Four super gamer phones ideal for competing with the highest demands

To play without any restrictions mobile titles that chew resources, such as PUBG, Fortnite, Call of Duty or Genshin Impact, four Android super gamer phones that reach the same power and manageability of a portable console. Which you get in Argentina.

To play on a mobile phone at an almost professional level, it is mandatory that the internal graphics allow movement in any virtual scenario without conceding any competitive advantage.

And while almost all high-end terminals can withstand the rigors of the most demanding battles, they have plenty of power but without direction. There are a few models forged to take on rivals of any platform, all else being equal.

In view of the rapid rise experienced by the gamer segment, specialized brands have started to strengthen this category with innovative solutions featuring light screen printing, long-lasting batteries and a very flashy face.

In addition to being armored with refrigeration systems, side buttons that cushion movements, bring a giant screen, with a high refresh rate and a tactile response speed that ensures maximum fluidity. This makes them slightly heavier than standard lines.

The four teams that, for technical characteristics, are a step above the classic top of the range are: Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate, Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro, Black Shark 5 Pro and Poco F4 GT.

Asus ROG Phone 7 Ultimate

It is the most recent release and, at the same time, the one that distributes the most advanced equipment in the category. The apparatus is distinguished by a game aesthetics, although it avoids any jarring in its design. Comes with an external fan and packed in a futuristic box.

One of the high points is its 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, with a resolution of 2,448 x 1,080 pixels. It has a 165Hz refresh rate, a millisecond response time, and 720Hz sampling. With HDR10+ support, as well as a brightness of 1,500 nits.

Outlined on the back is the multicolored Asus ROG logo, with flashing LED perforations. On this screen you can add animations, see the time, but also notify you when the charge level drops or a call comes in.

On the right side of the case, the AeroActive Portal is housed, a mechanical door that opens when the AeroActive Cooler 7 fan, included in the combo, is inserted. Additionally, this external module features a subwoofer to bring out low-frequency sounds.

Additional layers have been added to the internal cooling system, both top and bottom, to keep SoC temperatures at bay. Additionally, a graphite sheet has been included which the company claims improves thermal performance by an additional 10%.

The design includes four physical buttons that can be programmed for specific movements along with touch-sensitive trigger pads on the right edge of the device.

As for its autonomy, it comes with two 3000mAh batteries that it inherits from past generations. The 65W fast charge manages to complete 70% of the battery in half an hour. This $1,500.

Nubia Red Magic 8 Pro

After several generations with few structural modifications, the most advanced version of this line arrives. Five years after the first Red Magic phone, the Chinese company has presented a total of 14 different phones for games, up until this recent release.

This year, Nubia is committing to a refreshed design, leaving the curves behind to accommodate straight lines and sharp angles. It also comes with the industry’s first ultra-narrow bezel OLED display and a second-generation under-display camera.

Its body is a combination of aluminum and glass. Like the Nothing Phone (1), its upper back is transparent and at first glance the internal components are visible.

Furthermore, on its back there are configurable RGB lights that illuminate the screen prints that indicate the position of the side triggers, the brand name and the fan.

To lower the heat it has an automatic cooling system, called ICE 11, composed of a total of ten dissipation layers, including a small turbo fan that rotates at 20 thousand rounds per minute.

For extra propulsion, the blades are shaped like shark fins and are 0.1 mm thick. They can reduce the temperature by 2.7°C, generate 4dB of noise and can increase the airflow by 35% compared to the previous generation.

Despite its 6.8-inch AMOLED screen (1,116 by 2,480 pixels) it’s a compact unit, with the increasingly common 20:9 aspect ratio. It’s an impressive panel, taking up 93.7% of the front with no visible cutouts.

With the GPU upgrade, the power efficiency ratio of the device has increased by 20% and the life of the 6,000mAh battery has increased by more than 20%, according to Nubia. This $770.

Black Shark 5Pro

While the new version is expected, with an estimated date for September, this Xiaomi-owned and gaming-focused device brings physical controls to ensure the best experience and a shock-resistant casing.

Its back has a small LED window that changes color with different patterns, to reflect different states: from calls, the time, messages or reminders.

Its 6.67-inch panel with OLED technology and Full HD + resolution (1080 x 2400), with a brightness of 1,300 nits and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage. It is accompanied by DC Dimming, SGS Eye Care certification and HDR 10+ compatibility.

In addition to its physical controls, the display detects variations in touch pressure. Like iPhone 3D Touch, it supports up to 7 levels of compression and get more precise movements.

Magnetic strikers, which flank its sides, are complemented by gesture-activated shortcuts. These triggers protrude slightly from its body, providing a more console-like gaming experience.

In the energy section, the Black Shark 5 Pro has a 4,650mAh battery, which, although it can withstand long sessions, is also depleted by constant activity. This is compensated for by a 120W charge, which fills the tank in 15 minutes. It gets from 245 thousand pesos.

Small F4 GT

The Poco is another of Xiaomi’s alternative lines, whose international version is the Redmi K50 Gaming Edition and stands out for its discreet appearance, compared to its contenders.

Its more gaming aspect is suggested by some RGB light strips on the triple camera module, which are activated when the phone is charging. It also incorporates retractable right edge attachment triggers.

They are activated by pressing adjacent physical switches, so they can be hidden when not in use. It’s a clever design, even if its switches always stick out.

The 6.67″ (20:9) AMOLED panel, with a high refresh rate and a sampling rate of 120Hz and 480Hz, which gives it great responsiveness.

Xiaomi designed the phone so that the battery charging unit and processor were kept as far away from each other as possible and placed vapor chambers above each to maximize cooling. LiquidCool 3.0 technology prevents overheating.

Its greatest virtue is in ambient sound. It includes two woofers and two tweeters (distributed at the head and edge of the device) to achieve a balance between bass and treble. The maximum volume is remarkably high and the fidelity amazing. From 250 thousand pesos.
