With mobile gaming becoming the next big thing in the industry(Google Stadia, Microsoft’s Project xCloud, Apple Arcade), the need for more elegant phones to withstand the demands of not only being a phone, but being a gaming device is ever more relevant.  

Processing power, speed, refresh rate, memory, temperature control and screen size are all even more exacerbated as we look to find the best of the mobile gaming market.  I am sure with this market growing from having only a handful of nice mobile games, to finding ways to fit full platform games into our pockets will help dictate the features that the next generation of mobile devices will require in order to compete.

I did some research on the mobile devices, best-suited to handle the demands of a power mobile gamer and here is what I came up with:
