My goal is to buy a phone that will play games in the best way possible. Which is the best among the 3 models? Xiaomi 13T Pro Xiaomi 13 Samsung Galaxy S23 plus

I for one will not buy a mobile phone with gaming in mind… phone you should buy for practicality, maybe others here can shed some light here

Are you in China / another Xiaomi native market? Because if not, the Samsung is the better option by far.

The cheapest 13t pro in my country right now. Xiaomi 13 is the most expensive, the prices of S23 plus and 13t pro are close. My goal is only gaming performance

Xiaomi 13T has 12GB RAM while S23+ has 8GB, it makes quite a bit of difference

xiaomi 13t..

the chipsets also matter. if S23+ has more powerful cpu+gpu combo, then 8 vs 12 gb will make a difference only in multitasking, I don't believe anyday that games rn on droid consume like pc games, 8 gb is plenty for good enough current gaming experience, more than that is just apologize for higher price margin...

i can tell you just the same about tablet and about laptop, but now i've sold out my pc bcuz i've bought some mid-end "gaming" laptop (just because of price-performance combo) for studying, and I need it mobile, so I hate if things are laying around not used, and chosen the laptop bcuz anyway I was in thought of re-building the desktop lol

No idea where you get the idea that the S23+ has better CPU+GPU LMAO

The Xiaomi 13T Pro runs neck and neck vs S23 Ultra, which has bigger chipset cooling capacity than the S23+, plus the 12GB vs 8GB RAM.

I had the S22 Ultra with 8GB RAM (8gen1) and sometimes it just stall when switching between tasks, now i use the Fold4 and it is just so much better

FOLD series is "especially good" for gaming, lmfao
as i said - MULTITASKING, not gaming. same for pc, you can play still MOST of the games with 16 gb ram, but you will have to close your browser etc., lol

Get a Steam Deck OLED...

Buy a cheap phone and be done with it...

LMAO, so less RAM is better for gaming :roll:

?

Something tells me you don't own any of these phones LOL

Found a comparison on YT and the Xiaomi 13 Pro with S8 Gen2 8GB RAM is already better than S23 Ultra.

Now the Xiaomi 13T Pro has way better specs than the 13 Pro, anyone who think S23+ has better CPU+GPU than Xiaomi 13T Pro needs to get better informed

I read on the forums that it was said that the 13T Pro's camera fogs up and takes bad photos, I'm buying it for gaming, but the photography and camera shouldn't be too bad, that's all.

Well there is a fix by running stress test on the phone with the SIM tray removed in order to remove the excess moisture inside the phone.
I guess you can just play games and it would fix itself

Games run the smoothest on iOS devices (and typically also have better graphics), the reality is a lot of games on Android still run use OpenGL ES and run like ass no matter how good the chipset is. I have used a lot of high end Android phones in the past and games never quite run smoothly, there's a always a ton of stuttering, I am sorry to say this but iOS is miles ahead in this particular area.

Then I don't know. There are people who say they don't have any problems, but I don't want to have any problems. There are two options: Either Xiaomi 13 or S23 Plus. There are 3-4 games I play: Asphalt 9 MC5 COD Mobile and PUBG. I don't play Genshin Impact.

It is true, but IOS does not appeal to me and the prices of iPhone 14 and S23 plus, Xiaomi 13 are the same and do you think it makes sense to buy a 60 Hz and small screen phone?

Higher refresh rates are definitely better because most games use v-sync, makes stuttering and framerate drops more tolerable.

It depends on how cold where you live, when it's cold the moisture inside the lens will condense, no problem in warm climate or when the phone heats up.

Or you could just play games with the SIM tray out to remove all the moisture, no problem then
