Phones for Mobile Games

- Tuesday, October 28 2008

Mobile games are meant to be entertaining. Games like Hi 5 and the upcoming mobile game, Rainbow Riches, are colourful and fast-paced. To truly get the best experience of playing these mobile games, you'll need to have a phone that allows you to see the game in the best possible way.

While the outcome of mobile games is always the same regardless of the handset you play on, the different specifications - like memory and processing power - of mobile phones can have an effect. This might be seen in the quality of the sound you hear when playing mobile games, for example.

With mobile games, one important aspect is phone usability - it's no good being able to look at all the pretty colours of your mobile game if you're having trouble pressing the keys and making your bets. If you're looking for the best phone to play your mobile games on, you need to carefully choose the right mobile phone.

Well-suited to colourful mobile games, the LG KE970 has a great screen. At 2.3 inches, it allows you to take in all the detail and its presentation of mobile games, even the most colourful ones, is superb.

On the subject of colour, you will find that top mobile phones are capable of displaying 24-bit colour, whereas older, lower specification models can only handle 8-bit. This affects how the game looks on screen.

The Nokia N95 boasts an impressive 2.6 inches of screen size - just under an inch smaller than the iPhone. In regards to usability, the N95 - as is the case with most slide-down phones - has relatively small buttons and in the heat of a mobile game, you could easily press the wrong key. You don't want to miss out, whatever the mobile game, just because of a finger-prodding mistake.

The phones we've mentioned here are just examples. Other handsets suitable for mobile games are available. For the best mobile gaming, look for:

  • Large screen and buttons
  • High resolution
  • Good memory and processing power

And remember, always play responsibly (and that doesn't just mean by looking where you're going).
