🚀 We thank Tecno for providing the POVA 3 smartphone, thanks to which we were able to test all video games at maximum graphics settings.
There is an established myth among the army of gamers that there is nothing to play on smartphones: there are no interesting games on the mobile platform and the graphics are terribly weak. Fortunately, this is a real misconception, as there are actually a lot of really beautiful video games on Android smartphones – and some are so good that they can even leave console releases far behind. Don’t believe? I have at once ten strong proofs of this impudent statement.
Genshin Impact
At the moment, Genshin Impact is a real benchmark by which journalists from all over the world measure the performance of smartphones and tablets. All because of the incredible level of graphical detail – even the characters’ hair is drawn as if they were drawn frame by frame for an expensive cartoon. And it’s not worth talking about the effects during battles – it’s better to see once than read a hundred times. A huge open world, rich battles, exciting quests and interaction with other players allow you to enjoy the picture to the fullest. The best RPG on the mobile platform, without any doubt, that set a new bar for the entire market – and so far no one wants to reach this bar.

GRID Autosport
Gamers from all over the world are amazed at the picture in Forza Horizon 5, but they apparently just did not see what the authors of GRID Autosport managed to draw. If someone had said five years ago that such graphics in racing simulators would be on smartphones, then no one would have believed him. What can we say, even now it is difficult to get used to the idea that on the smartphone screen you can see a console-level picture – with advanced shadows and lighting, more than realistic weather conditions and overflows of colors on the body of a sports car. And let’s not even talk about car physics, tuning and racing tracks – not all PC races can boast of this. It remains only to learn how to enter turns …

Ark: Survival Evolved
At the end of 2017, the sandbox game Ark: Survival Evolved about survival in a world with dinosaurs came out on PC and literally terrified all modern video cards with its graphics – the picture was too beautiful and was ahead of the industry for many years. Well, shortly after that, the developers decided to demonstrate really cool graphics on smartphones by releasing a similar project on Android. A huge open world with different biomes, a sea of various dinosaurs and realistic graphics (just look at the water!) has allowed the mobile version to become a real benchmark of the genre – a real test for any smartphone.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades
The Elder Scrolls series games have always been a couple of steps ahead of the entire industry, opening the gates to the gamer in the world of stunning battles, a huge world and unprecedented beauty of the picture. This is exactly what the Blades developers were able to implement on smartphones – from the screen of a mobile gadget, the player looks at a large-scale journey with interesting characters and their stories, a sea of confrontations with the most diverse arsenal of melee weapons and places, from the view of which you even forget that you are playing on a smartphone, and not on a PC for a couple of thousand dollars.

PUBG Mobile
At one time, PUBG Mobile was a real test for smartphones, but not so much because of the graphics, but because of the terrible optimization. But that was a long time ago – now the royal battle has gone through a lot of updates, becoming one of the most beautiful on the Android platform. It is enough to turn the graphics to the maximum so that the trees strike with their foliage, it was even a pity to shoot the bushes in which the enemies are hiding, and the planes flying in the sky bring only joy and satisfaction. Just in the process of admiring the picture, do not forget that there is a battle going on!

- Important: To run such beautiful video games, you need to have a sufficiently powerful smartphone – not every device can handle such graphics. For example, the performance of Tecno POVA 3 is based on the MediaTek Helio G88 processor with eight processing cores and the Mali-G52 MC2 GPU – thanks to this, the gadget launches any game from this top without any problems. Actually, it was on it that all the titles were tested with a smooth frame rate and maximum graphics settings.
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Who said fighting games can’t impress with their visual style? Just look at the costumes of these superheroes – they didn’t even look so chic in films. Yes, the character designers in Injustice: Gods Among Us have worked hard to create truly realistic (as far as possible with the current level of technology) characters with smooth animations, understandable movement physics and a variety of costumes for every taste and color. You can fight with pleasure, use special techniques and improve your skills each time. Just right for fans of Wonder Woman, Batman and the army of villains from the DC Universe.

Sky: Children of the Light
When gamers say that smartphones don’t have pretty enough graphics like PCs or consoles, feel free to show them Sky: Children of the Light. The world of this story instantly attracts the eye, which will not be torn off until the very credits – an incredible journey through locations, from the mere sight of which the spirit stops, will leave an indelible impression on any person. And if you manage to feel all the emotions that the developers tried to convey in the storyline, then the myth of “weak” mobile games will be dispelled forever. Perhaps the game with the best story that needs to be imbued.

Pascal’s Wager
“Dark Souls will never be transferred to smartphones, the controls are too complicated,” fans from all over the world said with sadness in their eyes exactly until Pascal’s Wager came out. This game will make you learn enemy attack animations, press combinations with millisecond accuracy, wield a virtual sword like Geralt of Rivia, and along the way be amazed at how amazingly attractive the enemies, the world around and the main character look. The lighting and shadows are top notch, the textures are pixel-perfect, and the monsters are terrifying – what else do you need?

Grand Mountain Adventure
Impressive mountain ranges can be seen in the distance, and you are skiing at breakneck speed on the snowy surface, enjoying the adrenaline rush and new obstacles on the way – what could be better? But what if I say that for this you do not need to be able to stand on skis or fly somewhere in search of snow? Yes, thanks to modern graphics and level designers who managed to draw a very reliable virtual snow, you can get a lot of emotions from jumping through snowdrifts even while sitting on the couch. And most importantly, it’s safe and you don’t need to rent skis.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds
The Ni No Kuni franchise has long won its fans not only with a fascinating and emotional story, but also with a unique style of graphic design. The characters in the game look “flat”, hand-drawn, but in fact they are the same three-dimensional elements of an amazing fictional world, like trees, castles, mountains, fields, endless forests and hordes of enemies. It is rather difficult to explain how the game impresses with the visual component – you need to take it and see it with your own eyes. But be warned – it will be extremely difficult to break away. And in addition to graphics, there is a chic storyline, well-developed character stories, exciting battles and a marvelous role-playing world with its own laws.

Yes, this will require a powerful smartphone, but if you have one, you can get a whole ocean of positive emotions from what mobile games are capable of today.
