ASUS ROG Phone 3

ASUS ROG Phone 3 is one of the best gaming smartphones of 2020. That’s because it has been fine-tuned by the Taiwanese phone maker to offer a superior mobile gaming experience, courtesy the presence of Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ processor, 12GB of RAM, a Copper 3D Vapour Chamber, and a 6,000mAh battery under the hood. All of these ensure that you keep playing and continue breaking records on your favourite multiplayer games. To give it the extra edge, the ROG Phone 3 features ultrasonic AirTriggers 3 with Dual Partition functionality, which gives you the premium feel of gaming with a console.

iQOO 3

Vivo offshoot iQOO came up with its gaming-focused smartphone, the iQOO 3, which caught everyone’s attention this year. This is a power-packed smartphone that features the Snapdragon 865 processor, 8GB RAM, and a gorgeous Super AMOLED display. The USP of this gaming phone is the presence of monster touch buttons on the side that make multi-finger operations easier while gaming. The display comes with a touch response rate of 180Hz that enhances your gaming abilities, especially in battle royale games that require agility. You also get the mind-boggling 55W SUPER FlashCharge technology that takes your iQOO 3 from 0 to 50 percent charge in just 15 minutes, so you don’t have to wait much before immersing yourself in your next game.

OnePlus 8T

Although it isn’t targeted primary at mobile gamers, OnePlus 8T is one of the most powerful smartphones you can get in the market. Whether be it processing or charging or even its display, everything is super-fast and ultra-smooth. The biggest highlight is its 120Hz fluid display that makes your mobile gaming so much better than what you get on a regular 60Hz display. You get Warp Charge 65W charging technology, which is the fastest on any mainstream smartphone available in India. All of these combined with a sleek design keep you logged on to your favourite games all day long without a hiccup.

iPhone 12 Pro Max

Apple unveiled its most powerful smartphone yet, the iPhone 12 Pro Max, in October this year. Like the OnePlus model, the iPhone 12 Pro Max isn’t specifically aimed at gamers but is a brilliant option if you are looking for a gaming smartphone mostly because of the sheer power on offer. It is powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chip, which is one of the fastest in the market, and features a massive 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display for the widest gameplay experience. The best part about the iPhone 12 Pro Max is the Ceramic Shield atop its display, which makes it tougher than regular smartphone glass. This allows you to game nonstop without worrying about the screen getting scratches or cracks when you rage quit.

Xiaomi Mi 10

Xiaomi has nailed it with its 2020 flagship smartphone, the Mi 10. You get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, a 6.67-inch Curved E3 AMOLED display, and a massive 4,780mAh battery with 30W superfast charging. However, what makes this a true blue gaming smartphone is the presence of LiquidCool 2.0 vapour chamber, 6-stack graphene, and graphene cooling system that ensure your mobile gaming experience is as seamless and pleasant as possible. Then, you also get solid stereo speakers to let you fully immerse yourselves in the game you are playing.

With that, we come to the end of our nominations for the best gaming phone of the year.
