I’ve been playing Minecraft on my iPhone and am considering a handheld to play more comfortably. Any recommendations?

Retroid Pocket 5 feels amazing running either the Android version or Bedrock via Winlator!

Aya Neo, let’s you play the PC versions of it.

Probably the Steam Deck, since it lets you play both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition

Definitely one of the newer Retroid devices. I have been playing on my RG405M but unfortunately the screen ratio and size makes it a bit of a challenge with some of the UI overlapping itself.

A Bluetooth controller or one of those telescoping ones though would probably be even better than that especially if you have a decent phone. I don’t really use this method because the Bluetooth method feels a bit awkward and the telescoping controller involves removing my case which is annoying and it prevents me from using my phone while I play.

Can definitely confirm that there are several very playable avenue on Retroid Pocket 5: Android, Windows Bedrock via Winlator, Linux via Portmaster, the Switch version via Yuzu, the 3DS version via Lime3DS. I have not tested the Vita version via Vita3K or the PS3 version on Rocknix yet.

Have you considered a Bluetooth controller like the Gamesir G8 Plus?

The iPhone, if recent, is way more powerful than any of those other options. On Switch, the viewing distance is very short and it’s slow to generate chunks.
