Posted by The mobile gaming Industry is one of the rapidly rising industries in recent times. I use the word rapidly because the timeline of rising in mobile gaming is just more than 12 years.
In this short period, mobile gaming has had an adventurous journey from pixelated graphics to HD graphics. More clearly, it comes from Snake to PUBG mobile.
You can explore the extreme gaming experience with your high specs smartphones whether it is an iPhone or an Android phone.
Wait, I have written the name of both OS. With this line, I have raised the universal question: Which Platform is better for Mobile Gaming? Is this Android or is it iOS?
Okay, let’s see who wins the battle.
Gaming in iPhone or Android Phones: Who Wins the Battle
Maybe there are so many mobile phone brands available. Maybe they use so many platforms.
But iOs and Android are the market kings. These two Operating Systems capture a 95% share of the Mobile OS market.
These two platforms’ users are always in a competitive mode. So, there is no doubt about the intentions of both users. They claim their used OS supremacy in every feature including gaming.
But there is not a single winner in the game. In gaming, both of the OS are walking side by side.
Because both share some gaming features that you like.
On the other hand, there are also some downsides to both OS
Actually, there are some parameters that determine the performance level in both systems. Let’s see those parameters.
• Performance Measurement
• Game Availability on Store
• Storage & Battery Backup
• Price Comparison
Performance Measurement
The gaming performance of a phone doesn’t depend on a single aspect. Actually, it’s a combination of CPU, GPU, RAM, and OS. If all the elements can give an absolute data transfer rate to run the game super smoothly.

Actually, flagships have these kinds of top-tier components. So we definitely compare the flagships from Android with the latest iPhone. Because Apple only produces flagship phones.
Apple’s latest iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max contain Apple’s latest flagship A series CPU and GPU. (The super powerful A16 bionic (4nm) chipset used in the iPhone 14 pro series.)
This A16 chipset is far better than the previous versions of Apple chipsets. Apple raised the performance level with this chipset to an unbelievable height and made it the market leader.
Benchmark of performance shows the fact statistically. Here is the Performance rate of iPhone 14 Pro Max in Antutu Benchmark.
The score is 950878. This amazing and extraordinary score proves the truth. You can play whatever you want on an iPhone.
Now, it’s time to measure the Android phone’s performance. But here comes a fact, unless iPhone Android manufacturers not only build flagship category phones.
There are so many categories of phone with Android OS. Start with the entry level and end up with the flagship level. Even the mid-level Android phones sometimes blow your mind with extraordinary gaming performance.
Moreover, Android has some dedicated gaming phones though and they are mastered for gaming with an ultra-level performance.
Naturally, the gaming phone is always a step ahead from the iPhone in gaming performance. So there is also a typical flagship under our Radar.
I pick the Asus ROG Phone 6D Ultimate and the latest typical flagship Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G. Both scores were surprisingly good and astonished me with the result.
Here are the Antutu Benchmark Score:
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G: 998367
• Asus ROG Phone 6D Ultimate: 1133998

Both the Flagships surpass iPhone’s score. Apart from the gaming phones, the margin between iPhone and Typical Android flagship is very low.
Though Android gets the higher rating points, that doesn’t reflect very much on gaming. Actually you can play every game pretty smoothly with both kinds of flagships.
The problem comes, when you try to play high-end games in mid or entry level Androids. Sometimes you have to face some lags while gaming.
But some mid-level phones also astonish you with their performance level. You become speechless when you see the configuration of those phones and the Antutu Benchmark score.
I found some awesome mid-range smartphones, capable of giving the ultimate gaming experience.
Here is the list of those phones with their overall Antutu benchmark scores:
Name Antutu Benchmark Score (Overall)
One 9 Pro 806,964
Xiaomi Redmi K50i 800,596
Galaxy A73 5G 530,293
Realme 9 Pro Plus 505,838
Samsung Galaxy M53 5G 441,219
The score shows the performance capability of these phones. You can play high-end games smoothly on these mid-range phones.
Game Availability on Store
There are some games that release sooner on iOS Platform than Android. The credit goes to the number of iOS versions. Because it’s easy for the developer to create a game for a lesser number of OS versions.
That gives the iPhone users an advantage. On many occasions, they get the opportunity to play some games before Android users. Sometimes more than a couple of months ago.
Let’s focus on the other side of the coin, there are too many different versions of Android with many UI included.
In statistics, Android has more than 18000 firms to develop a game. So, in general, it takes a long time to develop a game for every Android version.
Financial opportunity is another reason. Let me explain it. The target customer of Apple is always the elite class of people.
Apple has so many ‘In-App Purchase” services. Games make no difference. So iPhone users have to spend money on ‘in-game purchases’ and other paid services than Android users.
Maybe this could be a reason that put impacts on the developers to develop games for the app store first.
Storage & Battery Backup
Storage and Battery Health play a very crucial part in mobile gaming. Even so, most of the forums are full of storage & battery health issues related questions.
Definitely, a high end game needs massive storage to install and update. Many games need 4-5 GB of storage for install only and later on they get regular updates and exceed their ordinary size and claim so much more storage.
The manufacturers realize the issue and fix it. Nowadays phones contain a huge amount of built in space. So, phones storage won’t an issue
You can find a 1TB storage variant of storage in every flagship out there. Whether it’s an iPhone or a Flagship Android.
So, without any doubt or shortcomings, every game runs so smoothly on both Android and iOS, whether it’s a normal game or a huge-sized high-end game.
When it comes to battery backups, Android slightly gets some advantages if we talk only about Dedicated Gaming Phones.
Apart from the gaming phones from Android, both iPhone and top-tier Android flagships pack with an optimized battery with a great backup.
Another advantage is the charging system. Thanks to the manufacturers, every phone comes with a fast charging system. Fast charging helps the phone to charge fully within moments.
Though the comparison is between the flagships, nowadays entry and mid-level Androids also come with better battery life.
Price
The last parameter of this comparison. If we compare the flagship, both iPhone and Android remain in the same place. Both are expensive in price.
You may pay almost equal amounts of money for these flagships. Whether it’s an iPhone or a top flagship from Android.
But Android always remains a step ahead from Apple with its mid budget segment called flagship killers.
These mid-level Androids also served better gaming. It happens for their flagship features. It’s a marketing strategy of Android manufacturers to put flagship features in a mid-level phone. The users get the advantages from this.
You can play HD games like PUBG, Fortnite, COD mobile in these mid-level flagships featured phones. I guarantee you won’t find any major shortcomings.
Do We Get Any Solid Answer?
After reading all the parameters, you actually can imagine the result. I bet, our thinking is the same about the result. The result is no one gets the trophy and it’s a tie between both platforms. Actually, there is no visible chance to create an argument on this topic.
Here comes the reason. We all know that both iPhone and flagship Androids give you almost the same gaming experience.
Both platforms share some advantages in gaming and both have some disadvantages also.
If you look at the game availability, iPhone users get a full advantage. Because some games are released early in the iOS.
But when it comes to budget, Android is a clear winner. You can play high-end games in a mid-budget Android phone.
Actually, it depends on the user’s perspective and comfort. Some extreme-level gamers only feel comfortable with dedicated gaming phones.
You can’t satisfy them either with the iPhone or a top-tier flagship from Android. iPhone users also express their satisfaction with playing games smoothly on their iPhones. In some users’ povs, they get the best gaming experience from a typical Android flagship.
Final Thoughts
Okay, let’s finish the thing, I think there are so many advantages to playing games on both OS. As well as, you can’t forbid the drawbacks also. Both share some cons also.
When you read all the parameters that measure the performance, you will understand the facts.
After reading the full post thoroughly, I hope our opinion will be the same.
Because the Benchmark score and the other parameters of both platforms show that it’s tough to get one winner.
Nothing more than that. So, today I wrap it up and hope we will meet up with another article.
