Here are some reasons why you should get a gaming smartphone as your next smartphone

These days, there are a number of gaming smartphones already on the market and in smartphone reviews of these gaming smartphones, we love the performance and its gaming centric features and in our review of the POCO F4 GT, the most recent gaming smartphone that we reviewed, we love everything about the smartphone as it features everything that we need on the smartphone but why should we pick a gaming smartphone over other smartphones in the market right now? Here are some reasons why: 

Get better performance not just in gaming

Having a flagship gaming smartphone also means that you’re getting the best performance on a smartphone. Most of them pack the latest or the best processor in the market. In the case of the POCO F4 GT, we’re getting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Processor which is currently the best processor on a smartphone right now.

This means that not only that you’re getting an optimized performance on the smartphone but you’re also getting the best processor that gives you the flagship ISP which will also result to a better post processing of photos and of course, for other applications

Mobile games are getting more competitive

Unlike mobile games a few years ago, the games that are on the Play Store right now are getting more competitive and more demanding. Some of the new demanding and competitive games on the Play Store right now include Genshin Impact and also Apex Legends Mobile.

And to have advantage on these games, you need gaming-centric features like the magnetic pop-up triggers on the POCO F4 GT. This feature lets you have physical input on the smartphone so you can aim better and shoot faster compared to the competition. This will give you a better advantage in competitive games on the smartphone. 

Gaming smartphone means you’re getting top-notch hardware

If you’re not a heavy gamer. That’s fine because gaming smartphones will also give you top-notch hardware including a better display. You can get higher refresh rates and also a 10-bit panel to get more colors. This can help you have a smoother and better animation on the smartphone and of course, better colors when watching videos or checking photos.

Since we’re getting flagship features, we can also get better and faster charging speeds like on the POCO X4 GT that features a smart 120W HyperCharge that can fully charge your smartphone in just a few minutes

Better thermals mean longevity 

Having a flaship smartphone hardware doesn’t mean that you can get the same performance and experience as other smartphones with the same specs. For example, having a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is too hot on other smartphones but for other smartphones like the POCO F4 GT, we’re getting cooler and better thermals.

How? Thanks to the LiquidCool Technology 3.0, the multi-layer cooling solution of the smartphone does help in cooling the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. This means that you can get less throttling and better performance. But this also means that you can have longevity on your device as cooler temps on smartphones tends to lower the risk of damaging the battery or the hardware of the smartphone.

Those are just some of the reasons why you should get a gaming smartphone as your next smartphone. Actually, I’ve been using the POCO F4 GT especially for gaming for months now and I love every bit of features that this smartphone has including the excellent 10-bit display of the smartphone, the magnetic pop-up triggers for gaming, and the amazing performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

If you want to get a powerful gaming smartphone that won’t break the bank then you might want to check this one out, the POCO F4 GT.

vivo X80 Pro First Impressions and Hands-on

The vivo X80 Pro is the newest flagship smartphone from the company and it’s a smartphone co-engineered by ZEISS. The vivo X80 Pro is their current flagship smartphone and I love how powerful the camera is as this one packs a lot of unique features that we can only find on the vivo X80 Pro.  

First, the design of the smartphone is solid but the camera module on this one is very noticeable at the back as we got here a large rectangular module that houses the ZEISS cameras of the smartphone. 

As for the back panel, it comes with a smooth matte glass at the back and yes, it does offer wireless charging up to 50W so you won’t have any problems with it and then there’s the USB-C port below that supports 80W charging and on the side, we got the smartphone here with power button and volume rocker and it’s very accessible to the hands despite the large size.

As for the display, it’s actually pretty large at 6.78-inch and it comes with WQHD+ resolution with an AMOLED panel and also an up to 120Hz refresh rate and in my usage, I actually had fun with it as this one comes with a large enough display for watching videos and also for playing games and the resolution is definitely crisp.

The smartphone’s camera setup is a 50MP + 48MP + 12MP + 8MP and it comes everything that you need on a camera. It comes with 50MP GNV sensor for its main camera and then there’s the Gimbal portrait camera along with 48MP ultra wide-angle camera and also a periscope lens that can go up to 60x.

In our initial usage of the smartphone’s camera, we love the quality that we’re getting, and the sensor of the camera does really help in getting better bokeh and also better quality. The ZEISS T* coating is something that I really appreciate as I get less flares in my shots on my photos which is really great. For now, check out some of these awesome shots that I got from the vivo X80 Pro:

 

Verdict

All in all, I can really say that this is definitely the best vivo smartphone that I’ve ever reviewed. Not only that we got powerful hardware inside, but we also got here a powerful camera which is definitely one of the best in the market right now and the best one from vivo yet. The ZEISS-exclusive features on the smartphone do really help in everything that we want and need on our photos and videos.
