Default Top Hat or XC Soar and new Samsung Galaxy Devices

Years back when I was looking for a device, I went to Best Buy and asked
if I could take one of their devices out to the parking lot to see it
perform in the sun.Â* You might find a store that will let you do that,
escorted or otherwise.Â* Good luck!

Hello, Does anyone have experience running XC Soar or Tophat Soaring on the newer Samsung Devices?
The note 10 and S10 are reported to have brightness levels over 1000 nits. I’m guessing the previous 8 and 9 generations may also be pretty close for a lot less$
Cannot find much information out there on running tophat and XCSoar on newer hardware, which appears to have progressed quite a bit recently in display technology.
Also wondering if there are any issues running Tophat or XC on the newer android platforms? Since these open source programs are updated at a slow pace.
Thanks! Jason
