On the back of smartphones'
availability, at every price point, and cheap mobile data, India is among
the world's fastest-growing gaming markets. Today, we are one of the top five
mobile gaming markets globally. Interesting, gaming phones are today available
at 15k or even less. However, if you look at the memory, most of the phones
below 15K sport 32GB to 64GB, while the top ten mobile games, on Google Play
Store, are close to 2GB in size each, which means the memory fills up in the
blink of an eye.
Soon our phone slows down,
and we are inflicted with pathetic gaming experience. Here are quick fixes to
bring your slow phone speed back on track:
1) Do You
Need All Those Apps: Most of the phones today come with plenty
of bloatware, as in the preinstalled apps. On top of that, we keep downloading
more and more apps. Many of these apps keep running in the background, even
when your phone is not in use. Which means they keep using CPU and occupying
memory on the RAM. Which eventually slows down the phone, as the phones come
with limited RAM etc. It is a good practice to frequently clean up your phone,
as in delete the apps that you don't use. Don't forget to delete caches, which
accumulate over time and become bulky.
2) CPU,
GPU And Right External Storage: For
gaming phone, you need a good CPU/ processor, remember, core count and clock
speed matter, and a better performing GPU/ graphic card, as rendering and
acceleration of video and animations, depend on it. Some even argue that GPU is
more important, sometimes even more critical than the CPU, when it comes to
playing a particular type of games. Also, as most of the games are bulky in
size, your internal storage can run out fast and slow down your phone.
Therefore, while choosing
an external memory card, remember to go for one that offers fast read and write
speeds. Such as SanDisk Extreme® microSDXC™ UHS-I CARD. It offers extreme
speeds for fast transfer, app performance, and 4K UHD, which is ideal for your
gaming Android phone. It comes with a read up to 160MB/s, which means you can
transfer you transfer 1000 high-resolution photos and 30 minutes of 4K video
(24GB) in less than 3 minutes. Plus, it's A2-rated so that you can get fast
application performance for a great gaming experience.
We know performance matters a lot for gaming. So,
while buying a few gaming phone, focus on GPU, storage, and CPU more than you
would on camera. Also, don’t overlook the battery size, as you wouldn’t want to
keep pausing your game and running to charge the battery.
