Obviously you have to do some research and its AYOR

Be sure to Read the Wiki for more info and check if you have a Supported Device first.

Interesting is that besides many phones and tablets there are some rather unusual devices that are (or were) also supported. Such as the Nexus Player Set top box, various Phablets, and an nVidia Shield Portable Handheld game console (althugh it seems its not updated - but the site gives all such details , warnings.)

I have not tried it so I make no claims but it has some good recommends and solidity in support IMHO.

My present phone is not supported it but am considering getting my next one specifically for this purpose.

Facinating. And powerful it seems for developers:
