Top Best phone for gaming 2018

The best phones for gaming in 2018 balance top hardware, sharp screens and large batteries to maintain peak performance during long game sessions. Developers have brought console-quality 3D games to mobile handsets with Fortnite and PUBG Mobile, but you'll need a high-quality device if you want to reach your battle royale potential.

The best gaming phones won’t just let you play the best smartphone games, they’ll ensure you have the best visuals and performance for years to come. The gaming phones we were carrying around three years ago can’t faithfully play high-end mobile games. You need to future proof your next phone into the year 2020, not just 2019.

Our recommendations factor in the speeds of chipsets, graphics chips, RAM and app ecosystem, the latter being the lead reason Apple's iPhone continues to run away with the prize. It has more games, and more games first, than Android. 

To that end, we’ve looked over all of the options and selected the best phones for gaming based on the options in their app stores, the power of their components, the quality of their screens, the size of their batteries, their support for VR, and more.
