New features can make top-of-the-line phones a better choice for gamers.&nbsp; “Phones, in general, aren’t good for most types of action games due to the difficulty in user control and interaction,” Hai Ng, CEO of Spawn Point, an esports consultancy, said in an email interview. “Having a 'specially designed' gaming phone may tip the scales in the competitive landscape.” <h2> Gaming Speed with Looks to Match </h2> To keep temperatures under control while playing demanding titles, the Legion phone is cooled with a large, passive, integrated vapor chamber and a fan. The Legion comes with a semi-translucent case that reveals the internals, in a choice of Ultimate Black or Titanium White.

It’s got the same Snapdragon 888 chipset as the Lenovo and up to 16GB of RAM; it also has a screen refresh rate of 144Hz.&nbsp; Matt Weidle, of Buyer’s Guide, recently bought the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro.&nbsp; “I can say that my gaming experience has never been better,” he said in an email interview. “I can play Mobile Legends, Call Of Duty Mobile, League of Legends Wild Rift, PUBG on high resolution with no lag and no frequent charging. Charging time is only 1 hour, and I can play 4-5 hours with no downtime.” If you’re looking to buy a phone for gaming, Weidle recommends a powerful chipset such as the Snapdragon 888 in the Asus or the Legion, which will run your games smoothly even with high resolution.

A big battery is also crucial. “Mobile games can drain the battery fast, especially if you run the graphics on ultra HD,” Weidle said. “A 5000-6000 mah battery is the best for a gaming phone.” The phone’s display also should be top-notch.

“Both are probably the best takes at a game-oriented device,” he added. “They have good screens (ROG has a dual-screen option), great sound (Razer has Dolby), [and] definitely points on the cool-factor (both actual cooling as well as bragging rights).” But Ng wouldn’t use either phone as his only device.
