It’s about time to get another phone, Yea Forums.
Are there any advantages to getting a “gaming phone”? Should I get pic related (Poco F4 GT) or just get a regular phone?

I really don’t know a lot about gaming phones, aren’t mobile games usually aimed at running on as many phones as possible? Even if i can’t run some stuff on my phone i doubt there’s something my ipad air 4 can’t run
Cameron Stewart
It's a cheap brand expect your screen to die fast overheating and nothing to play emulation is a bad joke on phone's unless you plan 9n bringing a controller
Carson Collins
>i doubt there’s something my ipad air 4 can’t run
Updated versions of emulators

I would say just get a regular phone. I can't think of anything I wouldn't be able to play on my midrange Samsung A52. I don't really play mobile games, though. The last "demanding" game I played was Call of Duty on a four year old LG V40 and it ran fine. What does a gaming phone offer that a normal one doesn't?
Charles Gomez
You'll thank yourself later.

Gaming phone is to run emulators obviously. And also source ports like Quad Touch. You need some high tier Snapdragon chip to be able to run Arcane Dimensions or Metroid Prime in 60 fps.
Nolan Jones
I just buy the cheapest midranged phone I can. I see no point in gaming on a phone because mobile games are shit and on the off chance I do want to play one I can just emulate it. I know I'll develop an addiction for my phone if I use it for anything more than recieving calls and WhatsApp messages.
Julian Adams
>What does a gaming phone offer that a normal one doesn't?
The picture in the OP has a top of the line Snapdragon chip (which is known for overheating but that phone will come with a huge cooling system to fix that), which I guess works for future proofing at least 4 or 5 years other than gaming.
Julian Baker
What even is the point in buying an expensive phone in the year of our lord 2020+2? It used to be the case that newer/more expensive phone = faster but the difference between a 400 eu and 1200 eu phone is barely noticable nowadays, it's just random shit like having 17 cameras instead of 12 or having '3d face recognition' or whatever the fuck. Redpill me on phones Yea Forums
Oliver Wood
The Poco you saw is like 500 bucks, with the same specs as a $1200 one
Jaxon Collins
Gaming phones are a meme unless you plan to emulate handheld console games. Buy a phone with 8Go RAM and you should be able to play basically anything.
Lucas Morales
i bought an s22ultra because it comes with a funny pen for me to draw with and i really enjoy it. even if i do most of my artwork on my ipad and i would never use this thing for comms it's still very fun and a neat little feature. every game i've played is super smooth on it and i've had zero emulation issues.
it's just up to preference. there's no reason for you to do anything. there's no reason for you to buy an expensive meal, it'll just be a log of shit in the morning anyway.
i use my phone a lot and i want something powerful, like a little computer in my pocket that can handle a lot of tasks at once. if you don't use your phone a lot just buy a flip phone or something. it's literally just preference.

>Gaming phones are a meme unless you plan to emulate handheld console games
nigger a 4 year old iphone can emulate everything at full speed and wont repel every pussy in a 5 mile radius. gayming phones are a meme
Jeremiah Ross
I owned a poco F1 and now a redmi 10T pro so yeah I know about the 'flagship killer' tier, but I'm genuinely wondering what these 'flagships' even have to offer because when I bought my current phone it was advertised as having basically the same specs but cheaper materials and to me it's unreal that having a more expensive casing makes up for an 800 eu difference.
Logan Clark
>nigger a 4 year old iphone can emulate everything
Wrong. I have an iPhone 8 and it can’t emulate GameCube.
Unless you’re okay playing at 16fps.
Austin Collins
I know this, I'm not even trying to be snarky I'm just out of the loop in regards to phones and want to know what the core features are that get people hyped for the latest, newest model because 'power' seems to be pretty normalized at this point
Zachary Adams
OP here, basically I just narrowed my options down to that one because it had everything I wanted.
>Big ass OLED screen
>Decent battery life
>Snapdragon for custom roms
>Glass back + aluminum frame
>Sub $600
Don’t care much about cameras but I guess it will be enough, the only thing that would’ve made it better would be expandable storage.
Jordan Hall
> 500 bucks, with the same specs as a $1200 one
Ha-ha. No, for 1200 you will get 2x faster chipset and 10x better screen/sound. Also 500 price is already in Steam Deck range. Cheap phone with a huge screen is the best for old (up to gen 5) emu.
James Robinson
not everyone bought a smartphone at the same time, therefore there will always be one person excited for a new product at any given point because everyone has an outdated piece of tech at some point. i buy a new phone every 2 years or so, give or take a few months. my last phone was an s10+ and the s22u was a huge leap over it.
power for the most point has plateaued but there's some incremental progress. this is the case for a lot of computing products in general because we progressed very fast but now things are slowing because we're kind of at our current limit.
cameras are usually the biggest feature for people next to the display, with speed just being a "it's faster we promise" type situation. for me it's display, OS and processing power that matter most, so my new phone was a natural given (plus the wacky stylus addition because it's not attached to a phone-tablet hybrid anymore and because i love drawing)
just buy a chinkphone. huawei makes fine stuff for the most part.
the only phones you should avoid are pixels and iphones.
Ian Stewart
>Ha-ha. No, for 1200 you will get 2x faster chipset
Show me a faster chip than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, that isn’t from Mediakek
Wyatt Cooper
Poco is a chink phone. And I’m not giving money to huawei.

Yes, I’m sure this will last 2 to 3 years.

Liam Fisher
The 10R looks good but it doesn’t have a Snapdragon
Luke Adams
5g lmao. The question remains though, what good game 5x more expensive Poco can run, and a generic 6"+ android phone cannot?
William Thompson
Sure thing bro, get the F4GGOT phone
Gabriel Ross
I'm still rocking a 7t tbqh
Camden Bailey
Hm, really top chip, not 6xx something in this poco. This chip costs 2/3 of the phone itself, they likely to cheap out on other stuff like battery. I would expect more throttling on poco, than on galaxy s22u (that is in a correct price range for that chip).
Asher Bennett
>I would expect more throttling on poco
We'll see, hopefully not.

Which game will look better in 1080p than in 720p on a 6-7" screen?
Daniel Sanchez
6.8+" CHADS ASSEMBLE
Dylan Lopez
> 6.8+" phone
That moment when someone gets 100 bucks 7" tablet with better screen dimensions for emus.
Owen Walker
Also fuck you, you can't use a 720p phone in current year. Fucking caveman.
Landon Ward
i bought a z fold when my house sold
it's gigantic, awkward to use with one hand and the battery is shit
but i like it
Samuel Campbell
>$1000+
>Screen crease in the middle
Colton Taylor
Which game will look better in 1080+p on this screen size?
Luke Martinez
I don't care nigger, I'm not reading text on 720. And games simply won't run on that slow ass shit. Enjoy your 7fps minecraft or whatever.
John Davis
Picrelated is the best ever game I've played on a phone? Will it run better on $500+ phone than on a $100 one? Which one will run better?
Leo Baker
I'm going to use my galaxy S9 until 2030.
Aiden Kelly
>I'm going to use my iPhone 4 until 2020
This is how retarded you sound.
Aaron Lee
> And games simply won't run on that slow ass shit
Which good game won't run on it? Was playing Max Payne recently, runs perfectly.
Daniel Sullivan
Bards Tale looks impressive on a phine, will it run better on Poco?
Luke Torres
This is some of the worst poorfag cope I've ever seen. You purposely got a shit low end phone for 100 bucks instead of looking for an old flagship for the same price, and you're so desperate to defend your dumbass choice to avoid buyer's remorse.
Kill yourself you Norwegian fuck.
Tyler Mitchell

Dylan Long
They're usually just normal top-line smartphones with a bunch of gimmicks like active cooling and an extra button or two.
Aaron Wood
its mostly the camera. i just walk around taking funny pics of wildlife when on my walks. i took a nice picture of a baby squirrel and adult squirrel sitting on a mans porch then the man yelled at me for taking pictures of his house so i just took more picture. its a good time
Matthew Bailey

Lmao based, post the pic
Easton Sanders
This is a vidya board, we are comparing devices for playing actual games, not running CPU benchmarks.
What game can make me pay 5x for a phone?
Also, you won't get even a 3 years old flagship for 100 bucks.
Brody Lewis
Picrelated is a descent game, will it run better on Poco?
Yes, on a Steam Deck you can get dosens of better similar games (Blasphemous, Dark Devotion etc), but for Android it is a gem.
Jason Flores
Top of the line chip on the F4 GT, I don't see why it wouldn't run better than whatever you have now.
Jason Barnes
What will this chip do better for this game that justifies 5x price of it? Of for picrelated?
Leo Sullivan
I've found one Android game that will run better, Unreal engine inside and it is demanding, are there any others?
Benjamin Morris
Picrelated, a hack to SNES Super Metroid, is the best metroidvania of 2020, and it runs perfectly on a $100 phone. Expensive phones are overrated.
Jeremiah Garcia
Descent sure looks different now
Gavin Adams
Yeah, lol, looks and plays great. Is it a PSX version, it doesn't look that good for me in Magic DosBox? That soundtrack on psx
Sebastian Wright
Picrelated does not have much gameplay, but runs and looks perfectly on Android.
Wyatt Diaz
Some more good Android ports
John Morris
I didn't like Trine gameplay that much, but it looks great on Android
Anthony Wright
Dunno how good this KOTOR2 Android port is
Ryan Ross
>Game does not have much gameplay
What? Since when did Snoy make Android games?
Benjamin Thompson
Why does a gaming phone need two cameras? Why do ALL phones need multiple cameras on the back? I get that many people like to take photos but I'm guessing most people don't care about how much focal range a phone has or whatever.
Ryder Gonzalez
KOTOR1 port was alright, it worked fine on my ass old Kindle Fire HD
Even touchscreen navigating was not that bad, managed to kite enemies on high difficulty
Brandon Baker
>Why does a gaming phone need two cameras? Why do ALL phones need multiple cameras on the back?
At first it was for the "portrait mode", one camera captures you and the other measures the depth so the software can blur the background.
Then it just became a dick measuring contest of who has the biggest and most cameras.
Eli Williams
oneplus 7 pro here
i really love the no front camera, i wish more phones did that because i never take pictures and dont like some random circle on my screen.
Cameron Sanchez
Until phone manufacturers get over their retarded "no physical buttons" shit, phones will never be good for gaming.
