Best Android phone for gaming (mainly for GTA SA on max)

Closed

I'm thinking of HTC One M8 or M9.
Also I might consider Galaxy S6.
What can you say about these three phones, I can't choose, I don't care about the price actually though, all I need is MAX settings (In other words no lag)

Why do you want a gaming... phone? A nice tablet isn't better?

Never buy Samsung or Apple.

Xperia is my favorite.HTC,Nexus or even LG is good.But never buy Samsung, it's the worst android IMO.

Samsung is not an android OS...

But Samsung does install a lot of bloatware on their phones.

Samsung has it's own android OS, like every other android phone. TouchWiz is a terrible launcher and Samsung persists on using that crap filled with bloatware.

No it doesn't, it used Android Lollipop 5.1.1. on launch like every other smartphones. It's upgradable to Marshmallow, but then it's will use Nexus 6P launch OS.

TouchWiz is not the OS either, it's just the user interface from the phone. And like I said, Samsung's bloatware is bloatware.

Getting a clean custom OS like Cyanogenmod or even the clean Android Open Source Project straight from Google makes Samsung phones better than Xperia ones. But i agree, TouchWiz pretty much sucks.

I have always had Samsung phones and their are kinda decent for what I need, specially games. It's true my S3 Plus can't run San Andreas but for the kind of games I play on my phone is good enough.

That's because you researched an older phone model. Search the Nexus 6P.

I would just play on a console or PC, touch controls suck.

I think it's a better idea than playing it on a tiny piece of glass. ;)

Choose one of these ten models.

I think 40000 points are enough to run any game without lag but those are the best of the market.

OnePusOne and OnePlusTwo are very good high end phones, if you can get them. I've had good experiences with my Xperia Z, so maybe check out the Xperia series too. Samsung is shit, at least software-wise, and my father's S4 had a problem with overheating. HTC is good, especially M8, if you like it's shape (I don't). Nokia 3310 is the best phone, although it won't run Android.

Sony Xperia Z series is very nice, runs it at maax without lag, tested on all phones. If you want a giant screen (which I recommend for a game like GTA SA) go with the Xperia Z Ultra. One downside of the series: they can get relatively hot after 20-30 mins of continous gaming, but what doesn't get hot from a game like this? :)
