What 2013 smartphone is best for gaming?

For many people who use their smartphone primarily to play casino, role-playing, adventure or other types of games, the iPhone continues to be the smartphone gaming jackpot. Try an iphone casino here. However to a large extent this is due to the fact that Apple’s App Store still leads the Google Play Store when it comes to range and choice of games. However the Play Store is closing the gap (and the likes of mobile casino sites usually produce slots, poker and roulette games compatible with both operating systems). So have there been any Android smartphones released in 2013 that can compete with the iPhone 5S when it comes to gaming?

Well the Xolo Play T1000, which uses the Android Jelly Bean 4.2 OS is one smartphone that does seem like it can challenge Apple in gaming terms. For one thing it boasts the Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, which is regarded by many as the most games-friendly processor around. Of course the 5S is no slouch in this respect either with a 1.3 GHz processor – although surprisingly it is only dual-core rather than quad-core. Thus the Xolo probably wins out in this area, and there are also other ways in which this Android phone arguably offers better gaming than the 5S.

For example the Xolo screen measures 4.7 inches in comparison with the 4 inches offered with the iPhone 5S which, at a time when RPGs, strategy, adventure and casino games are all providing greater levels of visual detail, is a big difference. However the lightweight quality of the 5S, at just 112 grams, makes it the easier to hold when you are playing games like poker that can last for long periods, although the rubber rear panel on the Xolo Play T1000 does provide better grip – which helps compensate for the 167-gram weight of the phone. Overall the Xolo Play may be best suited to gaming, although using the 5S does still have the App Store in its favour.
