Gaming phones represent a new trend, contributing to the honor of the smartphone industry
1. The Top Gaming Smartphones of 2018
Gaming smartphones have emerged as a new trend, contributing to the honor of the smartphone industry.
In fact, smartphones solely focused on gaming have become popular for a while but have slowed down in recent years. They require not only powerful performance but also good graphics and vibrant displays. Below is a list of the best gaming smartphones available on the market.
1. iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus
(Price ranging from 20.99 - 29.99 million VND)
Apple's A11 Bionic chip inside the latest iPhone series is one of the most powerful chips on the market, fully capable of handling heavy games. With any game, you'll experience smooth gameplay at almost 60fps, providing an enjoyable experience.
Below are some reasons why you should choose an iPhone for mobile gaming.
1. Superior hardware
What makes the A11 Bionic chip so suitable for gaming? Firstly, it's the 10nm custom GPU using the old PowerVR architecture, which enables the latest iPhone to achieve speeds of nearly 60fps (frames per second) in deep graphics tasks. The fact that Apple controls both the hardware and software allows the chip inside to be perfectly optimized to deliver the best graphics performance when needed.
No one has been able to surpass the performance of the iPhone X yet.
Performance benchmarking is the most rational explanation. Clearly, all premium smartphones from last year are not Apple's 'rivals.' This year, the 2018 iPhone generation will undoubtedly have even higher performance.
2. Exceptional Software
Despite Android's overwhelming number of games, iOS still holds much higher exclusivity and often features newer, hotter apps and games. There are plenty of excellent and very interesting games exclusive to iOS that are not yet available on Android.
Despite the majority of mobile games being available on both iOS and Android, you only need to spend a small amount of money to get new games on the Apple platform faster. The most important thing to note is that developers still support the iOS ecosystem more than Google's operating system.
2. OnePlus 6
(Imported Price: from 12 million VND)
The latest flagship smartphone from OnePlus is a contender for the current Android gaming phone.
1. Outstanding Hardware
Despite all featuring the Snapdragon 845 processor found in most current Android flagships, the OnePlus 6 performs slightly better than its competitive 'rivals' due to some optimizations.
2. Excellent Pricing
Of course, premium hardware is not unique to the OnePlus 6 as many other devices are powered by the same chip and have equivalent performance. What truly makes the OnePlus 6 stand out is its affordable price. While devices like the Galaxy S9/ Galaxy S9+, LG G7 ThinQ, and others boast a range of great additional features, users also cannot overlook the OnePlus 6 with comparable or even better performance at a much more affordable price.
3. Asus ROG
When it comes to gaming smartphones, Asus ROG phones are definitely worth mentioning. Developed in their own unique style, these devices are specially designed to execute commands as quickly and efficiently as possible without emitting too much heat. Below are some reasons why you should consider the Asus ROG phone for mobile gaming.
1. Powerful Hardware
The Snapdragon 845 processor with speeds up to 2.96GHz along with the Adreno 630 graphics chip and the device's cooling system can handle any downloaded game well. Moreover, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of ROM, the phone can store all your favorite games.
2. Outstanding Display
Additionally, the Asus ROG Phone features an AMOLED display with HDR support, with a refresh rate of up to 90Hz and an extremely fast response time of just 1ms. Both of these are quite important for gamers as you'll experience high frame rates and minimal latency.
4. Razer Phone
(Reference Price: around 16 million VND)
This is one of the most iconic gaming smartphones available today. Unfortunately, it's not the best gaming smartphone out there. However, if you're a Razer fan or want to experience a high refresh rate screen, consider the Razer Phone. The device is powered by an older Snapdragon 835 chip but still has some attractive features.
1. Exceptional Display
The 120Hz refresh rate display of the Razer Phone is the most exciting feature on the device as this feature is hard to find on any other phone. Although most Android games are not optimized to run at high refresh rates, you'll undoubtedly have a more authentic experience when playing on the Razer Phone.
2. HDR Support and Dolby Atmos Sound
At the time of its release, the Razer Phone was the first device to support both HDR10 and Dolby Atmos speakers, making it a great companion for true gamers.
