Mobile gaming has become a big business, with thousands of people accessing the Internet using a mobile device. This has led to some mobile phone manufacturers designing handsets explicitly for gaming. While all modern smartphones will give you access to games, if you are a serious gamer, you may wish to take advantage of one of these top phones to guarantee the best performance every time you play.
1. Xiaomi Black Shark 3
One of the first companies to join the mobile gaming market was Xiaomi, and currently, they have several handsets available, including the Black Shark 3. Looks-wise it is pretty different from most mobile phones and has been designed with gaming in mind. There is a Snapdragon 865 processor in terms of technology, which is just one down from the best on the market currently. It runs on Android 10 and has the capability for you to run software updates as and when they become available. The substantial 4720mAh battery gives you all the power needed to ensure smooth performance with no lag. If you do need to charge, this can be done without interrupting your gaming because there is a charging point on the back, right in the middle, neatly out of the way of any hand controls. As a general-use mobile phone, it also offers outstanding camera performance, and you can get memory storage of up to 512GB with a maximum RAM of 12GB.
2. Razer Phone 2
Razer is another big name in gaming mobiles, and the Razer Phone 2 is an excellent example that runs on the Snapdragon 845 processor and uses Android 8.1. The screen is a nice 5.7-inch size which is suitable for playing mobile games, and the resolution is 1440 by 2560 pixels, and it has an impressive 120HZ refresh rate which guarantees a charming display. There is a good size 8 GB RAM, which gives plenty of internal power, so even the most intensive games will still run really well. It is a nice-looking handset with very straight angles, and the company has added other minor features that make it a great general use phone when you're not gaming. There is a dual-lens rear camera which are both 12 megapixels, and it has an IP67 water rating which is perfect if you are out and about. There are plenty of really good contract deals to be had. Still, it's actually quite an affordable handset off-contract starting at around £400, so if you really enjoy mobile gaming, this is undoubtedly a handset to consider.
3. Asus ROG Phone 3
Anyone who has spent a lot of time gaming will know that Asus ROG laptops are some of the best on the market. So, when they decided to scale down their technology so it would fit into a mobile phone, the excitement was palpable. ROG stands for Republic of Gamers, so you can be entirely reassured that this handset has gaming at the heart of everything it offers. It uses the most sophisticated Snapdragon 865 plus processor we have on the market currently, and it also runs Android 10. ROG also has its own UI, which is layered over the top of the operating system. This is one of the biggest handsets available for gaming and has a really lovely 6.59-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 by 2340 pixels and a stunning 144HZ refresh rate. When you combine that with the massive 600mAh battery, you can be assured that even the most labor-intensive games are going to run at impressive speed, not generate any lag and look really good in detail too.
4. iPhone 12
Although Apple has never explicitly designed a gaming handset, they have worked hard to appeal to all sectors of the marketplace and paid attention to the fact that there is a very large mobile gaming market. Over the last few incarnations of their handset, there have been some dramatic changes that mean gaming has become a lot more pleasant when using one of their devices. The iPhone 12 is the latest release on offer and has some really impressive features, as well as a choice of three handsets. The iPhone 12 is the basic spec but still provides a really great gaming experience; the iPhone 12 pro comes with even more, which is closely matched by the iPhone 12 pro Max, but you have an even bigger screen to choose from this time. They have all of their own proprietary software and hardware; the iPhone 12 handsets have the Apple A14 Bionic chipset and come running iOS 14.1, which can be upgraded due to software updates.
5. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G
Apple's biggest rival in the mobile phone market, and the other flagship manufacturer is Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G was released this year and is another impressive offering that features the Snapdragon 888 5G chipset and runs on Android 11. This combination certainly makes it powerful enough for mobile gaming, and with a large 6.8-inch screen with 1440 x 3200 pixels resolution, you can be sure of some impressive graphics display. Samsung also favours the Mali graphics cards, which is undoubtedly one of the reasons why it is so remarkable. Of course, because this is Samsung, you also get some of the most impressive camera technology on the market, and the battery is 5000mAh, which guarantees a long performance.
