The Six Best Phones for Playing Games in 2020 (part 2)

iPhone 11 Pro Max

The iPhone 11 Pro Max is capable with a brilliant camera, a great screen, and access to the Apple App Store. This is important, since many of the most recent games arrive on iOS first and usually have graphical alterations taking advantage of the iOS devices’ features.

The iPhone 11 Pro is considered to be the best mainstream gaming phone, but not the best overall, since it doesn’t have the gaming-specific features like the Asus ROG Phone 2 and it doesn’t have Air Triggers, special gaming modes, the cool ROG design touches, or a 120Hz refresh screen.

However, in general, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is still a serious gaming machine thanks to its latest Apple A13 Bionic processor, a 64-bit monster with a GPU 20% faster than the older iPhone models, Spatial Audio technology, Apple’s stereo speakers, and Dolby Atmos support, as well as lots of clever software for developers to make games better than ever.

OnePlus 8 Pro

OnePlus 8 Pro is one of the most powerful multimedia smartphones you can buy, thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 865 processor, 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with HDR10+ support. It also features 12GB of fast LPDDR5 RAM, Wi-Fi 6, and a 5G connection.

There are two gaming modes on this phone, including the Game Space, acting as a library for your phones and boosting the CPU, GPU, and RAM performance when playing games. Moreover, partnering with e-sports team Fnatic, OnePlus has created Fnatic Mode, which goes one step further by optimizing the CPU, RAM, and GPU for gaming, cutting out distracting notifications, and improving the network connectivity for playing online games.

The OnePlus 8 Pro also has great audio quality, giving an improved gaming experience and a strong 4,510mAh battery that can last all day even with a lot of play time.

The evolution of mobile phone

The evolution of mobile phone

Now it’s hard to imagine a life without mobile phones and they have only been available for a short period of time.

The first mobile device emerged from the Motorola labs in 1973, weighing about 4kg, taking 10 hours to charge, and allowing 30 minutes of talk time. This was the beginning of what was to become one of the world’s biggest technological advances.

The 1980s to the 1990s, phones progressively got smaller. Looking back at the images of phones in the eighties conjures images of large, bulky phones with long impractical aerials. The nineties signified a move to a sleeker and more pocket-friendly option.

Who can forget the faithful Nokia 3310? The indestructible phone known to many of us. Flip phones and phones with keypads started to become more popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

In 2007, a phone came along that would change technology as we know it now. The iPhone was launched on June 29th 2007 and was the beginning of the mass move to smartphone devices.

With unlimited capabilities and new apps developed daily, the phone of the moment is undoubtedly the smartphone. In the first quarter of 2020, more than 336 million smartphones were sold and sales are set to rise as more affordable options are launched in the developing world.

The look and feel of smartphones have arguably come full circle by in some ways mimicking earlier models, with a move to larger (but usually thinner) devices. Screens in many cases are getting bigger and bigger, with ‘phablets’ (phone or tablet hybrids) becoming ever popular.

It’s not easy to say what phones in 2115 will look like and we can only imagine what they will be capable of.

Three useful tricks for mobile phones you may not have known

These are three useful tricks for mobile phones – both for iOS and Android smartphone – that you might have not known.

1. Clean smartphone screen

If you are one of those who use a screen protector particularly a plastic one, there is a useful way to repair scratches on it.

In order to remove all the scratches, all you need to do is to get a toothpaste tube and squeeze it onto your screen. However, if your smartphone is not a waterproof one, you should put it on a screen protector, rub it all the way in, leave it for about five minutes and later wipe it off with a cloth.

Avoid using the toothpaste on a glass display since it could ruin the screen.

2. Use earphones button for camera clicks

A helpful function of earphones is that when you plug them in, if they have a remote on them, then you can use its button to take a photo remotely. That is also true for bluetooth earphones if you pair your bluetooth earphones.

You can take a photo remotely if your bluetooth earphones have a button by launching the camera and clicking the pause/play button. This is a great trick for taking group photos.

3. Free screen on a plane

Not all planes have a personal screen for each person to entertain. That doesn’t mean you always have to go without it. All you need to do is to download a film onto your smartphone in advance, or use inflight WiFi, provided that it is available.

If you don’t want to hold your smartphone up all flight long, you should prepare a zip bag beforehand and make a small hole next to the bottom for the audio cord. Then put the phone at the bottom of the bag, pull the tray down a bit, and stuff the end of the bag between the seat and the tray, and seal the tray.
