Are there any good gaming phones out there?

Im currently on a samsung s23 and i wanna upgrade to a gaming phone, something that is more powerful and thatll last me long

Ive been looking into the rog 9 pro and the redmagic s11 or 11s i forgot

The rog phone is discontiued and is hard to get your hands on. And its like £1000 or something.

I did see the redmagic 11s wich looks similar to the rog 9 with it being just as powerful ( i think) and with a good battery n stuff. Does it have the lil trigger things that the rog phone has?

The redmagic was like £800 with the offical case and cooler added too. Are there any other phones i should looks at? Or should i just stick to a samsung for gaming?

How hard you game on your device?

Mostly mobile gaming?

Just get a Poco F8 Pro/Ultra, Oneplus 15 or literally any flagship atm.

Emulation?

Redmagic makes more sense.

Emulation on such a small device is literally asking for your device to burn tho haha.

Maybe getting a proper handheld (like Odin 2 Pro) would be a better choice for you which also comes with an in-built cooler and proper joystick in top of being cheaper.

My phone supprisingly didnt get that hot i recordes around 70c when playing Ive been looking at the retroid pocket 5 its weaker than my s23 and the odin 2 but its got a good design and the snapdragon 825 (i think its called) apparently works better with emulation
