Kuala Lumpur, 7 May 2021 – Most smartphones are capable of playing games, but any seasoned gamer would admit that there are key features and specific requirements that they look out for when picking a smartphone in order to optimise their gaming experience and performance.

Modern gamers typically prioritize having a large responsive screen that captures all the action and ensures accurate input of gaming commands, a high-performance chipset for optimal graphics processing and no lag, along with a high battery capacity to ensure minimal downtime during your gaming sessions.

With the recent launch of vivo’s new professional photography flagship, the vivo X60 series, avid gamers now have the perfect gaming experience, featuring the flagship octa-core Snapdragon 870 chipset, a 240hz screen response rate and a 4300 mAh high capacity battery with exceptional power consumption that would elevate their gaming experience to an epic level. 

Here’s a detailed look at just what makes the vivo X60 series the ultimate gaming smartphone:

1. Chipset/ Processor

At the core of a phone’s performance is its chipset and graphics processor. With the advent of modern mobile games such as PUBG mobile, Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin Impact, which packs most, if not all, of the functionality of full-fledged PC games into a mobile form factor, it is crucial that smartphones are also equipped with cutting-edge powerful chipsets and GPUs (Graphics Processor Units) in order to provide a consistent and uncompromising gaming experience.

The new vivo X60 series is powered by the 7nm Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 870 chipset featuring the Adreno 650 GPU to offer exemplary performance that is capable of handling any graphic intensive games smoothly at max settings for unrivalled gameplay.

2. Responsive screen with High Refresh Rate

All the processing power in the world would be for naught, if there wasn’t a fantastic screen for gamers to interface with their chosen games and apps. With the vivo X60 series, gamers are in for a visual and tactile treat, with a brilliant 6.56” screen² with a 120Hzscreen refresh rate (double that of conventional phones) and 240 hz screen response rate to ensure that you not only see more and faster but are also able to react more swiftly than your gaming opponents. This is especially important for first-person shooter or battle royale games such as PUBG mobile and Call of Duty mobile games that are fast-paced and require exceptionally precise and immediate actions.

3. Battery 

The final component that gamers often look for is battery life, as no hardcore gamer would want to constantly have to plug in their smartphone during their gaming session. As a general rule, the larger the story capacity rating (mAh) of a battery, the longer your smartphone should be able to last. The vivo X60 series has the winning combination of not just having a sizeable 4300 mAh battery, but also optimised power consumption with its modern chipset to ensure that in a tightly-contested gaming match, you’d still be able to outlast your opponent every time!
