There is one huge drawback though, as in order to play games at 120fps, you’ll have to subscribe to Nvidia’s most expensive plan which costs an astronomical £17.99 per month (or £89.99 per every six months). However, some of the most popular mobile games – such as Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin Impact – already require an internet connection in order to play.

You could make the argument that gaming phones allow you to play games while you’re out and about, while using GeForce Now makes you dependent on an internet connection. Provided you have a fast enough internet connection, this means you only need a smartphone with a 120Hz refresh rate (such as the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus) to achieve a similar, if not better, performance than what a gaming phone is capable of. And since GeForce Now was initially locked to a 60Hz frame rate, the service still couldn’t compete with the experience that a gaming phone provides.īut that’s about to change as Nvidia confirmed (via The Verge) that it has started rolling out 120Hz support for Android smartphones. Of course, GeForce Now isn’t new, as it started rolling out on Android phones as far back as 2019. GeForce Now is a subscription service that lets you play a wide selection of PC games via the cloud – that means the power of your hardware is irrelevant, even if you want to play CyberPunk in 4K. You certainly won’t see any serious competitors turning up with a Steam Deck instead of a smartphone.īut that one key advantage for gaming phones may soon disappear thanks to Nvidia’s GeForce Now platform. This is highlighted by the huge eSports scene in mobile gaming, especially with the likes of PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile. This means they’re not quite capable of rivalling gaming phones in the competitive multiplayer space. Sure, the Nintendo Switch OLED and Steam Deck are fierce competitors as on-the-go gaming hardware, yet they’re both limited to a 60Hz panel. The ROG Phone 6 Pro delivers a speedy gaming performance, and features a high 165Hz refresh rate for smooth, responsive visuals which make it easier to shoot a target in a game. Thanks to their garish designs, I have always found it embarrassing to pull a gaming phone out of my pocket in public, while the quslity of the camera is overlooked in favour of cranking up the performance power.Īnd did I mention that they’re ridiculously expensive? The new Asus ROG Phone 6 costs £899, while the ROG Phone 6 Pro is even more spenny at £1099 – you could buy two P S 5 consoles with that much cash.īut despite my reservations about gaming phones, there’s no doubt that they serve a clear purpose. OPINION: I’m going to be honest with you, I’ve never been a fan of gaming phones.
