For a long time, our smartphones can act as a small video game console. Whether it is with the newer ones that we download from Google Play or those classics, playing from your mobile or tablet is something that millions of people do every day. But there are ways and means to play on the mobile and of course, we will always have a plus of support and precision, if we do it from one of these compact bluetooth controllers.
Mobile games have been improving and their graphic quality is gradually (saving the distances) approaching consoles. Some claim that just as mobile photography has come to compete with professional cameras, so will developer games for mobile one day. In fact, in theory it is already possible, if we count how to play on the mobile, some of the cloud services that allow us to play console games on our smartphone.
What remote to choose for the mobile or tablet?
A mobile can be taken anywhere and therefore, we believe that a controller to play on these devices should be just as manageable. Generally, games on tablets or mobiles tend to last less time than those that can be played on a console. That the control is ergonomic and adapts to our hand should be a fundamental requirement. We must also take into account that it has the appropriate and sufficient buttons for the titles we usually play.
In addition, Bluetooth connectivity is another requirement, which is supported by practically all mobile phones and tablets on the market. The connection is reliable, stable, secure and also offers a fast response. For this reason, all the options we have selected have this connectivity option. However, the autonomy of each one will depend on the battery that each manufacturer has implanted, which in many cases is also linked to the price. However, all of the options on this list are excellent value for money and some are excellently discounted right now.
