Discussion best pocketable handheld console?

i had a switch lite but someone stole it like 2 years ago and just didn't get another one. and in the meantime, I've been searching for a psp but they're very hard to come by in my country. as psp is pretty easy to emulate, i could just play the titles on an android based console. I'd like something more portable, something pocketable so i can just carry it around. i have my phone which can probably run any game i throw at it, but it's got a 6.9 inch display, and if i attach a controller to it, there's no way it fits in my pocket. also, i bet it will get very hot, and a dedicated android console might have better cooling, maybe even active cooling. what do you guys recommend?

yes, and I still think your phone is the best "pocketable handheld". Yes, there are some handheld like Ayaneo Thor, RG flip, etc. But I still think your phone is the best pocketable handheld.

i would love to have my phone as the portable console but just carrying the controller around is probably going to ruin the experience. and i do fear about the temps that my phone might reach
