While you can enjoy casual games on most phones these days, playing competitive or graphically intensive titles requires more firepower. This is where flagship-grade phones come in. Whether it is hitting accurate headshots or split-second turns in racing games, these phones always deliver top-notch performance.
If you’re in the market for a powerful phone to game on, here are the five best smartphones powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. This latest chip ensures highest graphics, highest framerates, and the best possible performance.
Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate
This is the most powerful Android smartphone right now, boasting top-notch specs and ROG’s gaming DNA. This includes dual-charging ports, customisable shoulder triggers, and support for a motorised cooling accessory.
