Android Decent phone for gaming under $300?

[Deleted User]

I want an android phone that is not too expensive but can run games like fortnite, or PG3D, or PUBG at high framerates. Can someone recommend a phone like this? Thanks!

You could always look at the Pocophone F1. It has the same specs as the Pixel 3. Here's a link https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Pocophone-Factory-Unlocked-Smartphone/dp/B07GZ4QJTS

So I guess this is the same, but new? Is the memory an hdd, SSD or an SD card? How good is the battery life? Is it usb-c? Thanks!

It's basically an ssd, the battery life is good (mine lasts 2 - 3 days)and it's usb c.

poco is great, or mayb some old school oneplus5(t) phone (if you can find one for 300 and under that is!)
but yeah poco is actually the cheapest ,but im certain that there are more phones in the 300 and under price range!

but poco is a beast, i wish i didnt spend 600+ on my op6 and instead saved 300 and gotten a poco , but if you want to look for phones.

mayb youtube it! and also this reddit page 'pickandroidforme' https://www.reddit.com/r/PickAnAndroidForMe/comments/b1upox/best_android_for_300/

I read on amazon and says it is SD card

The internal storage(64Gb in this case) is nand flash like ssd and there is an sd card expansion slot to add more if needed

Thanks for the answer. I think this is why people say it is super fast

And how good are the cameras and the screen?

Seems like that phone has issues with certain providers depending on you location so this might help you https://www.cellmapper.net/map
I saw someone else comment something similar on the phone somewhere

The camera and screens are fine
I've just checked and it looks like you may have connectivity issues in Mexico

I got a Pocophone F1 and it's handsdown the best phone I have ever owned. It's missing Band 28 (LTE 700mhz) frequency, but I actually don't need it. You can check which bands the phone have on GsmArena, before making your decision.

Edit: If you are in Mexico, you are gonna miss the LTE 1700 band. Better check which band your carrier uses if you are thinking about buying this phone.

I would save up my money to buy a decent PC that can run games.
Not to mention, Android emulators exist.

I've been using the poco F1 for over a year now and it's really great, not disappointed. Great battery life, insane performances etc it really is great !

I have a Samsung Galaxy A70 specially for gaming and it's very good
- Wide display
- 6GB Ram
- Snapdragon 675
- 4500 mAh battery (last all day or half day with demanding games)

The bad side
- The audio sucks
- It's like $360
