6 Tips for Choosing HP Gaming
Nowadays, the main goal of someone when they want to buy a smartphone is not only a matter of communication needs or to support business matters, but also to fulfill their passion for multimedia such as listening to music, watching video streaming services, and of course playing video games.
Speaking of video games, since the era of monochrome and symbian mobile phones is rampant, people have taken up hobbies on this one. Space Impact, Bounce, and Snake are three of a handful of games that have been installed directly on those old phones that are often the favorite games for old-time cellphone users.
This hobby develops with the evolution of increasingly smart and sophisticated mobile phones. The elimination of physical buttons in order to accommodate a more relieved screen and a significant increase in the chipset and graphics sector is a factor that will determine the direction of the development of this hobby.

| 6 Tips for Choosing HP Gaming |
If in the previous smartphone era you only knew simple games like Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja, the series of games that were milling about in the smartphone application market today were far more qualified and the genre was even more diverse. In fact, not infrequently you will find a game that has a quality gameplay and graphics of a caliber of PC or console games.
This revolutionary development can apparently end in a dilemma for some people. Because, until now there are still many prospective users who are hesitant or hesitant when they want to buy a cellphone for gaming. Especially when determining the chipset candidate and other supporting aspects such as the amount of RAM and battery capacity. In this article we try to give some tips when choosing a cellphone for gaming.
1. Prioritize the most "fierce" chipset and GPU
Chipset aka System on Chip is clearly the most crucial first consideration if you place gaming as the main requirement in the priority of your smartphone usage. In this small module all computing data is processed and processed. Chipset is the most important component that will determine whether or not you are comfortable playing games on the HP.
For the smartphone segment, in general we know Qualcomm and MediaTek as two giant manufacturers that monopolize the circulation of chipsets. In fact, if judging further, you will also definitely know Exynos made by Samsung, Kirin which is assembled and developed by HUAWEI, as well as Apple's exclusive series "Ax" created for their mobile devices.
Then, which chipset is ideal for you? The answer can be varied and very subjective. It's all a matter of your needs and budget. Ask yourself, what kind of game do you want to play on your cellphone?
Suppose you are just a casual gamer who plays games limited to "killing time" only, Snapdragon 4xx series such as Snapdragon 425 to Snapdragon 450 or MediaTek MT6750 or MT6752 is more than enough for you to play light games like Temple Run or Clash of Clan, for example.
2. Don't just measure it, also understand the type of RAM available
The greater the capacity of RAM the more roomy the information that can be stored in it so that it produces smoother performance. This assumption is true, but not entirely correct. Because, in addition to capacity, RAM speed you also need to pay attention.
Technically the RAM used on a smartphone is DRAM which is short for Dynamic Random Access Memory. As its development, this type of RAM then received further modification and changed its name to LPDDR which was designed as a power saving RAM for smartphones. No need to worry, because the latest smartphone output on average has used LPDDR4 or at least LPDDR3 RAM.
3. Screen and resolution for the sake of visual pampering eyes
The wide screen of the cellphone allows you to access virtual keys more freely. Especially with the popularity of the MOBA and Battle Royale genre games which have a series of important buttons such as to launch a move or use an item. The trend of full screen that has been adopted today is a blessing in itself. In our opinion, you should choose a smartphone with a minimum 5.5-inch screen area.
Turning to the matter of resolution. Screen area is important, but it will be useless if the resolution that is carried is still HD. Not that the HD resolution screen is less qualified, but it is good that your smartphone of choice has at least a full HD resolution or better QHD. So that the details and visuals of the game you play can be presented more optimally. You are not willing not if you have to lose a game due to trivial mistakes such as missing observing an object that looks less clear because of the pixel lined up that is not tight?
4. Batteries are a breath of life gaming on smartphones
The batteries used on smartphones today are on average Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) and Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po) types. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Even so, you don't need to bother thinking about it. Because basically when discussing the battery, the most important thing is the capacity and availability of fast charging technology.
Currently many middle and lower-class smartphones are equipped with large batteries, whose capacity even defeats flagship smartphones. Take for example the latest mobile phones from ASUS, ZenFone Max Pro (M1) ZB602KL which has a 5,000 mAh battery life. With the official price starting from Rp.2, 3 million, the size of the battery is far from leaving the Galaxy S9 which only relies on a 3,000 mAh battery. Though the price of the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro (M1) ZB602KL can be four to five times more affordable than the Samsung-made phone.
5. Capacity of internal storage media
Make no mistake, though trivial but this factor is also something you should think about carefully. Cool games nowadays not only require extreme data and graphic processing but also usually present in a very large application package. In fact, not a few who have exceeded the 1GB number. Mortal Kombat X caliber games, Dungeon Hunter 4, Pro Evolution Soccer, and Injustice 2 are some examples.
There are still many mobile phones that do not allow you to save application data to external memory. Unless you do the rooting process. So you have to get around the limited internal space provided. If the smartphone is 128GB or 64GB in size, that's no problem. But what happens if the ROM capacity is only 32GB? The minimum size must even be trimmed by system data and other non-game applications.
6. Find out if there are supporting peripherals from the smartphone manufacturer
A smartphone, especially one with a flagship status, is usually released along with a series of accessories and supporting peripherals. For gaming needs, the most important peripherals are gamepad. Until now most people still agree that the best gaming experience can only be obtained if you play a game through physical controls instead of virtual buttons. No exception gaming on smartphones.
When pulled far back, there is the Sony Xperia Play which has a gamepad integrated directly on the smartphone. An innovative step that is unfortunately no longer taken by Sony.
One of the other smartphones that has the best peripherals for gaming needs is the Moto Z with an external gamepad called Moto Gamepad. This peripheral also has its own battery so that it functions as an additional mini power bank when used to play games. Latest, BLACK SHARK Gaming Phone, HP gaming with financial support from Xiaomi, also follows Motorola's adaptive steps by releasing a mini gamepad that is sold separately.
