Selecting the best 2013 smartphone for gaming comes down to a two horse race. The contestants are the iPhone 5 S and the Samsung Galaxy S4. In our opinion there are no other smartphones on the market that come close.
In terms of online Poker games or betting apps such as Bwin Sport there is very little difference. You might prefer checking the odds on the larger five inch screen on the Galaxy rather than the four inch screen on the iPhone, but then the iPhone screen is a little better in bright sunlight. However when it comes to fast paced multiplayer games like Poker the Samsung Galaxy S4 is better primarily because, with its 1.9 GHz four core microprocessor, it runs faster than the twin core processor of the iPhone. This means that big multiplayer games run much more smoothly on the galaxy than they do on the iPhone 5 S.
There are other things that the iPhone 5S can’t do that the Galaxy S4 can. For instance on the Galaxy you can run two apps simultaneously on the same screen. The Galaxy knows when you are looking at it and doesn’t dim while you are (the iPhone can dim at that critical moment). In particular the Galaxy has ‘Group Play’ which is an app that lets you play games with other Galaxy phones over Wi-Fi. On the iPhone you can only exchange basic information and photos.
Another important feature is that you can carry a spare battery for the Galaxy, but you can’t swap batteries on the iPhone, which can be annoying when you are getting short of power during a critical game tournament of online poker. Undoubtedly the iPhone 5S in an excellent smartphone, and a great one for gaming, but the Samsung Galaxy S4 is even better
