Undoubtedly, as the look of the smartphone evolved throughout the years so have its functions. It’s gone a long way from the original purpose of texting and calling other smartphones. Now, all smartphones have built-in calculators, cameras, and (our personal favorite) mobile games.
Mobile gaming has changed the entire tech landscape because of its demand and innovation. Not only are they entertaining but they push the boundaries of the capabilities of smartphones. That being said, there are smartphones that perform better than others when it comes to gaming. Luckily, we’re here to help you find the best ones suited for you.
Best 4 Smartphones for Gaming
iPhone 7
This one’s a sure pick because every iPhone model that Apple comes out with is equipped with the best components available. From its processor to its screen, you can bet Apple will make sure the latest iPhone is built with top-notch parts. Of course, this comes at a price (literally). It’s expensive but you can be sure you’re purchasing a quality device and product that can play any type of mobile game you’ll find on the App Store.
Another trade-off is that there might be some games that you won’t be able to play not because the iPhone can’t handle it but because some games are Android exclusive.
Samsung Galaxy S8
Moving on to Android, consider the Galaxy S8 the iPhone 7’s counterpart. There’s no need to get into the specifics of what makes Android a great gaming smartphone because rest assured, it’s made of the best components available on the market. Similar to the iPhone 7, it will be able to handle any game you throw at it as long as it’s from the Play Store.
Moto Z Play
One thing the iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S8 have in common is that they’re extremely expensive. If budget isn’t an issue for you and you’re looking for a top-tier gaming smartphone, then the 2 choices above will do an awesome job. However, if you are on a budget then the Moto Z Play is what you’re looking for.
It’s a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the S8 and iPhone 7 so that’s a big plus but it can still play the latest games. You may experience some lag when playing games that have incredible graphics (yes, we’re looking at you Asphalt 8) but other than that, it’s a beast of a smartphone.
HTC 10
Another alternative to the iPhone 7 and S8 is the HTC 10. Its upgraded screen resolution makes it perfect for playing games and the sound is close to perfect. Impressively, the HTC 10 has the lowest touch latency found on any smartphone available on the market and this is a great selling point for gamers. This makes sure that your gaming experience is lag-free because let’s face it – lag is a gamers worst enemy.
Take Your Pick
We gave you 4 choices on what we think are the best gaming smartphones available right now on the market. As we said, if budget isn’t an issue then you’re best purchasing an S8 or an iPhone 7 (depending on your OS preference) but if budget is an issue you’re good to go with the Moto Z Play and HTC 10. Pick which one best suits your needs and situation but one thing’s for sure – any of these devices will satisfy your gaming needs.
