Gaming Phones
From Nokia's popular game Snake to Pokémon GO over to PUBG Mobile, mobile gaming has changed a lot and the mobile devices can even compete with portable consoles like Nintendo Switch. With a gamer's mobile phone, you'll be able to spend time on the train, at work or at home with the latest 3D games.
The latest smartphone games require powerful phones. That's why gaming phones are equipped with high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon or HiSilicon Kirin processors and 6GB, 8GB or even 12GB of RAM. A must-have is a game mode to tickle out even more performance when playing online games with friends for hours and to not get disturbed by calls, messages or any other notification on your Android gaming device. At the same time, a common problem of warming up or even overheating is addressed with sophisticated air or water-cooled systems on board the gaming smartphones.
Not only well-known dedicated gaming phones such as the Razer Phone are best suited, but also devices with top specifications from China. These include models of the Xiaomi Blackshark series, the Huawei Honor Play, Vivo IQOO, Nubia Red Magic series and Asus ROG Phone. In addition to that, most of the current flagship phones from OnePlus, Xiaomi, Huawei, Meizu, Oppo or Lenovo are perfectly capable of handling and performing well when it comes to mobile gaming.
Other factors that also influence the buying decision of a gaming phone are handling and control of a game on the smartphone. For this there are gamepads and Bluetooth controllers directly from the manufacturers for an even better game handling.
