When it comes to playing games on the go, most people have always considered that mobile phones play a poor second fiddle to dedicated mobile gaming devices. Though with the new Sony Xperia 5 Sony has created something of a game-changer. We take a look at the features that will be great for gamers.

Amazing Display

First of all, the display on this phone is really really good. It features a 21:9 aspect ratio CinemaWide display. This means that it is more television like in presentation. This is coupled with several technologies that have been borrowed from the Bravia television line. This includes true HDR support on the phone. This means that your games will look fantastic. The blacks will be blacker and the whites brighter. The phone also features an expanded colour gamut that means you can get the full DCI-P3 range of colours. This means that your games will be bright and colourful as you want.

Power behind It

When it comes to performance then Sony has used the latest SnapDragon 855 chipset. They have then added 6Gb of RAM to the phone. This means that it has the power to be able to run intense games and mobile content with no problems. Storage comes in at 128Gb as standard but there is the option for a MicroSD card of up to 1Tb to be added. Sound quality is high as well with full Dolby Atmos support. This means that the phone can deliver when it comes to gaming performance.

Dedicated Features

There are a few other tricks up Sony’s sleeve when it comes to gamers. The phone features a ‘Game Enhancer’ mode. This allows you to store all of your games in one place. It will also provide you with hints and tips whilst you are playing meaning that if you get stuck on that one boss help is never far away. Also new on this phone is the ability to capture and stream your games at 20fps. You can also synthesise your voice with the Game Enhancers voice changer feature. This means it has never been easier for you to share your pentakills with friends and family.

Some Great Extra Features

One other great thing for gamers with this being a Sony device is that it has in-built support for PlayStation 4 controllers. This means that you can simply pair the controller with your phone via Bluetooth and you are ready to go. This is a great boost for gamers and means that playing games like Fortnite or PUBG whilst out and about is easy.

 A Device that’s Perfect for Gaming

This phone has a lot to offer gamers. Not least that it is really good looking. The design is sleek and eye-catching, particularly in the red colour available. Your games and other content will look good on the device and having onboard controller support makes playing a breeze. This is certainly a handset that will appeal to gamers and is worth checking out.
