According to Neowin , the popular Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu has expanded support to a new platform. After years of operating on Windows and Linux, Yuzu has now officially landed on Android.
However, there are some notable hardware requirements for this release. Currently, Yuzu only supports devices running on Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets with Adreno GPUs. Additionally, it is recommended that users install Yuzu on devices with a large amount of RAM (8GB or more). For example, Tears of the Kingdom currently requires 12GB of RAM to run on Android devices.

Currently, the Android version of Yuzu is still missing some features such as LAN/LDN multiplayer, input configuration, and TAS scripting. The development team said that their current focus is on improving compatibility and performance, in addition to solving the emulation challenges presented by Android hardware.
The developers found that the Adreno 600 GPU running the Mesa Turnip driver showed the best compatibility for the game, although not the best performance.

Yuzu gained attention in January 2018, less than a year after the Nintendo Switch was released. The developers behind the open-source project also developed the Nintendo 3DS emulator Citra.
Yuzu is currently available through the Google Play Store in both free and paid ($4.99) versions. The GitHub page containing standalone downloads of the Android version is not yet live, but the developer plans to release it to the public soon.
