 TOP 10!  Best gaming phone to buy in early 2023 |  TudoCelular Guide

TechSmart has prepared buying guides for anyone who cares about the quality of their cell phone’s screen and sound. Media consumption is increasing among Europeians and the smartphone has become one of the main entertainment devices due to its versatility to be used anywhere.

Games are also increasingly popular with the growth of people who enter the universe of games in search of passing the time in a few minutes of waiting in line at the doctor or even those who have their smartphone as their pocket console. With that in mind, TechSmart has prepared this guide gathering the best mobile phones to play that we tested in 2022.

We take into account devices that can run even the most demanding titles well, even if they are not capable of running at maximum graphic quality with all the extras activated. It’s also important to have a screen with a refresh rate above 60 Hz for greater fluidity and a good battery to play for hours without worrying.

Motorola Moto E32

Entry phones still suffer from weak GPU, 60 Hz screen or battery that can’t handle many hours of gaming. Taking that into account, the cheapest option we tested in 2022 that delivers a satisfying gaming experience is the Moto E32, which can be found now in early 2023 for around R$900.

It comes equipped with Unisoc’s T606 chip that brings the Mali-G57 GPU that has enough power to run current games in HD resolution. Motorola’s basic features 4 GB of RAM, which avoids bottlenecking heavier games when there are other apps open in the background.

The Moto E32 is capable of running most games well, but not all of them at maximum graphics quality. In the case of PUBG, it will perform well when playing in HD with a high frame rate and even some extras enabled. In Call of Duty you’ll have to play on medium and leave some features disabled, such as anti-aliasing. Its battery yields well and the cell phone does not heat up beyond normal when playing for hours.

Samsung Galaxy M23

Exceeding R$ 1,000 we have the Galaxy M23 that comes with a screen with Full HD resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz for greater fluidity than the 90 Hz screen of the Moto E32. Of course, don’t expect to see all games running at 120fps on a phone this size, but more casual games can take advantage of that.

Equipping the Korean model we have the Snapdragon 750G chip that brings the Adreno 619 GPU and there is still 6 GB of RAM to ensure that the other open apps do not weigh on performance. As much as the resolution is higher than the Motorola model, the more powerful graphics chip can handle it.

M23 can run PUBG in HD quality with high frame rate and extra features enabled. In Call of Duty it was possible to play in very high graphic quality, but here without having the extras activated, besides the anti-aliasing. Lighter games run smoothly on this affordable Samsung midrange. Its battery lasts a long time and guarantees fun for several hours playing.

Samsung Galaxy M53

Going up to the range of R$ 1,500 we have the Galaxy M53, which also features a Full HD 120 Hz screen, but even bigger than the others to improve the experience when playing, especially with strategy or RPG games.

This Samsung intermediary comes with Mediatek’s Dimensity 900 chip, which may not be as powerful in some tasks as the Snapdragon 778 present in some intermediaries, but the fact that it has 8 GB of RAM and the Mali-G68 GPU with four graphics cores , makes it handle well with any current Android game.

Lighter games take advantage of the 120 Hz screen to reach 120 fps, while more demanding games run well with lower fluidity. Call of Duty doesn’t stutter even on high quality with very high frame rate and anti-aliasing turned on. In PUBG we had good performance with graphics in the HDR profile and rate in ultra with all the extra features activated.

Motorola Moto G82

Close to R$ 2,000 you will find the Moto G82 on the national market, one of Motorola’s best options for those looking for a good mid-range cell phone that doesn’t cost too much. It also features a large screen with Full HD resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate for high fluidity.

The G82 is one of several mid-rangers released in 2022 that comes equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 chip. Motorola could have brought the version with 8 GB of RAM to Europe, but the model with 6 GB of memory still does the job and does not hinder performance in more demanding games.

All the games we tested ran well on the Moto G82. Call of Duty delivered good fluidity even at high quality with filters enabled. In PUBG it was possible to play without gagging in the HD option with activated extras. Lighter games will take advantage of the screen and go beyond 100 fps.

Little F4

Xiaomi is also present in our guide with its more affordable Poco line. The standard F4 model can be found in national retail for around BRL 2,500 via the marketplace and offers good value for money for those who take gambling more seriously.

The Poco F4 comes with a large screen with Full HD resolution and 120 Hz rate. So far nothing surprising compared to the others mentioned, but it highlights the touch sensor that responds to 360 Hz, which reduces latency and helps in competitive games. In addition, Xiaomi has included a thermal dissipation system that prevents the cell phone from heating up when playing for a long time.

The F4 is a great gaming phone. Even the heaviest games manage to run smoothly at maximum graphics quality and that includes PUBG and Call of Duty. All this thanks to its hardware that combines the Snapdragon 870 with a good amount of memory.

Motorola Edge 30 Pro

A 120 Hz screen is standard on any decent intermediary launched in 2022, but if you want superior fluidity, there are already cell phones with a 144 Hz screen that are not exactly aimed at gamers with an exotic design full of frills and that cost a fortune. A good example of this is Motorola’s Edge 30 Pro, which can currently be found for just over R$3,000.

From here we have advanced cell phones that bring the best hardware from the time they were launched and in the case of the Edge 30 Pro there is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Qualcomm’s most powerful chip of the first half of 2022. In addition, we have 12 GB of RAM to ensure your games don’t get in the way of multitasking performance.

All the games we tested on the Edge 30 Pro ran at maximum quality, including Call of Duty and PUBG with all filters enabled and with great fluidity. Lighter games like Subway Surfers and Mortal Kombat run above 100 fps.

Little F4 GT

If the Poco F4 made our list, we couldn’t leave out the Poco F4 GT, which in addition to being more powerful brings some cool extras that enhance the gaming experience, such as the triggers on the side of the device that are hidden and are activated by keys. specials. They feature haptic feel with advanced vibration that enriches the shooting experience. The Chinese model can be found for around R$ 3,500.

In addition, its 120 Hz screen is even better than the one on the cheapest model in the line. Here we have a touch sensor that responds at 480 Hz for lower latency and better response time in games. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and up to 12 GB of RAM guarantee high fluidity with any Android game.

We tested PUBG and Call of Duty at maximum quality with all filters activated and the Xiaomi phone managed to run smoothly without suffering from overheating. Its battery might not last as long as others on our list, but it fully recharges in just 20 minutes. So you can have your cell phone recharged while you take a break for a snack.

Realme GT 2 Pro

realme is another Chinese manufacturer that makes its presence on our list. The company brought its powerful GT 2 Pro to Europe in 2022, a top-of-the-line device that can compete with the best on the market. Its price was steep at launch, but it is possible to find it in offers around R$ 4 thousand now in early 2023.

It is another one on our list with a 120 Hz screen and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The Adreno 730 GPU has already shown that it handles well with any Android game in Full HD resolution and even in the GT 2 Pro with a Quad HD screen we have great performance in more demanding games.

It was possible to run Call of Duty and PUBG at maximum quality with all filters activated without any hiccups. Realme took care of the cooling system and we didn’t see the GT 2 Pro heat up as with others with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4

It’s a fact that playing games on the big screen has its attractions, but not everyone is comfortable with having a big cell phone in their pocket. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 solves this problem. It has a large 6.7-inch screen, but it can be folded and take up less space. Samsung’s foldable top costs much less than the Fold and delivers similar performance in games, so save by investing less than R$5,000 for it.

Here we have the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, the most powerful version of Qualcomm’s hardware from the second half of 2022. This chip brings greater performance, lower power consumption and suffers less from heating. This combined with 8 GB of RAM and the beautiful Dynamic AMOLED 2X 120 Hz screen, we have a great gaming experience.

We were able to run PUBG at maximum graphics quality with everything turned on and with great fluidity. In Call of Duty it is also possible to play in high quality with everything turned on. Other games ran without any problems with fluidity or bugs. The battery lasts well, even if it’s smaller than many on our list.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro

If you don’t care so much about the big screen or think that iOS has better games, then we recommend the iPhone 14 Pro as the best buy now in early 2023. Its price of R$ 8 thousand can be steep for many, but the cheaper models from Apple have a screen of only 60 Hz, which compromises fluidity.

In addition, the iPhone 14 Pro features more up-to-date hardware, the A16 Bionic, which has a more powerful GPU and faster processor to ensure greater stability in games. Having just 6GB of RAM may seem small compared to Android models with twice the memory on our list, but iOS has better memory management.

What about gaming performance? All the ones we tested ran smoothly at maximum graphics quality. It is not surprising that a cell phone with hardware of this size does not present any stuttering problems. The battery may not impress, but it is possible to play for a long time without worrying.
