In 2019 phones\nrange from very pricey to affordable. It all depends on what your budget is and\nwhat features you desire. While you can blow it out and get the latest iPhone\nor Android, there are many gaming phones out there that are reasonably priced while\nproviding the specs that will enable you to play the latest games without lag.\nHere are a few of your options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Razer 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/best-phone-for-gaming\">isn\u2019t the cheapest\nphone<\/a> on the market, the Razer Phone 2 is a very good option for those\nlooking for a quality gaming phone. With a 4,000 mAh battery, 8GB of RAM, and a\nSnapdragon 845 chip, the Razer 2 can power just about any game. It also has\ngreat speakers and a refresh rate of 120hz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extensive settings allow you to\ntweak battery life and performance, giving gamers the control they want over\nsuch features. If you are a casual gamer you may want to look elsewhere for a\ncheaper phone or one you can combine with day-to-day use, but the Razer 2 is\nperfect for any serious gamer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Huawei P30 Pro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similarly priced phone is the\nHuawei P30 Pro, which is not just a great gaming phone but a respectable smart\nphone in general. It has a hefty battery with 4,200 mAh that ensures a gaming\nsession won\u2019t be cut short. It also has an improved heat pipe and a vapor\ncooling chamber that helps keep the phone cool while you spend many hours gaming.\nUnlike many phones known for their gaming capabilities, the Huawei P30 has an\nimpressive camera, with three rear lenses and one with a 5x zoom and dark mode.\nFinally, the Kirin 980 chipset can run the latest games. The 8GB of RAM helps\neverything run smoothly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Black Shark<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xiaomi\u2019s Black Shark is a phone\ndedicated to gaming. While it offers some impressive features, it also one of\nthe cheapest gaming phones for what you get. It offers the option to block\nincoming calls and notifications while you\u2019re gaming and comes with a\ncontroller that\u2019s compatible with just about any Android game. According to the\nspecialists at the site MoneyPug, which is used to compare <a href=\"https:\/\/moneypug.co.uk\/comparison_pages\/compare-mobile-phones\/\">mobile\nphone deals<\/a>, the Black Shark is the cheapest smart phone that is completely\ndedicated to gaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honor Play<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An even cheaper phone is the\nHonor Play, which offers top-notch performance for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techadvisor.co.uk\/test-centre\/mobile-phone\/best-gaming-phone-3685580\/\">reasonable\nprice<\/a>. While the Play is ideal for gamers on a budget, it does lose out on\nspecific specs. For example, its display is not as crisp or clear as some of\nits competitors and its camera leaves something to be desired. Still if you\u2019re\nlooking for a cheap phone to game on, you can get the Honor Play at a fraction\nof the price of both iPhones and Androids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Honor View<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another offering of Honor, their\nView 20 model is stunning. It has a Kirin 980 and 6 or 8 GB of RAM. It also has\na great camera with a 48 MP lens. Selling between \u00a3500 and \u00a3600 with extra RAM,\nthe phone isn\u2019t the most expensive and offers some of the latest specs. It has\ngamers and non-gamers alike talking about the new model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OnePlus 6T<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OnePlus 6T is one of the best\nphones for gaming at an affordable mid-level price. It has a Snapdragon 845\nchipset and large 6.41-inched OLED display screen. Sporting a 3,700mAH battery,\nyou can game for a while but not as long as some of the other competing gaming\nphones. It also has some new features like a fingerprint scanner on the screen\nthat allows for the larger display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Asus ROG Phone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn\u2019t the cheapest of these\noptions, but the Asus ROG has become known for some of the top specs and\nseveral great gaming accessories. The ROG also has the Snapdragon 845 and 8GB\nof RAM. A 90hz refresh rate is better than most, but not as good as the Razer\n2. The 4,000mAH battery will allow you to game for a while. All of these specs\nare great, but gamers love the accessories you can purchase with this phone,\nincluding a clamshell case that has a bonus screen, a controller extender, and\na clip on fan that helps reduce heat. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whatever the budget, if you are looking for a gaming smart phone you can find the one you want.
