The Russian website "Palach" has compiled a list of the top five gaming smartphones that can be bought this year for $ 300.

The first place on the list is taken by the new Asus ROG Phone 9 gaming smartphone, priced at about $ 1,080. It has a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display and a built-in cooler for effective heat dissipation. The smartphone is distinguished by the presence of two USB connectors for charging, as well as a display located on the rear panel.

It is followed by the Nubia Red Magic 9S Pro, the price of which starts at about $ 684. The smartphone offers the latest generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship chip, a 6,500 mAh battery and an advanced cooling system. However, as experts note, there is a high probability that this model will not receive updates to the latest versions of Android.

The third place went to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. This is still the current flagship of the Korean brand, equipped with a large flat screen, functions based on artificial intelligence and a stylus. The improved version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is responsible for the performance of the smartphone, and it costs about $ 800. The top five also included the flagship iPhone 16 Pro Max with a powerful Apple A18 Pro chip and the Xiaomi Poco F6 on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which can be purchased for $ 1150 and $ 285, respectively.
