Top 7 Gaming Smartphone in 2021

A THREAD

Gaming on phones has been a thing ever since we all first booted up our Nokia 3310s for hours on Snake Xenzia, before our iPhones became clogged with hours of Candy Crush Saga.

But increasingly smartphones are becoming viable gaming devices.

While the latest Apple and Samsung phones are capable of running the most demanding mobile games, the market is so popular that there are also dedicated gaming phones.

Here is a list of top gaming phones you should consider getting in 2021

7. Samsung Galaxy S20+

There's no denying that the Samsung Galaxy S20+ is both an exceptional flagship and one of the most well-rounded phones on the market right now, and that makes it a great gaming phone too.

You get a larger 6.7in display and WQHD+ resolution ...

HDR10+ visuals and most exciting of all, the new 120Hz refresh rate. Performance is also top-notch meaning it's great for enjoying media and gaming, there's 5G onboard and 25W fast charging means you can refill the phone's 4500mAh battery in little over an hour.

6. Xiaomi Black Shark 3

The Black Shark 3 hardly reinvents the wheel when it comes to gaming phones, but there are some useful upgrades here.

Of course, a Snapdragon 865 processor and 8 or 12GB of RAM means performance is truly excellent, .....

while some thoughtful touches in Shark Space should make it a hit with gamers. Other highlights include some significant camera improvements and staggeringly fast charging speeds.

The main frustration is the accessories, with a bulky fan and expensive gaming pad adding little to my experience. The magnetic charging cable is a great idea, though.

5. Vivo Iqoo 3 5G

The Vivo Iqoo 3 is India's first 5G gaming phone and boasts of impressive speed, performance, and excellent battery life. What makes it even more attractive is its price.

Though it's not available directly in the UK, you can pick it up for around £600 or less from retailers like Banggood or eBay, and non-5G options cost even less.

In terms of gaming specs, the phone comes with dedicated pressure-sensitive gaming buttons along the side and an ...

ultra Gaming Mode that lets you customize a seamless gaming experience. You can activate 4D game vibration, customize air triggers, or block calls while gaming – the list goes on. It's powered with a top-tier Snapdragon 865 making it a worthy competitor against the Asus ROG 2.

4. iPhone 12 Pro Max

When it comes to gaming on iOS, the 6.7in iPhone 12 Pro Max is the one to beat. Apple’s 5nm A14 Bionic is one of the most powerful chipsets on the market right now and can handle just about anything you can throw at it ...

without a hint of stutter or lag – and our benchmarks back that up too.

Importantly, the iPhone 12 Pro a gorgeous Super Retina XDR display that makes games look incredible on the iPhone, whether they're free-to-play titles or the latest Apple Arcade exclusives.

There's also up to a whopping 512GB of storage available, so you can carry an entire library of mobile games in your pocket. There's also up to a whopping 512GB of storage available, so you can carry an entire library of mobile games in your pocket.

3. Red Magic 5S

Red Magic 5S is an excellent gaming phone. 320Hz shoulder triggers, UFS 3.1, and 144Hz refresh rate display truly is breathtaking, and combined with a Snapdragon 865 processor and up to 12GB of RAM performance across the board is superb.

Battery life is impressive and the built-in fan works wonders for gaming. You won't be disappointed if you pick up the 5S.

2. OnePlus 8 Pro

The OnePlus 8 Pro is arguably the company's first full flagship, finally incorporating long-requested features like wireless charging and an IP68 waterproof rating, while upgrading the display to a blistering 120Hz - ideal for gaming.

With a Snapdragon 865 processor and your choice of 8GB or 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM, together with either 128GB or 256GB storage, this is a mighty powerful phone no matter how you slice it.

1. Asus ROG Phone 2

The Asus ROG Phone 2 is the best gaming phone we know so far. Okay, it doesn't have mass appeal but that's not the aim here.

Gaming is the priority here and Asus has taken the already decent original and made it even better.

This second-gen device gets a 120Hz screen, a huge 6000mAh battery, improved performance, and more. All of this at a price cheaper than big-name flagships.

On paper, the ROG Phone 2 has a credible claim to being the fastest and most powerful smartphone in existence.

That’s basically because, in addition to a monstrous 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage in the main model, it’s the first phone to launch packing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855+ processor
