That's why the Galaxy S20 series is perfect for mobile gaming

Samsung has presented three top models at once:

  • Samsung Galaxy S20 (!)
  • Samsung Galaxy S20 ()
  • Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra ()

They mainly differ in the camera lenses, the display size, the installed RAM and the size of the battery. All information about the three smartphones can be found in our big info guide about the Galaxy S20 series.

However, they do not differ in one aspect: Samsung's latest in-house processor, the Exynos 990 with its eight cores, powers the series. With this processor, even the latest and most complex mobile games are no problem.

And even though the displays are different sizes, the technology behind them is the same in all three models. A dynamic Super AMOLED screen (3,200 x 1,440 pixels) with a refresh rate of 120Hz, which makes for incredibly smooth gameplay.

Call of Duty: Mobile

  • Platform: Android, iOS
  • Genre: First-person shooter
  • Game modes: multiplayer, battle royale, zombie mode
  • Suitable for: Fans of fast-paced multiplayer shooters

With Call of Duty: Mobile, the famous shooter series also makes the leap to smartphones, and without losing the popular gameplay of its big brothers. You can even connect PlayStation or Xbox controllers to the smartphone via Bluetooth to bypass the touch controls.

The game itself is more or less a best-of of the previous Call of Duty games. The map selection includes fan favorites like Nuketown from Call of Duty: Black Ops or Crash from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The Battle Royale mode from Black Ops 4 has also made it into the mobile version.

However, Call of Duty: Mobile does not offer a single-player campaign, but there is a cooperative zombie mode for up to four players. Our tips and tricks for Call of Duty: Mobile will help you win your first rounds in the mobile shooter.

Stardew Valley

  • Platform: Android, iOS, PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC

To build your farm, you'll buy plant seeds from the local merchant and then grow them on your farm. Be sure to grow the right plants at the right time, though, because the game simulates all four seasons. Even animals will populate your farm at some point.

Insider Tip: Hide and Seek Game from Mama

  • Platform: Android, iOS
  • Genre: Puzzle game
  • Game modes: Singelplayer
  • Suitable for: Fans of absurd puzzle games

Admittedly, Hide and Seek Game of Mama looks like a pretty cheaply cobbled together mobile game at first glance. However, behind the simple look hides an incredibly absurd and entertaining puzzle game.

Your mother catches you playing with your handheld console, which looks a lot like the Nintendo DS, and hides it in the apartment. Your task now is to find the game console day by day.

The puzzles are pretty stupid and usually leave you grinning broadly as soon as you have found the absurd solution. Sometimes you have to fry a shell so that it opens and reveals the game console, or feed an elephant in the middle of the house until it excretes your Nintendo DS.
