Picking out a gaming phone is different from choosing a regular phone. Aside from a powerful chipset, there are other things to look out for when buying a gaming phone. You'll likely also want a great display to enjoy a game's graphics at their best, a high refresh rate display to keep things smooth, a lengthy battery life or even unique features like trigger buttons or a fan for extra cooling.
