PC and console gaming aren’t your only options for entertainment. These days, mobile gaming has advanced to the point where even smartphone processors are struggling to keep up.
Games like Genshin Impact, Asphalt 9: Legends, and Ark: Survival Evolved are so immersive to the point of pushing your phone’s hardware to its maximum limit. And even if running them is possible, you might not get the immersive result you want especially on mid-range or older flagship phones.
Lags, stutters, and random crashes are just some of the problems you can experience when playing these demanding games on processors released years ago or with RAM just barely enough to run Chrome.
So if you’re annoyed with how your phone crashes every time you try to launch Genshin Impact or lags whenever more than two players appear in a game of PUBG, then you probably want to consider a flagship like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra - our standard choice when it comes to gaming on flagship phones.
Interested in good mobile games worth your time? Try these ones out before you dismiss mobile gaming altogether!
1) Genshin Impact
If you like continuity, you have to play Genshin Impact; it lets you play your character using the same account between your PC and your phone.
Enter into the world of Teyvat; an open-world action RPG where you take control of The Traveler, uncovering a conspiracy involving their long lost sibling and journeying with colourful characters.
Whether it's the Zelda-like exploration, explosive battles requiring precise coordination with your party, collecting new characters or even the limited event minigames, you’ll find plenty to love with the game.
We have to say that the game not only takes up a significant chunk of your storage but also demands some pretty powerful specs.
While mid-range phones should be able to run the game with medium settings, it is more enjoyable with a bigger screen and powerful processor you can find on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Flagship phones like it are more than equipped to be able to run it, even with the graphics set to max and the 60fps mode turned on.
2) Call of Duty Mobile
If you’re a fan of shooters, then you’ve definitely played Call of Duty (COD) Mobile once or twice in your life. After all, it's one of the best first-person shooters on the market, with tight controls, satisfying shootings, and fan favourite maps returning from their console and PC games. There’s even an excellent battle royale mode when you’re tired out from all the Death Match and Plant The Flag games.
For those who have a streak of a competitive edge in the game, not only do you want a powerful processor, but also a high refresh rate screen (and technically, a bigger screen to play on).
Luckily, most flagships like the Galaxy S22 Ultra have them. With a 120hz refresh rate panel, this allows you to react to your enemies faster than ever before. It isn’t an automatic cheat code, per se, but within the right gamer’s hand, they’ll definitely find themselves playing better than ever before.
3) Real Racing 3
Real Racing 3 is one of the most popular racing games for mobile, and it's easy to see why. Its realistic driving mechanism, as well as console-like graphics, makes it one of the best racing simulators of all time on Android. With over 200 real-life cars to choose from, whether it's Porsches and Lamborghinis, you’re gonna have a great time driving down the tracks and crossing the finish line.
Of course, graphics are only one part of the reason that makes Real Racing 3 so fun. The other part, of course, is the sounds.
Just imagine, the rumble of the engine, the tearing of rubber when you drift over a corner, and even the sound of cars crashing into one another are a vital part of the experience. And with phones that have speakers like Galaxy S22 Ultra’s AKG tuned speakers, you’ll feel like you’re right on the race track with them. This also helps with providing an immersive gaming experience too.
4) Sky: Children of the Light
One of the best indie games on Android; Sky: Children of the Light is an adventure game that captures your attention with its beautiful art style, fluid graphics, and surprisingly endearing characters that will tug at your heartstrings.
The graphics are also all the more enhanced when viewed on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra’s Dynamic AMOLED screen. Its QHD resolution not only offers intricate details, but also vibrant colors that will pop out of the screen and will surely make your gaming experience that much better, especially with Sky.
There’s a lot to like about the game, but its main selling point is undoubtedly its unique graphics. Soft and pleasant, it evokes a feeling of comfort not often found in games, which so often try to aim for realistic graphics.
5) Black Desert Mobile
MMORPGs aren’t often the type of games you would associate with mobile gaming, but Black Desert Mobile offers a bite-sized MMORPG experience that’ll be sure to sate your appetite.
You may have heard, but Black Desert itself received much attention due to the minuscule attention in details it has, from customising your character’s face structure, all the way to the intricacies of the buildings in the game.
With that said, the graphics are great, the animations fluid, and there are a lot of things to do in the world besides the usual dungeon crawling.
But one problem that MMORPGs can’t escape from is the cluttered UI screen. Mobile UI will make up for your skill bars, your health and mana, your mini maps, and a dozen other little things. You can imagine that it just makes your character barely visible amidst all that numbers and graphics.
This is where the advantage of having a big phone comes in, like the 6.8-inch screen on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which not only has enough room for all your UI, but also allows you to visibly see your character and their actions.
Buy the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
If you want to catch up with the latest in mobile gaming, it isn’t always the best idea to opt for mid-range phones. Even though they can perform everyday tasks like web scrolling and YouTube videos just as well as flagships, their gaming performance is hampered by their processors and RAM.
With a phone like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, not only are you capable of running those games, but you’re doing it with a clear vibrant screen, powerful speakers, as well as getting a pretty damn good phone overall.
That’s not all; whether it's the loud, punchy speakers or bright, vividly coloured screens, you’re sure to have one of the best gaming experiences with the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and up to 12GB of RAM, you can run any games on the phone with no problem. Plus, if you choose the 1TB storage model, you don’t ever have to worry about lacking the space needed for your games.
