Reasons Why The New iPhone XS Are The Best Choice For Old And New Mobile Gamers

Apple has just recently announced their newest iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max at last week's event. While most of the features that were mentioned in the presentation have been around for a while now, iPhone still offers one of the best capability in terms of processing for running apps and games.

Storage size - Oneplus 6 = 256GB, $629 vs $899 for the cheapest iPhone with 256GB storage.

Louder speaker - Regardless of whether you only care about loudness, or if you want quality also, the Sony Xperia XZ2 & XZ2 Premium currently lead on both aspects. Also unless you are playing for an audience, headphones should be the preference. If you do use headphones, nothing comes close to the LG V30.

CPU / Performance - Oneplus 6. Despite being the lowest priced high end smartphone currently on the market, even the base 6GB ram model is faster than anything else, iPhones included. The near stock version of Android, with no BS bloatware running in the background, makes a massive difference to performance. The 8GB version is even faster. The Oneplus 6 and 6T are also getting the Android 9 update, which will likely improve performance even further.

My personal recommendation would be to get the LG V30 (or wait for the V40), then root it and install Lineage OS. Get a 256GB Sandisk MicroSD on Amazon for $65, tinyurl.com/y8qacth5. Could even get the 400GB version for $140 and it would still be cheaper overall vs either of the 512GB iPhones, and 2 of the 3 256GB versions. Assuming you are not the type that upgrades their phone every year, this will also give you the freedom to upgrade to larger memory cards as they become cheaply available. Use headphones and you have the best, or atleast equal to the best, of nearly everything that really matters.

Not on the US store right now which sucks

andy859h ago

Im definitely going to import it if possible. Hopefully PlayAsia will have it

jznrpg8h ago(Edited 7h ago)

@andy85 so you can get it from PlayAsia no Tarrifs but shipping is 23$ at least ,but it is an option. A little less than 50$ with shipping. I had to have it

andy857h ago

Coming out at £44 ($60) here. Jeez as much as I want it that's a little bit of a stupid price. Managed to find it for £35 elsewhere. Still crazy for a mug. Might wait and see if the square Enix store get it

SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader In Fortnite

SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader in Fortnite claiming this was done without notification and has filed accordingly.

spoonard21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

It's just a complaint, not a lawsuit, and it's completely unwarranted.

Garethvk20h ago

I said filed which they did. Filed a complaint.

VersusDMC19h ago

James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it.

So i don't know why SAG is getting involved as it makes it seem like they are going against james earl jones wishes or just wanted a cut...

Garethvk18h ago

They are concerned about A.I. replacing live talent. It's an unusual stance as you are correct; he left his voice and his family approved. The union is saying doing this versus using a live actor sets a bad precedent going forward. The use of A.I. has been a huge issue in the recent labor deals.

VersusDMC14h ago

Well this is also an interactive AI Darth Vader that would have made live talent impossible unless they think a actor being in Fortnight 24/7 is an acceptable solution.

They should concentrate on cases that are possible to be done with live talent and that haven't been given blessing or sold by the original actor(for which they should have the right to sell)

"James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it."

I have to say if James approved this after his death... that would be... um...

Do you mean he approved it while he was alive for when he passed?

VersusDMC10h ago

It's reported that he gave permission before his death and his estate(which i asume is his family) says so as well.

spoonard4h ago

Because SAG-AFTRA are trade unions. They are the Hollywood mafia protecting their profits from anything they feel could undermine them. It's all about the almighty dollar, not artists.
