DroidDeck compatible devices

DroidDeck support is decided by the GPU. The README's rule: Android 9 or newer, with an Adreno 730 or newer or any Adreno 8xx. Adreno 6xx is experimental. Mali, Xclipse, PowerVR and Adreno 710 are unsupported.

What each status means

"Supported" is about the GPU class the project targets. It is not a promise that every game runs well. Real-world results depend on the game, cooling, the driver the app installs for your chip, and the DroidDeck version. The project collects device reports on its Discord.

Chips and GPUs

Phones are sold by model name, but what matters is the chip inside and its GPU. Here are the chips people ask about, with the GPU each one uses.

Two chips deserve a note. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 (Adreno 725) and 7 Gen 3 (Adreno 720) sit just below the Adreno 730 line, and the README neither supports nor rules them out by name. Some websites list the 7+ Gen 2 as supported; by the README's own rule it is not, so we mark it "not listed". The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 uses an Adreno 732, which is above the line.

Phones and handhelds

Handhelds are the sweet spot

The README describes DroidDeck as bringing Steam to "your Adreno handheld", and Android gaming handhelds are where it makes the most sense: they have built-in controls, active cooling and big batteries. The AYN Odin 2 family and the Base, Pro and Max models of the AYN Thor use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and are supported, as are Retroid's newer Pocket 6 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) and Pocket Nova (the QCS8550, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 variant without a modem). Popular handhelds built on the Snapdragon 865, such as the Retroid Pocket 5, the Retroid Pocket Mini and the Thor Lite, fall into the experimental Adreno 6xx group, and the Dimensity 1100 version of the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is unsupported.

Samsung: check which chip you have

Samsung sells some Galaxy models with a Snapdragon chip in one country and an Exynos chip in another. Exynos chips use AMD-based Xclipse GPUs, which DroidDeck does not support. The Galaxy S23 and S25 series use Snapdragon everywhere. The Galaxy S24 Ultra uses Snapdragon everywhere, but the S24 and S24+ use Exynos 2400 in most of Europe and many other regions. The S22 series is Snapdragon in the US and China and Exynos 2200 in Europe. To check, open Settings › About phone › Software information or install a CPU information app and read the chipset name.

Pixel, MediaTek and other phones

Google Pixel phones use Tensor chips with Mali GPUs (and PowerVR on the newest generation), so none of them can run DroidDeck. MediaTek Dimensity and Helio phones use Mali or Immortalis GPUs, also unsupported. If your phone's chip is not in the tables above, look up its GPU: anything named Adreno 730 or higher, or Adreno 8-something, matches the README's rule.

Once you know your device can run it, head to the DroidDeck install guide, or troubleshooting if it already misbehaves.

Device questions

How we check this data

The support rule comes from the DroidDeck README. Which chip a device uses, and which GPU a chip uses, we check against launch coverage and spec sheets before listing it. Last full check: 2026-10-15. Sources we used include:

• Samsung chips by region: SamMobile, Android Authority (Galaxy S25), Tom's Guide (Z Fold7 / Z Flip7).
• Gaming phones: GSMArena (ROG Phone 8), GSMArena (RedMagic 9 Pro), PhoneArena (OnePlus 11 / ROG Phone 7).
• Handhelds: RetroSpecGame (AYN Thor), Retro Catalog (Retroid Pocket 5), Time Extension (Retroid Pocket Flip 2), Retroid (Pocket 6), Retroid (Pocket Nova) and HeldGames (Pocket Nova chip).
• Chips and GPUs: Notebookcheck processor pages, and Wikipedia (Google Tensor).
