What is the difference between a flagship phone and a gaming phone?

In recent years, in addition to the “flagship phone”, the mobile phone market has also added an amazing name- “gaming phone”! In the world of computers, gaming represents high specifications and excellent performance. Huh~ Why does it sound like the flagship? No, no, the reason is that some designs are not common on mobile phones.

Whether it is flagship or gaming, it is inevitable to show off muscles, such as processors, memory, camera technology, and so on. The UIs of various brands have their own preferences, so I won’t talk about it.

The most interesting thing about playing games is that there is a set of smoothness and cooling, let’s talk about the reasons why gaming phones have become the new favorites of mobile gamers!

What does the flagship phone mean?

The flagship phone is the most dominant model of the mobile phone brand. The so-called “dominance” means that these flagship models have excellent general performance, new technology, and powerful functions, and have the ability to gather people’s hearts and pocket money.

So why are flagship phones so expensive? Because in order to make the flagship machine powerful, every brand will use new technologies, new appearance, new materials, new patents, etc. when building the flagship machine. These new things add up to the flagship machine price we see.

Although the flagship machine incorporates a lot of new technologies, it is not necessarily the best one for you. In fact, to put it bluntly, the mobile phone that suits you is the best, right?

n order to let everyone know more about the flagship models of each brand, I have briefly organized the following brand flagship models for your reference:

Brand Flagship model
Apple flagship iPhone 11 Pro
Sony flagship Xperia 1, Xperia 1 II
OPPO flagship machine Find X2 Pro, Find X2
HTC flagship machine HTC U12+

Huawei flagship machine Huawei Mate Xs
ASUS flagship machine ZenFone 7
vivo flagship machine vivo APEX 2020

What is the difference between a flagship phone and a gaming phone?

  • Gaming mobile phones have better heat dissipation capabilities than flagship phones

As mobile games become more and more sophisticated, you will need your mobile phone to run at full capacity to make the game smooth. Usually, such mobile phones will become “burning machines”. In order to perform the high-efficiency operation, gaming mobile phones offer excellent cooling technology to achieve the effect of cooling.

Most of the brands have adopted the soaking plate used in gaming laptops and introduced cooling fans to enhance the heat dissipation effect. Although most of the so-called flagship models adopt better specifications in terms of hard specifications, heat dissipation can also be taken into account. But in this part of the gaming mobile phone, you have to put more effort into it, so that the performance of the mobile phone can be displayed without any worries.

  • Playing mobile games with gaming phones is smooth and does not stuck

Shoo! The game is not stuck! You and I who love to play games should be aware of highly sophisticated games, and most of the files are quite large. If the reading and writing rate is not good, the whole game will be very slow.

The latest Black Shark 3 and ASUS gaming phone ROG II are equipped with UFS3.0 storage space, coupled with the latest processor, smooth and unimpeded!

Gaming mobile phone recommendation

  1. Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro (8G/128G) gaming mobile phone: Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro gaming mobile phone is positioned as “born for games”, so when it comes to gaming mobile phones, we cannot fail to mention Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro. It is equipped with tower-type global liquid cooling 3.0 technology, which has attracted the attention of the industry. “Tower cooling” is a mainstream cooling method in gaming equipment. Black Shark CEO Wu Shimin said, “The tower-type global liquid cooling system used in mobile phones can reduce the CPU core temperature by 14 degrees, laying a solid foundation for the ultimate performance of the Snapdragon 855.”
  2. ASUS ROG Phone: ASUS ROG Phone is an e-sports smartphone released by ASUS at the 2018 Taipei International Computer Show. It is the first smartphone of the ASUS e-sports brand “Republic of Players” (ROG), equipped with Android 8.1 and customized 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845+ 2.96GHz processor. It competes with gaming phones such as Razer Phone, Xiaomi Black Shark gaming phone, and Nubia Red Devils.

In this comparison, isn’t the flagship phone just a slogan?

Don’t get me wrong, in terms of overall specifications comparison; in fact, flagship phones can also handle large-scale mobile games. It’s just that the target customer group of gaming mobile phones is more concentrated on gaming, and at the same time, more attention is paid to the efficiency of heat dissipation.

In recent years, the flagship machine, in addition to showing muscles in the processor and memory, the most common competition is the performance of the camera! Apple’s flagship iPhone 11 Pro, Google Pixel 4, and Samsung’s flagship Note 10+, which were launched in succession last year, are all focused on cameras with super night shooting capabilities. This selling point has been vying for supremacy among the original manufacturers in recent years. !

In order not to allow gaming phone to take away their absolute elegance, in fact, smartphone brands have also begun to include some elements of gaming phones, just like Samsung’s flagship phones will include some commercial functions, and they also hope to include business people functions.
