Want the best gaming phone experience? Try a controller.

Here’s how to turn HMD Fusion into a portable gaming device – and why you want to.

With the festive season around the corner, many of us may be looking out for the best offers on portable gaming consoles. But for casual gamers, their smartphones do the job just fine – they’ve got the screen, the processing power, and the Google Play Store gives Android™ users access to more games than we could hope to play.

Mobile gaming is hugely popular, but whether you’re into puzzle games, action games, role-playing games or simulations, there’s a drawback to playing on your smartphone that you’re probably more than familiar with.

Thumbs.

When a smartphone’s touchscreen serves as both the display and the means of controlling the game, our thumbs are going to block some of the view. It’s kind of inevitable. At the worst of times, this can cost you vital seconds in fast-paced games, and at the very least, it’s still pretty annoying. Here’s where mobile phone gaming controllers come in.

Let’s take a look at how a smartphone gaming controller can level up your on-the-go gaming experience, then take a deep-dive into the HMD Fusion Gaming Outfit for HMD Fusion.

What are the challenges with on-screen game controls?

While touchscreens are convenient, they often present challenges for gamers:

• Limited visibility: Fingers covering the screen can obscure critical game elements, leading to missed opportunities or errors.
• Lack of tactile feedback: Unlike physical buttons, touch controls don't provide the same level of feedback, making precise movements more difficult.
• Hand Fatigue: Extended gaming sessions can cause discomfort due to unnatural hand positions required for on-screen controls.

What does a mobile game controller do?

Introducing a mobile game controller can address these issues effectively:

• Unobstructed view: Physical controllers allow players to see the entire screen, enhancing situational awareness and reaction times.
• Improved precision: Analog sticks and buttons offer better control, crucial for games requiring quick reflexes and accuracy.
• Enhanced comfort: Ergonomically designed controllers reduce strain, allowing for longer, more comfortable gaming sessions.
