I really do love my Xperia Play, but I'd like something with more modern hardware in it. I've seen a bunch of small tablets with attached gamepads, and quite a few Galaxy SIII knockoffs - some of them even run Jelly Bean well, from what I've seen.

I'm just wondering if anyone's seen any sort of phone or at least 3G-capable Chinese device with something akin to the MTK6577 or better inside. I'm guessing that since I haven't already seen it there probably isn't but I haven't really been looking recently.

Eh, Chinese hardware doesn't bother me much if I know the actual specs of what I'm buying first. It's not like any big-name manufacturer has what I'm looking for, anyways.

I dont know if i would go the chinese route when looking for electronics.

Can you back that up with anything?

I've been using Chinese electronics for years (well, so have you... where do you think your phone came from, but I get what you actually mean, 'unofficial' Chinese stuff) and never had any problems - apart from what to do with all the money I've saved from not buying brand names! Yes you need to be careful and do a bit of research, but the OP already seems aware of what chipsets are available in the Chinese marked so I'm sure he knows to take a bit of care.

Unfortunately, there are no Android Chinaphones that I'm aware of at the moment that feature a gamepad.

My recommendation as an informed user on this kind of thing is getting a high end phone (Galaxy S4 or wait for the Note III) and get one of them controller connectivity kits.
There's a mount I once seen on the internet that works universally on all phones for PS3 controller that should work best quality and functionality-wise.

I know it's not very convenient to keep something as big as a DualShock3 controller in your pocket but I at least am very sure you won't regret it nor ever need to replace it.


EDIT: found it!
