TIP 1: SWITCH TO HIGHEST REFRESH RATE

To get the best visuals and graphics, switch to the highest refresh rate your
device allows. In modern Android smartphones, you can switch between the 60Hz to
90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate. Most Android devices, such as Samsung, One Plus,
Motorola, Mi or Xiaomi allows you to change the refresh rate through display
settings.

automatically when they detect a game or an ordinary app to conserver battery
power. The steps are as follow,

On your phone, go to Settings and tap Display.

Select Advanced or look for the Motion Smoothness option.

Force 4x MSAA, also known as multisample anti-aliasing, is an advanced option
located under the Developer Options. It can help in greatly improving the gaming
performance on your Android phone. This setting works in improving the performance
of all games and apps that support OpenGL 2.0.

By default, this setting is disabled in most Android devices. To enable Force 4x

MSAA or anti-aliasing feature, follow these steps,

located under the Software Information section.

Find and turn on Force 4x MSAA to enable 4x MSAA in OpenGL ES 2.0 apps and games.
TIP 3: FREE UP AND OPTIMIZE STORAGE/RAM
Low storage space on Android can slow down your device and impact gaming
performance. Modern Android phones come with built-in Junk clear or storage cleaner
option or app that you can use to free up storage space and RAM. You should use it
or install a third-party system cleaner and optimization app to remove junk files,
temporary data, leftover data by uninstalled apps, and cache.

TIP 4: SWITCH OFF POWER SAVING MODE
Disabling or uninstalling unused apps can help you significantly free up storage
space and increase the device’s performance.

Maybe you have installed those apps to do some tasks after which you never required
it. However, it’s still there on your device eating up your system resources. You
can uninstall all such apps.

Some Android devices running on Android 10 or later can tell you which apps are
rarely or never used by you after 1-2 uses. Modern Android phones, such as Samsung
(One UI), may also auto-disable such unused apps automatically to save on
resources.

TIP 5: DISABLE OR UNINSTALL UNUSED APPS

Power Saving or Battery Saver mode is a great option to conserver the phone’s
battery. However, Power Saving mode does improve battery life by reducing the
device’s performance. It stops the auto-sync, disables background activities,
reduces the processor’s clock speed, animations, refresh rate, etc. that can
adversely affect your device’s gaming performance.

Check your device if Power Saving Mode is enabled. If yes, disable it. The option
is generally located in the Settings. However, you can quickly access this setting
on your Android by swiping down on the notification bar.
