Mobile gaming used to mean Game Boy, PSP,PPSSPP Nintendo DS — another device to carry around that usually couldn't replicate the experience of a home console. Well, those days are over. High-quality, powerful games are now available on the phone you already have in your pocket. Whether you have an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, or OnePlus phone, you probably have a gaming machine on hand. And also most of our device are really compactable with high graphics games. For Gamers i'll be showing you top smartphone that you can enjoy great gaming experience on all day long.


What is the best phone for gaming?
We decided to offer a selection of what we think are the best phones for gamers. We took into account factors like screen size and resolution, along with battery life and even if it had extra features specifically for gaming.


1. Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus

The latest flagship phones from Samsung may also be devices on our best phone for gaming list that you can currently buy, if you have the money. The Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus both feature large screens (5.8-inch for the S8, 6.2-inches for the S8 Plus) and both of those display have high resolutions (2,960 x 1,440). It doesn’t hurt that both have lots of RAM and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor (or Samsung’s Exynos 8895 chip, depending where you live). The battery life is about average for these kind of phones, but it’s not horrible, and they also include some helpful power saving features.
If you are into VR gaming, you can also purchase the 2017 edition of the Samsung Gear VR, which will help extend your experience into virtual reality. A software update is also reportedly coming soon that will add support for Google’s Daydream View VR headset as well. Finally, the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus also have new versions of Samsung’s Game Tools. When enabled, they allow the hardcore gamer to play games in Full Screen mode, which fills the entire edge-to-edge display, instead of seeing them in letterboxed mode.
Other Game Tools features lets players quickly take screenshots or record gameplay with little issues, along with a way to temporarily disable the phones’ digital home button and cuts off any notifications from showing up on your screen in the middle of gameplay. All that hardware does make the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus fairly pricey, but if money is no object, then these are the phones to get for the best mobile gaming experience.

The OnePlus 5T was just released a few months ago and an excellent pick for our best phone for gaming list, especially for gamers who want a lot of power and battery life for not a lot of money. The big 6-inch display has a 1,080 x 2,160 resolution. While that’s not as big or as detailed as the display on the Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus, it should be plenty for most gamers. More importantly, the phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, which should handle even the most graphically rich games for Android. You can also get a version of the phone with a whopping up to 8 GB of RAM. The battery life is also better than the Galaxy S8, and can last up to a full day on a single charge.

While the OnePlus 5T doesn’t have as many gaming specific features as the Galaxy S8 phones, it does have a Gaming DnD (Do Not Disturb) mode which, when enabled, cuts off notifications from popping up while you play. Finally, the starting price for the OnePlus 5T, at $499 for the 6 GB version, makes this phone much cheaper than its main competition and easily one of the best phones for gaming on the market.

SPECS FOR ONEPLUS 5T
6-inch Optic AMOLED display with 1,080 x 2,160 resolution, 401 ppi
Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 mobile platform
6/8 GB of RAM

Dual 16 and 20 MP rear cameras, 16 MP front camera
Non-removable 3,300 mAh battery

3. SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8

After a controversial 2016, Samsung’s Galaxy Note line is back in full force. With top-of-the-line specs, a stunning design, an all-new dual-camera setup, and new software features, the Galaxy Note 8 is the best Android phone you can buy right now, and definitely on our best phone for gaming list.
As with earlier Samsung phones, the Note 8 includes Game Tools which lets users play games in Full Screen mode, which fills the entire edge-to-edge display, instead of seeing them in letterboxed mode. You can also still quickly take screenshots or record gameplay on the phone along with a way to temporarily disable the phones’ digital home button and cuts off any notifications from showing up on your screen in the middle of gameplay. It’s definitely pricey, but it may be worth it for your gaming needs.
The Note 8’s near-bezel-less 6.3-inch QuadHD+ Infinity Display with an 18.5:9 aspect ratio is one of our favorite parts about this phone. It’s big, maybe too big for some people, but at least the company puts that screen to good use. The Note 8 might be the best phone for gaming for you. Check out our full review below!

Razer, who have already been highly successful with their wide ranging of gaming PC and console hardware and accessories, decided they wanted to make a gaming and entertainment oriented smartphone. The result is the recently launched handset that’s simply called the Razer Phone. The fact that it packs in 8GB of RAM shows you they want to make gaming on a phone smoother and better than on a normal device.
Besides 8 GB, the Razer Phone includes a big 5.7-inch display with a 120 Gh refresh rate. That feature can be combined with the phone’s other major feature, Ultra Motion, which syncs up its GPU with the high refresh rate, which allows games made for the phone to have silky smooth framerates with little to no lag or graphics tearing.
Besides the display features, the Razer Phone also has a big 4,000 mAh battery, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, loud twin front speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and more to make it perhaps the best phone ever made specifically for gaming. You can purchase it now from Razer for $699.
Specs For Razer Phone
5.7-inch-inch LED display with 1,440 x 2,560 resolution
Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor
8 GB of RAM
64 GB of on-board storage, MicroSD slot available
Dual 12 MP rear cameras, 8 MP frontcamera
Non-removable 4,000 mAh battery
Android 7.1.1 Nougat
158.5 x 77.7 x 8 mm, 197 g


5. MOTOROLA MOTO Z PLAY/MOTO Z2 PLAY
[img]https://4.bp..com/-CCMQtMWsIZ0/Wq63phfTW0I/AAAAAAAAMy4/Is8_zfq0DEMUQz9kvZ7W_q0UmN39APn7QCLcBGAs/s1600/Moto-Z2-Play-Review-15-712x400.jpg[/img]

The Motorola Moto Z Play (known as the Moto Z Play Droid if you get it at Verizon) may be a year old, and this mid-range device may not have the hardware specs of other smartphones that we have discussed in this article. However, the phone still has one very impressive feature that’s vital to mobile gamers: awesome battery life. In regular use, the 3,510 mAh battery on the phone allows it to offer users up to two days of battery life on a single charge with regular use. While that will drop in heavy gaming, it’s still going to give mobile gamers a lot of time to play any title they want. In fact, the battery is much larger in the Moto Z Play than in the recently released Moto Z2 Play, which just has a 3,000 mAh battery.

There’s also one more factor in the Moto Z Play’s favor in the best phone for gaming category. It can use any current and upcoming Moto Mods, the snap-on accessories that Motorola first introduced in 2016. That includes the upcoming Moto Mod GamePad, which will place a control sticks on either side of the phone. It will also add a D-pad and four tactile action buttons, and it will have its own 1,035 mAh battery that is supposed to offer even more gaming time for any Moto Z phone. It’s due out later this summer for $79.99.
Specs For Moto Z Play

5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 403 ppi
Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor
3 GB of RAM
32 GB of on-board storage, microSD expansion up to 256 GB
16 MP rear camera, 5 MP front camera
Non-removable 3,510 mAh battery
Android 7.0 Nougat
156.4 x 76.4 x 7 mm, 165 g

Specs For Moto Z2 Play

CONCLUSION
For the best Android gaming experience, look no further than the Galaxy S8. It's got all the top-end specs you need to any game in the Google Play Store at the highest settings, and that's not going to change anytime soon. If battery life is your biggest concern, the Moto Z Play is your best bet, especially with an optional Moto Mod to expand that battery life further.

So whats your say about this list, do the phones worth it??
