Not sure why you specified "previous" phone. I don't tend to carry that around at all. The battery lasts a few hours if the screen stays off, said screen is cracked and it runs nothing "fine". Everything haha and glitches around. It remains useful as a cat TV mainly.
Assuming that's some kinda typo, the current one runs it much better, but getting the correct card when my hand is full is very unreliable, and the UI is cramped to hell since it is a smaller screen but can't be scaled down as much due to readability. It does come in handy when the deck is at home though.
I've specified that because I've mainly played it on a 2013 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (yes, wit a stylus), a FullHD beast that Steam Deck can't even dream of matching even a decade later.
