TOP 5 BEST MOBILE PHONES FOR GAMING
5. Samsung Galaxy S22 series
Samsung’s 2022 flagships aren’t branded as gaming phones, but they are true powerhouses that offer exactly what most gamers need in a handset. Like the previous generation, the lineup includes the Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and super-premium Galaxy S22 Ultra.
All three Galaxy S22 models offer top-of-the-line specs, including adaptive 120Hz AMOLED displays, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (or Exynos 2200) processors, and excellent battery life. The S22 Ultra is the most powerful of the bunch, with an extremely versatile camera setup and, just like last year, S-Pen support. Only this time, the S-Pen is integrated into the body of the device. Galaxy Note fans, rejoice!
It isn’t just about the hardware, either. All three models offer Samsung’s Game Launcher and Game Tools options, allowing you to tweak performance in individual games. The Game Tools suite also lets you easily adjust resolution, take screenshots, record videos, and more.

4. OnePlus 10 Pro
One Plus is a perennial favorite of our readers here at Android Authority, and for good reason. These phones might not offer the same level of value as they have in the past, but they combine great hardware with great software in a way that’s sure to please.
2022 only features one model in global markets: the OnePlus 10 Pro. Much like last year’s One Plus 9 Pro, it earns a spot among the best gaming phones with a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, up to 12 GB of RAM, and a gorgeous 120Hz AMOLED display.
One Plus 10 Pro specs:
- Display: 6.7-inch, QHD+

3. Nubia Red Magic 7
If you’re looking for one of the best gaming phones that’s a little easier on the wallet, the Nubia Red Magic 7 will tick a lot of boxes. Designed for gaming first and foremost, it has the high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, up to 16 GB of RAM, active cooling, shoulder triggers, and a blazing fast 165Hz AMOLED display.
That active cooling feature is also a huge upgrade over last year’s Red Magic 6, with the company promising 400 times better heat dissipation and absorption. It even has a headphone jack!
But the real kicker is that it costs less than half the sticker price of some of its brand-name competitors. Starting at just $629/€629/£529, it’s just a hair more expensive than many upper-midrange phones, with specs that punch well above that. You don’t get the same commitment to updates or camera performance, but for pure gaming, it’s a killer device.
- Display: 6.8-inch, Full HD+
- SoC: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
- RAM: 12/16 GB
- Storage: 128/256 GB
- Cameras: 64, 8, and 2MP
- Front camera: 8MP
- Battery: 4,500mAh
- Software: Android 12
2. Black Shark 5 Pro
The Black Shark 5 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset that can handle just about any game out there when paired with as much as 18 GB of RAM. It features dual VC liquid cooling plates that have a new “antigravity” feature designed to improve the circulation of the cooling liquid. The processor, battery, and 5G antenna are directly connected to the cooling plate via a copper alloy design, which should help provide superior heat dissipation and keep the phone cool enough to run at peak performance.
The handset sports magnetic triggers, giving gamers a tactile controller feel rather than relying solely on on-screen controls. It packs a 4,650mAh battery with 120W charging that gets the phone from zero to full in just 15 minutes, according to the company.
Other specs and features worth pointing out include a 6.67-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate, three rear cameras, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
- Display: 6.67-inch, Full HD+
- SoC: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
- RAM: 8/12/16 GB
- Storage: 256/512 GB
- Cameras: 108, 13, and 5MP
- Front camera: 16MP
- Battery: 4,650mAh
- Software: Android 12
1. Asus RO G Phone 6 series
The RO G Phone 6 series consist of two phones. The first is the RO G Phone 6 Pro, which is the best of the two. It has everything a gamer needs, including a large 6.78-inch display with a 165Hz refresh rate, a massive 6,000mAh battery with 65W charging, and great performance thanks to Snapdragon’s latest chipset paired with 18 GB of RAM.
The device comes with ultrasonic Air triggers that are fully customizable in terms of sensitivity and button mapping. To level up your gaming experience, you can also get various accessories like Asus’ Aero Active Cooler 6 which does a great job cooling down the handset when playing games for a long time, or the Kauai 3 controller which makes the gaming experience more enjoyable for most people.
The second device in the series is the RO G Phone 6, which is more or less identical to the Pro model. The only two differences are that it tops out at 16 GB of RAM instead of 18 GB and that it lacks a secondary rear display, which is capable of displaying time, text messages, logos, and other simple things.
The phones are not perfect, though, as they lack wireless charging and have a limited IPX4 rating. Regardless, they are still among the best, if not the best gaming phones you can currently get.
- Display: 6.78-inch, FHD+
- SoC: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
- RAM: 18 GB
- Storage: 512 GB
- Cameras: 50, 13, and 5MP
- Front camera: 12MP
- Battery: 6,000mAh
- Software: Android 12
