About

Where tech gets a more inclusive edit. Basil here, a tech journalist of 15+ years. This is where I'm combining my experience in tech with my inclusive values and, hopefully, a lot of fun. That means tech reviews, camera comparisons, first looks and more, but expect a space where pride is celebrated, where conversations you may not expect to have on other tech channels are had, and where silly is encouraged. It's visibility, not rocket science, so I'll stop explaining, but if you want to start a conversation, whether you agree or don't, drop me a comment :)

Video Description

What's the best phone for Genshin Impact gaming? I test 22 of the best phones of 2024 for traversing Teyvat across gaming phones like the ROG Phone 8, flagships including the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the OnePlus Open and other foldables, as well as small flagships like the Xiaomi 14 and budget phones including the Poco X6 Pro. With benchmarks and real-world tests, by the end of this video, you'll know which phones you should avoid if you're a Genshin fan, and the top three picks of the whole group test. 00:00 – Intro 01:00 – What is Genshin? 01:50 – How I tested 02:20 – Gaming phones 08:06 – Flagships 11:16 – Foldables 12:43 – Compact flagships 14:00 – Lower cost phones 16:18 – Phones to avoid 17:45 – Top three Two phones missing from this list are the Xiaomi 13T and 13T Pro, both excellent Genshin phones and great options at the right price. The 13T has a Dimensity 8200 Ultra, making it good, but you can get better value elsewhere. While the 13T Pro with its 9200+ which is excellent at the right price, though the Redmagic 9 Pro does give you more power for less.
