Best Android Phone for Games?

[ry4n_1337]

I want the latest Android phone that can run games good (Like GTA SA), and is similar to the size of my iPhone 5S but more powerful. Price is not an issue. AT&T is the provider. Thx Oh and alot of space so I can get alot of games and stuff..

HTC One M8 for the speakers. It's also a flagship, so performance is robust.

I would also recommend the HTC one M8 as it should be more than sufficient for future games and it has the best speakers so far in an android device.

Even Nexus 5 goes blow 30 FPS and sometimes less than 20 FPS while playing GTA SA at maximum graphics.
I think phones with Tegra 4 or Tegra k1 should run it smooth at Max.
You can get Galaxy S5 for good game play. Its Processor and Graphics are good and because of its Good resolution display and AMOLED technology colors are brighter that feels better than other phones.

Nexus 5 32GB should do it for you.

When I campare N5 with S5 I hate two things of Nexus 5
No expandable storage.
Not a removable battery.

samsung s5 or samsung galaxy note 3 will be good for playing games

Just checked. Android is a piece of trash to iPhone when it comes to playing GTA SA... I'll stick to my iPhone

I agree on one point that iPhones have very good GPU.

 

[okcnaline]

Sure. 1.3 Ghz vs. the best market record of 2.5 Ghz and octacore SoCs? And did I miss the fact that the A7 is only dual core?

 

[ry4n_1337]

Yeah, but Android apps need to optimize all the hundreds of Android phone models, where iOS has a max of 9 devices, meaning less optimization.

Less Optimization = Better Performance.

GTA SA IOS > Android

Don't get me wrong, most Android phones are more powerful and customizable, but I'll be mainly playing GTA SA. If you look up any videos, you'll see no Android phone has beat iOS in GTA SA performance. Yet.

 

[okcnaline]

I understand that, but what I mean is that Apple iOS mainly has so much less raw performance, but so much software optimization. Of course I respect your choice, if you'll understand.

Thanks, alot of people would fight with me over this subject. You are a pretty cooperative individual.

MTK? They are Chinese made cheap devices. Do you think iPhone 5 owner will convenience himself buying it? XD

 

[ry4n_1337]

Lol. Any thing that'd run GTA SA stable 30+ FPS with no car reflections and medium to max settinge

 

[okcnaline]

But yah, why MTK? Those are so much less customizable. I actually would take an iPhone over that.

P.S.: How about the new NVidia Shield or Shield Tablet if you're going to talk about tablets all the sudden, peoggen?

 

[okcnaline]

Android 4.4

 

[shahbaz200]

Android 4.4

Your own link says 4.2.. Mediatek devices MOSTLY are stuck at 4.2.2.. Only few devices have got 4.4 kitkat. Many devs tried to develop 4.4 Cyanogenmod for MTK but it had many bugs, unstable. But very few have kitkat update.
Also 1.3Ghz wouldn't be enough because I cant run it fluid with 1.4 Ghz (S3) at maximum settings

 

[okcnaline]

No no no... I'm talking about the NVidia Shield. And the new generation of Shield and Shield tablet.

And aside, they don't have MTK, but rather NVidia Tegra 4 or Tegra K1.
The K1 has either 32-bit Cortex A15 quad core, or 64-bit Denver. Both has actual Kepler GPUs clocked at 950 Mhz instead of some Mali-400 MP2 stunt. And also, instead of Cortex A7.

Sorry my bad, I thought you are they guy who suggested that mtk phone.
And yeah, Shield is good. Upcomming nexus 9 is also awesome, uses Tegra K1 chipset but the problem is OP wants a phone that send messages and calls.
