BEST GAMING SMARTPHONES IN 2018

Gaming smartphones are a thing now. Their incredible power to render out tons of frames during gameplay can be appreciated.

Processors and Graphics units are now powerful enough to support high resolution displays, Live 4K video editing, 4K UHD recording at 60FPS, High Frame recording at 960FPS(720p) and lot more.
