Getting an iOS or Android phone is a decision that should generally be based on more considerations than suitability for ScummVM.

That being said, for ScummVM, the Note 2 is probably the better choice. It has a larger screen and comes with a stylus (nice to have for those hard-to-click tiny items in some older games). And you don't have to jailbreak your device in order to actually install ScummVM.

You're right that getting a phone couldn't be based only on in which device scumm vm would be better, but would have been only a curiosity! anyway, thank you very much for your answer.

You can not use ScummVM on current apple phones and tablets. Also if you want to use ScummVM on older models, you need to find one that is not updated to latest ios. The latest ios that can be jailbroken is 6.1.2 as far as I know. If you can find one with an older version, you won't be able to update it to 6.1.2 either.
