The mobility that smartphones bring to the table whenever you’re gaming simply makes them adorable. Gone are the days when you must own a gaming console before you can get immersed in extreme gaming action. For this reason, the smartphones manufactured of late are usually top level. Even up to the point that there are smartphones specially crafted for gaming.

The sophistication of their chipsets and displays are significant contributors to this cause. What’s more, their exclusive designs can blow your minds! In that light, we’ll be taking a look at five of the top gaming smartphones to grace the globe this year.

Topping the list, we have the Razer Phone 2. With an impressive cooling system in place, heavy games are played on the device with little worries about overheating. Even so, the smartphone is dolled up in an aluminium body. There’s the Razer Chroma logo at the phone’s aluminium back that’s RGB-illuminated. In the display arena, a stunning 120Hz refresh rate and 580 nits of brightness are crisp features of Razer Phone 2’s touchscreen.

Added to these, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 is aboard to serve protection to the display. A resounding 8GB RAM prevents lagging when playing games on the phone. In case the phone accidentally falls into the water while gaming, the IP67 rating on the phone has got you covered.
