Given the memory optimization mentioned in the text, it looks a bit like there will be a 8GB ram version of the Steam Frame. Makes sense really, as it will make it significantly cheaper and for people mostly using it to stream from their main PC it shouldn't matter much.

Fex is the translation layer that is planned to be used in the new Steam Frame VR headset. And it looks like this emulation layer is making good progress and lots of performance improvements.

Yep! Using it now on my Android phone via GameNative (which is GPLv3 licensed so you know it's good 👌🏻).

They don't have an F-Droid release yet but you can install via Obtainium or downloading it directly. Their github URL is: https://github.com/utkarshdalal/GameNative
