Top 5 Android Phones For Online Gaming

Ah, the old days of video games, when teenagers and adults alike would flock to the video arcade to play side-scrolling cabinet games. Then, when home consoles were introduced you used to have to switch the TV to channel 3 and plug in a cartridge! Then came the era of playing on a PC, and then a laptop, and now many people play online games on their phones.

When you are shopping for a new android phone, you might want to think about how well it will perform for online gaming, in regards to the various platforms and genres of online gaming. A phone with a slow operating system will lag, meaning that you miss out on the action – and lose the game (or your money). 

Here are the Top 5 Android Phones for Online Gaming.

5. OnePlus 7 Pro

If you are looking for a fast and reliable gaming phone that also has an affordable price tag, look no further than the OnePlus 7 Pro. Released in May of 2019, this phone is currently wowing gamers for its value, as it costs less than a Samsung with comparable stats.

Using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 chipset, and up to 12GB of RAM, your games will run smoothly and load up fast. The QHD display offers stellar pixel density, meaning that you see what the designers envisioned. That’s not to mention that it has a huge display – 6.67 inches without any interruption from a camera.

4. Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus/S10

While the Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus are both excellent ‘all around’ phones, they don’t skimp on excellence when it comes to gaming. This was the first phone to utilize Qualcomm’s awesome Snapdragon 855 chipset, meaning that it quickly earned a rep for being a gaming phone with peak performance.

In addition to the chipset, the Samsung Galaxy S10 also boasts Super AMOLED displays, so you can watch movies, play online games, and roll the slots without any interference.

3. Asus ROG Phone

The Asus ROG phone is a surprise contender for one of the best Android phones for online gaming, as it features some seriously wild gaming accessories. Sure, it looks bulky and blocky, and it’s not great for the non-gamers out there, but its features will bring a smile to any gamer’s face. 

It boasts an ‘overclocked’ Snapdragon 845 chipset, and has a decent 90hz refresh rate. There are “AirTrigger” touch-sensitive buttons located at the top-right and top-left of your phone when you flip it into landscape orientation, giving it a controller feel. Asus is all about their ‘Republic of Gamers’ branding, and so you can also buy a clamshell case with an additional screen, controller mods, and a docking platform that makes your phone feel like a Nintendo Switch!

2. The Razer Phone 2

While the original Razer Phone was designed to bring a gaming-specific brand to the world of mobile devices, it had some flaws and shortcomings. However, the Razer Phone 2 has addressed these issues, and this is now a phone for truly serious gamers out there. It comes with the Snapdragon 845 chipset, loads of battery saving settings, and has a new vapor chamber that works to cool your phone as you game.
