At its launch in New York, theOnePlus10T 5G immediately struck me as being a killer phone for mobile gamers.

TheOnePlus 10Tis all about performance, which is what makes it so good for gaming. Whether you’re into first-person shooter games or you’re more into RPGs, it will be able to handle everything you could throw at it. That’s why this looks set to be one of thebest gaming phonesof the year, but it also gives you everything you really need from a flagship smartphone as well.

Here are the 3 reasons why I’d recommend this phone to anyone who is obsessed with mobile gaming.

1. The latest hardware powers it

Boasting serious speed, this phone is a powerful piece of kit. That’s partly down to its processor which is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and sits alongside a huge 16GB of RAM if you buy the pricier model.

The result is a mighty performance-focused phone that runs games effortlessly and loads apps quickly. Not only that but it responds instantly to each scroll, swipe and tap and it doesn’t lag either, but the really great thing is that thanks to a new cooling system, it doesn’t actually heat up too much when it’s hard at work.

2.  It features the Hyperboost Gaming Engine

OnePlus' Hyperboost Gaming Engine is a feature that will improve your whole mobile gaming experience - it’s made up of the General Performance Adapter (GPA) Frame Stabilizer, GPU Load Control (GLC) and LSTouch. But what exactly does that mean for you?

3.  You get a big battery life and fast charging

While it may not be the most obvious feature for gamers, long-lasting battery life and super fast charging mean you can spend less time worrying about your phone dying mid-gameplay and more time actually playing.

Thanks to a 4,800mAh battery you’ll get tonnes of gaming time here, I found that the phone easily lasted hours and hours of tapping and swiping. When you do finally run out, it’ll only take 20 minutes to go from flat to full. OnePlus told us that means you can get as much as 28% battery in as little as 3 minutes!
