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..

 

[okcnaline]

Seriously?! The SAMSUNG GALAXY S4!!!! Like are you serious. That's not even sold on AT&T anymore!

Yes, so I said the Tegra K1 has the best of the best GPU, since it employed an actual Kepler GPU (albeit modified).

 

[ry4n_1337]

I should get an S4?

 

[okcnaline]

Flat out NO.

 

[ry4n_1337]

is iPhone 6 quad core?

 

[okcnaline]

Possibly. Wait until the next tech event. Otherwise, rumors say so...

 

[ry4n_1337]

Is S5 better than 5S in specs

 

[ry4n_1337]

can't I just make a phone

 

[okcnaline]

SERIOUSLY!!!! WHY are you guys suggesting CHINESE phones!!!! Most of them can't even do gaming well compared to other SoCs!!!!

Soon you can make a phone with Google Ara.

 

[ry4n_1337]

Chinese goons are bad? Lenovo is Chinese and has good computers

 

[okcnaline]

Uh yes. That's computers. Their phones are ABSOLUTE SH*T!!!! None of them have a proper Snapdragon, Tegra, or TI. (Well, except for Motorola, a Division of Lenovo of course X) ) And I also have a bricked Lenovo phone a friend gave me, and the MTK6513 on the phone isn't even unbrickable.

 

[ry4n_1337]

oh so y r they shit

 

[Someone Somewhere]

None of them have a proper Snapdragon, Tegra, or TI.

Um. So your definition of 'proper' is US-made? Note that TI no longer makes chips for phones. You're also ignoring Exynos and a couple of other non-china chipsets.

I believe Lenovo was the first to make an Intel-based phone.

If you buy supercheap stuff, it's supercheap. The country that it comes from isn't hugely important, except that the chinese stuff tends to get cheaper.

There are good chinese manufacturers, and there are bad. Someone like Oppo actually makes decent phones.

 

[ry4n_1337]

So then what is the most powerful pbone

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Depends on your definition of powerful. CPU or GPU.

 

[ry4n_1337]

GPU and running gta sa

 

[Someone Somewhere]

My guess would be pretty much anything with a snapdragon 801. Beyond there there's little difference.

Other option is to wait a month or two for the Note 4, which is expected to have the snapdragon 805.

 

[okcnaline]

Adreno is good GPU, NVidia Kepler GK20A in the K1 is OP, Mali is awful. And Snapdragon 800 is good enough, while Tegra is slight bit better.

 

[Someone Somewhere]

AFAIK there aren't any phones with a K1; it's strictly a tablet piece. Hence the higher power consumption, higher heat output, and higher performance.

 

[shahbaz200]

Yeah no phones with K1.
ry4n your iphone 5s is a good device to play GTA san andreas. No doubt iPhone 5S have dual core CPU but it can beat quad core Android phones because not only its GPU is good but games are optimized too. IMO 5S is better choice than LG G2. You can wait for up coming devices/optimization if you want android or wait for iphone 6 that should be coming in this year in september maybe and it will have dual core processor I think.
P.S: S5 features are more than 5S.

 

[ry4n_1337]

Yeah but GTA SA just fried my 5S battery causing it to drain but fixed after restore
