Best phones for cloud gaming

Notes

A 120Hz display makes the biggest visible difference in cloud gaming feel on a phone. Pairing any of these with a clip-on controller like the Backbone One or Razer Kishi V2 dramatically improves comfort for longer sessions. Cloud gaming also works on older or budget phones — all processing happens on the server, so the CPU is not a bottleneck. What limits an older phone is usually the screen refresh rate and Wi-Fi quality.
