Not only does this have one of the biggest, brightest and highest res displays on the market – it’s all backed up by the latest Snapdragon and Exynos CPUs on the market today. You’ll have an advantage over the competition in games like Fortnite, as you’ll be able to see more clearly, and with more frames per second.

You can pick up a Note 9 in most physical or online gadget outlets.

The Snapdragon 845, Adreno 630 graphics, and 4GB of RAM (6GB in the S9 Plus) make both of these phones incredible performers both in game and out. And, since the market of other Android phones boasting the new Snapdragon 845 hasn’t caught up, Samsung easily snags this seat.But, a powerful chipset isn’t all that earns the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus its ranking. The S9 has a plenty large and plenty sharp 1440 X 2960, 5.8-inch display, and the S9 Plus has an even larger 6.2-inch display with the same resolution. Both are Super AMOLED and support HDR10 for stunning visuals.The new Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus also feature Samsung’s Game Tools, which can help with taking screenshots, recording gameplay, and keeping notifications out of the way. Let’s not forget that Samsung also has the impressive Gear VR headsets that offer super sharp virtual reality experiences with the Galaxy S9’s and S9 Plus’s pixel-dense displays.http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4fFUoVkUsj7tHHgw4zdgC3.jpgGoogle’s biggest and best smartphone, the Pixel 3 XL, also has what it takes to be a great gaming smartphone. It’s 6.3-inch pOLED panel offers plenty of real estate for gaming without having your thumbs cover everything up. That display resolution is 2960 x 1440 pixels, so the visuals will be crisp with excellent contrast. Like many of the other phones on this list, the Pixel 3 XL is running a Snapdragon 845 chipset, which delivers smooth gaming performance with most gaming titles. Of course, the Pixel 3 XL is also capable of delivering VR content with the Daydream View headset. An added bonus is that the large 3,430mAh battery will make it easy to game on the go.Read our full review: Google Pixel 3 XL reviewiOS 12 is ready to up Apple's mobile gameThe best iPhone games 2019The best Android games 2019http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/3-DJs0YJtv4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
