Conclusion:
Last but not the least, choosing the right gaming phone is a matter of priorities. If you’re after the best performance, you’ll want a phone with a high-end processor. Focus on the Snapdragon, as Qualcomm’s best silicon for Android phones is available in devices from a number of manufacturers.
And not forgetting the high refresh rates, yes that matters too. But again, you’ll have to look on the other side of the market – the expensive end. Reports from Tom’s Guide states that panels rated at 90Hz and above offer smooth scrolling and good graphic rendition, giving your fingers the feel as if every swipe or tap is eliciting a response with no delay.
Further reports state that the more a device is geared towards gaming with the appropriate features, the more phone makers cross out other considerations. But of course, they still include a good phone battery (because games consume a lot of power).
And if you’re a serious competitive gamer, you will have a tough time finding gaming phones with great camera hardware and software, or conveniences like wireless charging and water resistance, and not to forget, higher refresh rates that will ensure you don’t miss any of the action. However, there’s always an option to be a little more generous and go for a device that exceeds your budget.
