Minimum requirements for a gaming smartphone?

[Dracindo]

I've been thinking about buying a gaming smartphone, but I don't know what specifically look for. I know Ram is important, but how much should I least have? Is 8 good or should I go for 16? And is memory really important or can I leave it if RAM is more important? I know I can ditch the specs of the camera, because I'm not planning on playing games like Pokemon Go, and even if I do, I don't need to see the world crystal clear with it.

Can you guys give me a hand with this? Examples of good gaming smartphones are good too.

My brother is a hardcore gamer and plays many games which have high graphics like

• Injustice: Gods Among Us.
• DC Legends.
• Asphalt Xtreme: Offroad Racing.
• Half-Life 2.
• Rival Knights.
• Special Force - Online FPS.
• Modern Combat 5: Blackout.

So I gifted him One Plus 6T, which was available at S World Electronics Inc at a very discounted price, which has 8GB RAM and 128 GB storage and it has Adreno 630 Graphics which helps high graphics games to run smoothly.

It certainly looks like a good gaming smartphone, however, isn't it a little bit too pricey? In Europe I can buy one for €650, which is kind of alright, though. Also, while the title speaks of 8GB, when I scroll down the page of your first link, it says that the RAM is 6GB.

Even 6GB RAM is also great for playing games.

Well, for a PC, I'd say 8GB is the absolute minimum, but since we're speaking of smartphones, I could agree that 6GB is pretty good for a gaming smartphone.

Still, is it 6 or 8GB RAM? I want to know what I pay for.
