10 Pro Smartphone Tricks Every Mobile Gamer Should Know

 Whether you're crushing enemies in Call of Duty Mobile, building in Free Fire, or strategizing in Clash Royale, gaming on smartphones has come a long way. But if you’re not using your device to its full potential, you're leaving performance on the table.

Here are 10 pro smartphone tricks every mobile gamer should know to level up their gameplay in 2025:


๐ŸŽฎ 1. Turn on Game Mode or Gaming Assistant

Most modern smartphones come with a built-in Game Mode or Gaming Assistant (like Xiaomi’s Game Turbo, Samsung’s Game Booster, or OnePlus’ Gaming Tools). These features:

  • Prioritize gaming performance

  • Block notifications

  • Free up RAM

  • Monitor temperature and FPS

Turn this on before every gaming session for a smoother experience.


Smart hacks to get the most out of your device.


๐Ÿšซ 2. Disable Background Apps

Too many apps running in the background can hog RAM and CPU power. Before starting a game:

  • Clear recent apps

  • Turn on “Do Not Disturb.”

  • Limit background processes in Developer Options (advanced users)

It’s a simple trick that can seriously reduce lag and overheating.


Quick fixes for your everyday tech issues.


๐Ÿ”‹ 3. Use Battery Saver (Smartly)

You’d think battery saver slows things down—but some phones offer a gaming-optimized power saver mode. This reduces background activity while keeping your FPS stable. Try different power profiles in your settings or gaming mode for the best balance.

๐Ÿ“ฒ 4. Optimize Touch Sensitivity

Phones with high refresh rates (90 Hz/120 Hz/144 Hz) usually support enhanced touch sampling rates too. Go to your display settings or Game Tools and:

  • Enable high-touch response

  • Turn off accidental touch protection for better screen accuracy

This can make a huge difference in fast-paced games.


Stay ahead with the latest OS features and updates.


๐ŸŒ 5. Switch to 5GHz Wi-Fi or Mobile Gaming VPN

For smoother online gameplay:

  • Use GHz Wi-Fi over 2.4 GHz for lower ping

  • Try a gaming VPN (like ExitLag or NoPing) to reduce lag spikes

  • Keep your phone close to the router or use mobile data if Wi-Fi is unstable


๐ŸงŠ 6. Keep Your Phone Cool

Heat = performance throttling. Avoid it by:

  • Removing the phone case while gaming

  • Taking short breaks every 30 minutes

  • Using a clip-on cooling fan or cooling pad if you game for hours

Cooler temps = better frame rates.


๐ŸŽฏ 7. Customize Your Controls

Games like PUBG Mobile and COD Mobile let you:

  • Re-map touch controls

  • Adjust sensitivity for aim and movement

  • Enable gyroscope aiming

Spend time fine-tuning your setup—it can seriously improve your kill/death ratio.


๐Ÿ“ธ 8. Record Gameplay Without Lag

Want to stream or record your sessions? Use your phone’s built-in screen recorder via Game Mode. For best results:

  • Record at 720p or lower if you're on a mid-range phone

  • Keep recording bitrate low to avoid frame drops

  • Use external microphones for better sound quality


๐Ÿ”Š 9. Use Wired Earphones or Gaming TWS

Audio cues are key in competitive games. Wired headphones offer zero latency, while gaming TWS earbuds (like those from Razer or Asus) provide low-latency modes. Also, turn on "Ultra Sound" or "3D Audio" if your phone supports it.


๐Ÿ› ️ 10. Update Drivers & Game Plugins

On phones from ASUS ROG, RedMagic, or Samsung :

  • Update GPU drivers from Game Center or system updates

  • Install game-specific plugins for PUBG, Fortnite, etc. for better compatibility

You’ll get more stable performance and newer features.


๐Ÿ•น️ Final Words

Smartphones are powerful gaming machines—if you know how to unlock their potential. These pro tricks are simple yet powerful ways to get smoother performance, better accuracy, and faster reaction times.
