Mobile gaming – which phones are best for the occasional gaming session?

Mobile gaming is now the most popular form of gaming, which is unsurprising given that the number of smartphone owners in the UK is estimated to be 64.9 million by the end of 2025. Whether you are looking for a device to play games on your commute or something to use whilst unwinding in front of the TV these are the best phones you can choose from when it comes to occasional mobile gaming. 

There are a few features that make mobiles particularly good for gaming; CPU, RAM, battery life and screen resolution. These devices excel in all these categories which is why we think they are the best choices for customers looking for a device that is perfect for the occasional gaming session. 

If you are an Apple lover the best choice is the iPhone 12. With 4GB of RAM and the Apple A14 Bionic CPU there isn’t a game on the App Store that this device won’t run. Externally, the phone is a high-quality piece of technology that looks stunning. The screen is unbeatable in comparison to other devices and makes the user experience really enjoyable. Plus the smooth operating system of IOS makes it easy for users to navigate through. When you shop with The iOutlet you can save on your new device by choosing a refurbished iPhone for less than you thought.

If you are looking for something a little bit extra we would highly recommend upgrading to the iPhone 12 Pro Max which has a slightly bigger screen and better battery life which could allow for a better gaming experience. As well as some upgraded features there are also different colour options available – silver, graphite, gold and pacific blue. 

Looking for an alternative to an iPhone? The Samsung S20 is a great option for users who prefer an Android device. Depending on which model you choose, the standard S20 model comes with Exynos 990 whilst the S20 5G with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, both are capable of running a plethora of games that turn a 15-minute commute into an immense gaming experience.
