
(not for windows, OS) Maybe have a look at Bazzite? It’s supposed to be a SteamOS but Fedora based. I’ve been meaning to have a look at it eventually, so i dont know how it actually is, maybe it’s garbage for all i know
Maybe look at what’s on Itch.io , I know there are some people there releasing games made with some PSX engine. Someone remade Bloodborne
For PC handheld you could always use the Steam Link app on your phone with a controller grip. Just need to have a PC with Steam installed to run the games.
