We test: Are gaming phones better than flagship phones?

We've had a sudden spike in gaming phones popularity, but do they really make sense seeing how mainstream flagships have the same internals? We performed some tests and came to a surprising conclusion.

The ASus ROG 2 should have been here. It's the gaming phone to watch for.

[FFGG]

Why am I getting reminded about Cisco Ramon in the Flash?

[mahmoodzbh]

Damn! I didn't think Huawei's flagship performs as bad as this under heavy runs...

[darrenalfonso]

Sustained CPU Performance should become part of the review published on gsmarena.com

[KAMGOSEN]

Note 9 would have been a perfect participant, with the cooling system it has.

[JamesTechJackin]

When the ROG 2 drops please do this video again and add the Notes. Great content y'all

[jaysonrare]

watching this on my budget not for gaming smarphone 😂😢

[Dr.Hypersonic]

You forgot to include the Asus Rog Phone 2 main gaming

[Serbofreak]

Great video with a lot of data. I really appreciate this channel being objective and providing solid facts to support their arguments.

[lifeisgood]

The video we didn't ask but the one that we needed.

[weekendwarrior]

Doesn't the s10+ have a cooling pipe? Seems weird you used the s10e

[mdimrankabir]

I think Huawei P30 use conservative / power saving governor. That's why performance dropped to 60% quickly & keep the device cooler than rest of it’s competitors.

Wow i have to say that Oneplus 7 not being a gaming phone but doing that well is pretty impressive

[niceguymaanii]

Nubia Red Magic 3 Clean sweeps all others. Nubia Red Magic real Gangsta 👍

[vitotheo]

I don't buy gaming phones because I want a phone that does well in bascially every category, like the camera, display, performance, etc.

[kasadam]

I am sure almost all the contenders in this test can play the heaviest mobile games available in the stores .

[adrianlim]

Another reason why the Mi9T is the value King of all smartphones. That phone is a BEAST

[demon]

Still Xperia never changed notorious for being a hot device.

[yearoldepicgamersoldier]

I feel like everyone expected the asus rog 2 to be on here
