Review Of iPhone X For gaming- Professional Tests Conducted On iPhone X Gaming Capability
iPhone X has an endurance battery rating of 74 hours, but gaming heavily should last for more than 5 hours. The lesser the gaming components and sizes, the longer the battery time.
From expert tests conducted, it seems iPhone X is better used for portrait games than landscape games. Tilting the gaming mode to the landscape mode seems to give beginner gamers slight issues, unlike the regular gamers that are used to switching between portrait and landscape modes frequently.
Regular games like Super Mario Run, Beat Street, and Pktball run very smoothly on iPhone X even when the battery is at the lowest 25%. These games seem to be a great threat to the phone’s stretched-out screen. The games are vibrant and remain vividly sharp from the beginning to the end. Unfortunately, the more massive games tend to consume battery juice faster. You may run light to medium-size games for a couple of hours even with 25%% of battery juice available, but for heavier games, your battery juice may not last for 30 minutes on iPhone X.
Conclusion
Playing games on the portrait mode on iPhone X seems to be much better than the landscape mode; you will get the whole picture with no distractions. What makes the iPhone X a great smartphone for gaming is that every single game in the Apple IOS store was optimized for it. The unique aspect ratio seems to support all gaming formats, and so also are the graphics and the processor. Keep in mind each game has its requirements as regards RAM size and memory. You may have to increase the external memory to get some games downloaded and launched on the phone. It would be best if you also read reviews for each game in the IOS store before you download them; many of such games come with bugs.
