iirc android 7 allows you to use a microsd card as extra storage and you get to move your files and software in there. that should be a must if you end up wanting to use it
shattered pixel dungeon supports android 4 and up, and is a great game for passing time. really fucking good and should be low spec, it's just a pixel game in java maybe an emulator would work. most likely an nes emulator and if you are lucky, some snes or gba. would be cool honestly. try out lemuroid!
