Conclusion

This test gives us a lot of information about gaming on various devices. From entry-level to flagship, we now have an idea of how much gaming can you do on your phone. If we start from budget phones first, this space is dominated by Mediatek which outperforms the remaining SoCs in this segment. The competition between Helio G95 and Snapdragon 732G is insane. Both chipsets offer the best experience in this budget. However, for gaming, the Mediatek’s Helio G95 outperforms the Snapdragon 732G.

Not surprisingly, we got a clear winner in the mid-range segments, thanks to the powerful Snapdragon 860 in POCO X3 Pro. Both the SoCs, Snapdragon 870 and 888 do a great job in handling gaming duties. However, the Snapdragon 888 heats up after prolonged gaming.
