Not a "flagship gaming experience"

Ah, I wouldn't be so proud of ignorance. Mobile gaming is nothing to scoff at. It rivals that of consoles and PC from a financial POV. Last I checked it was ~40% of all gaming revenue - should approach 50% by 2019/20.

So there's a reason Tencent, EA, Gameloft, and various gacha devs love mobile...

To me, it comes as no surprise that people want to play games on the F1. Most people have phones, but not everyone has time to play in front of a TV or monitor.

PSP,Nitendo GB Color, Advanced, etc have the same form factor as a mobile phone and were a lot famous during their time. If you really think phone is not for gaming, you are so naive.
Developers are shifting on to Android, not for fun but they are earning from it and their profit tells us how many people play game on phones.
Just like Consoles and PC's have their own advantage (although PC has more) similarly phones have some advantage too.

-The most important point being portability when you are on the move. You will say that gaming laptops have an advantage then do tell me for how much time can you run games on a laptop before reaching for charger and can your laptop be charged for like 4-5 times with a powerbank?

-Android is a more free market for games, remember how tellatale changed the story? (bad that it's now closed)
-PUBG did the same thing, it brought a whole new genre to handheld device.
-We are bound to get a lot of new games once the developers like Nitendo comes onboard (properly) maybe it will crash the market of handheld consoles or atleast will make the developers decrease the cost of handheld consoles.
Buys a phone designed for pure hardware prowess while cheaps out on all the rest features then wonders why ppl buy it. I know I shouldn't say it but you don't seem like a smart guy.

A meme would have described my feeling better the laugh I had reading this comment.
I thought the same, until Bethesda announced Elder Scrolls Blades. Townsmen is pretty good too, if you like strategy games (doesn't need high specs though).

There's also great emulation potential, if you get a gamepad (iPega for example).
I'm not talking about how much companies earn, i'm saying is it really fun playing games on phones? That's my real reason. It's fine i get that you have portability but then it's better to play some casual games which are nicely desgined to play with a touchscreen (6"). Now take this PUBG, for example, it was so tedious to play even a single match because of the clunky controls and i don't blame the developers they have done the best they can but it's hardware limitation. I you have a good pc to run PUBG(again) why would you bother even installing it on your phone? According to me, people who don't have good pcs or usually college guys who have a lot of extra time to spend (not those who study :silly:) uses phones to play games. There are lot of more but i think those who wan't to understand will get my pont by this much only :D
PS: I'm not saying you guys are wrong or right, but that's my opinion on this matter and feel a lot of gamers(actual) will agree with me. Again you have your own beliefs.

Benchmarks are NOT the proper way of determining gaming capabilities.
Yes, the OP6 performs better but that's because it has no bloatware installed on it. It has almost stock android with some fine-tuning. MIUI is filled with crappy add-ons that do almost nothing good to device performance. I haven't checked the global 10 beta. Maybe it's better than the 9 or maybe not. If you want to have the top notch performance, just flash a custom ROM with a custom kernel but that too needs waiting as I'm not seeing great development here for our F1. So all we can do now is wait.
So true.... MIUI10 has still got the same bloatware. I saw a mention to kingsoft somewhere in pre-installed apps. That gives me the willies.

Can someone start a thread on lineageos. I'm checking it out from github now.

You don't only play games on phones noob.


I'm all for To each his own but dude, you have it completely backwards. Sensed a kinda Ignorance or naivety in your post. I have a PC capable of running PUBG but I play on mobile more often BECAUSE I'm not in college anymore and I don't have that much extra time. Simple. Beliefs are beliefs, Common sense is common sense.

Most likely you were not even born since I am playing PC games that's that but it still doesn't show smartness on your part to buy a top of the self hardware compromising on rest of the phone for not using it for what it is intended.

As for the relevant part of the topic, I would like to mention 'Marvel future fight' in specific which I have left playing now but for 3+ years that I did I had loads of fun and made many friends online via the game. The game still has huge user base all round the world.

What do you do now? And what is the reason you don't play it on pc ?

Syberia + Malakas r169 Display OC + Dark GPU Mod and latest 9.4.18 vendor. :cowboy:
Phone is 6/64gb version.
Holy ****! But I'm not willing to do all those kernel and tweaks. I want the stock performance of any ROM

Nice necro post.

PM the dude if you want his specific answer, if he is even still here. This thread is 7 months old.

Would be probably faster to just flash ROMs yourself and test.
Why do I need to PM? Why don't you just tell me which rom gave you the best 3DMark score?

those are benchmarks though. you have to use both devices or ask someone who already has them about how they perform if you actually want to compare the "flagship gaming experience" feeling of using them. benchmarks are just numbers and wont give any score on actual real life usage, especially on devices with the same chipset.

EDIT:
To be fair, I have to point out that I experience more hiccups on my F1 on MIUI 9 stable compared with my older Mi 5s on MIUI on latest beta. F1 is definitely better on the FPS department on gaming (very noticeably better) than my 5s, but hiccups or lagging while playing on long sessions on F1 is quite disturbing for me. The F1 definitely needs more stability updates.

*Games I'm referring to are Naruto Blazing, PUBG, and Mobile Legends.
Have you tried using EU rom or the betas, they're mich better than stable rom
