Choosing an iPhone can be overwhelming there are so many options, and it runs on the same processor as the Pro and Pro Max, so you shouldn’t notice any difference in performance. If you need a big screen and/or a more advanced camera, consider the more expensive models.

7. SAMSUNG GALAXY

The Nubia Red magic 6S Pro is the most impressive all-around gaming phone we’ve reviewed to date. It’s certainly the most powerful, thanks to its timely use of the Snapdragon 888+ chip, and its 165Hz display provides the most fluid refresh rates yet.

9. iQOO

iQOO Z5 is a very potent smartphone in all regards, especially for its price tag of just under Rs 25,000. It delivers a well-rounded performance with a very good display and smooth, lag-free operation. Despite being touted as gaming phones, iQOO lacks some over-the-top frills that you see on phones like the Asus ROG Phone

10. Poco

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT GAMING PHONE?

You could argue that almost every smartphone is a gaming phone of some kind, but what if you want the smoothest performance? Maybe you need physical-style buttons or a display with a high refresh rate? Either way, that’s where gaming phones come in, and there are loads of devices that fit the bill. So, There’s the one really big question you have to ask yourself when buying a gaming phone, and that is do you want a gaming phone with a gaming aesthetic and extra features or just a quality mobile that has buckets of power to play games?

Because, the vast majority of phones are perfectly capable of playing almost all mobile games with ease, and certainly any mid-tier or flagship phones. It’s hard to find any games in the iPhone App Store or Google Play that can’t run well by most phones made today, as that is very much where these game makers make their money. They want the most people to be able to play their games, so you tend to find very few titles that have any sort of elite demands in terms of power.

As such, unless you specifically want the gamer aesthetic and features like built-in triggers and advanced cooling systems, you’re almost certainly best picking up a handset like the Apple iPhone 12 or OnePlus 9 – rapid, powerful handsets that play games well but also are just great all-round phones.

Though it’s a win-win for gamers looking to buy one of the best gaming phones, as basically whatever they purchase will be able to crush the games that they want to play. It’s just down to how much extra spend the gamer is prepared to drop for fancy gamer-focused features.


Best gaming smartphones in India for 2022 starts with the pricing of 39,999 – 1,40,000.
