[Gadgets] Best Gaming Phone: The Best Smartphones for Gaming in India

[-𝓣𝓐𝓚𝓘]

A few years ago, if someone had come up to me to recommend a good gaming smartphone, my answer would typically have been an Android flagship or the latest iPhone. However, looking at the power of today's mainstream SoCs, you don't have to spend too much if you're looking for a good gaming experience. While nearly every phone above Rs. 15,000 today can handle the majority of the games in the Google Play Store, there are some of them that are designed to take your gaming experience to the next level.

Just like gaming PCs and laptops, dedicated gaming smartphones tend to stand out from the crowd. Many of them tend to have snazzy designs, LED lights around the back panel and extra buttons along the side for better control. These phones generally have enhanced cooling mechanisms to keep the temperatures in check for those long gaming sessions.

We've seen high-end gaming phones from the likes of Black Shark, Nubia, Asus, but today many of those companies are not very active in the Indian market. Asus is still going strong with its ROG line of gaming smartphones and others such as iQoo and Poco have also joined the gang. This list consists of smartphones that are specifically designed to cope with the increased heat and stress the SoC has to endure when playing graphically demanding games for long stretches of time. If you take your gaming very seriously, you might want to pay attention to these particular phones on the list.

Best gaming smartphones in India

Poco F3 GT8Rs. 26,999

Poco F3 GT

The Poco F3 GT is the company's first true gaming smartphone, complete with RGB lights and physical trigger buttons on the side. This new model is aggressively priced and doesn't skimp on features. To handle any sort of game, you get MediaTek's flagship Dimensity 1200 SoC which is a powerhouse. The F3 GT also has a 120Hz AMOLED display, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and an eight-layer cooling system which includes a vapour chamber.

The main attractions though are the “maglev” triggers, which normally sit flush with the body, but rise up when you flip the sliders beside them. These trigger buttons offer excellent tactile feedback and are much more responsive than the haptic buttons we've seen on some other gaming phones. The Poco F3 GT stays cool even under stress, battery life is solid, and Poco ships a convenient L-shaped charging cable in the box so you can play and charge without any obstruction.
