How to Run PS3 Through Android

If you don̵7;t have a compatible remote control and don̵7;t wish to use the game controller to control your PS3 console, use your Bluetooth-equipped Android phone or tablet instead. On compatible, rooted Android devices, you can install BlueputDroid, which allows you to pair your device with a PS3. The device̵7;s touchscreen display can be used as an emulated mouse and the on-screen keypad can be used with the PS3 Web browser or to type out chat messages while in-game.
