Tips For Buying A Smartphone For Gaming

While it seems that a high priced phone will be good at gaming, well, it is not always true to some extent. Even low priced smartphones can offer a great gaming experience. Check out our tips mentioned below before making a purchase decision for a gaming smartphone.

• GPU: Look for a device with good GPU which can offer you great visuals.
• RAM: You don’t need a smartphone with 4GB of RAM to play a game. A phone with 1.5GB or more of RAM will do equally good.
• CPU: Dual-core or Quad-core processors can give you decent fairly experience if you are not willing to buy an octa-core phone. However, a phone with an octa-core CPU does not imply that the gaming performance will be incredible.
• Display: It is up to the buyer what display or screen size he thinks is appropriate. Ideal screen size for a gaming smartphone is more than 4.5-inches. Smartphones with oleophobic coating are advised. The touch responsiveness of the device should be good enough and smooth.
• Display Resolution: Ideal screen resolution is 1080×720 pixels since smartphones with higher resolution will put more load on GPU and battery drainage will also be more.
• Battery: Make sure that the smartphone packs a battery with good capacity since gaming drains battery much faster.
• Storage: Make sure that the device comes with enough internal storage which saves all your games without struggling.
• Software: While software does not impact gaming much, you need to remember that with Android OS you will be able to download games from Google Play store and on iOS you will have App store for the same.
