Smartphones have revolutionised the way we communicate since Apple released the first iPhone in 2007.
And among the myriad of other innovations touchscreen cellphones introduced was the ability to play games on the go.
The tech has rapidly improved ever since, increasingly blurring the boundary between mobile gaming and traditional consoles.
Tom Peet, Manager of tech restorers Repair Outlet, believes the gaming performance of smartphones has sometimes been under-appreciated.
He told Newsweek: “From Call of Duty to Crossy Road, mobile games are an incredibly accessible entertainment source with enough gaming diversity to amuse and challenge everyone from hobbyists to experts.
“The performance specifications of modern smartphones mean they’re able to act as powerful handheld consoles, and subsequently should be given more credit as respectable gaming devices.
