How to Boost Gaming Performance on Your Android Phone

1. Change the Screen Refresh Rate                                                   The higher the screen refresh rate, the better visual feel you get out of your games, with much smoother animations. Switching to a high screen refresh rate is one of the easiest ways on how to increase gaming performance on Android without root.

  Many Android devices—including flagship models from the likes of Samsung and OnePlus—allow you to change your screen. If you change this to whatever the highest that your phone offers, you can greatly improve the visuals of your games                                                                 On the phones that support this feature (not all the phones do), here's how you can increase the refresh rate:

1. Launch the Settings app on your phone and tap Display.                                                       2. Select Advanced on the resulting screen.
2.  Tap Refresh rate.
3.  Select the highest possible refresh rate from the options on your screen.

  Since there are different flavors of Android, precise steps will vary from one device to another. Check your exact phone model online if you can't find the option and are sure your device has a high display refresh rate.                                       

2. Switch to a Fast Internet Connection                                  If you play online games on your Android phone, the speed of your internet connection affects your gaming performance. This is because your games need to constantly send and receive data. If your internet connection is poor, this data transfer takes longer. In turn, your gaming experience gets spoiled.

 Therefore, to ensure your online games play as smoothly and lag-free as your offline games, consider using a fast internet connection when you play your games.

 You can use any connection that's fast enough. It could be a Wi-Fi connection or even a mobile data connection, especially if you have access to 5G.

3. Turn On Force 4x                     Force 4x MSAA (multi-sample anti-aliasing) is an option found on some Android phones that greatly enhances the quality of your games. It's by far the for improving gaming performance on Android.

Force 4x MSAA improves your performance and graphics in Open GL 2.0 apps and games.

 This feature comes disabled on most phones as it drains the battery pretty quickly. If you aren't too concerned about the battery life, and you want the best possible gaming experience on your phone, you can turn this feature on.

  Keep in mind, not all the phones out there support Force 4x.    If yours does, here's how to enable it:

1. Open the Settings app, tap About phone, and tap Build number seven times. Your phone should say you're a developer.
2.  Head back to the main settings menu and tap System.
3.  Tap Developer options.
4.  Find the option that says Force 4x MSAA and toggle it on.                                                                                                                                                                                                             If these steps don't work for you, quickly search for Force 4x using the top search bar in the Settings app. Remember, Developer options must be enabled first.                                            

   4. Remove the Junk From Your Phone                         The more files you store on your phone, the slower your phone gets.

    If you've saved any files on your phone that you don't intend to use anymore, you should get rid of those files to improve your phone's performance.  This improved performance will positively affect your gaming sessions.

     Your Android phone collects junk content from many sources. Your uninstalled apps' leftovers, old media files, and unused documents are all part of this junk.

    You can, actually, use a built-in feature on many Android phones to find the unused files and to safely delete them from the phone. Here's how you find and use this feature:

   1. Access Settings on your phone, and tap Storage.
   2.  Tap the Free Up Space button.
   3.  Select the items that you don't use anymore, and tap Free Up in the bottom-right.           

      5. Enable Dolby Atmos Sound                               Dolby Atmos' sound greatly enhances the audio quality of your games. If you have an Android phone that supports this, you can turn this feature on and enjoy better quality sounds in your games.

       Most Samsung Galaxy phones have this feature, and you can turn this on and off from the Settings menu. Here's how:

      1. Open the Settings app on your phone, and tap Sounds and vibration.
      2.  Tap Sound quality and effects on the following screen.
      3.  Turn Dolby Atmos on.                                                                                              

         6. Use a Game Booster App                  With more and more people playing games on their Android phones, there are now apps to optimize your Android device for gaming.

          These game booster apps tweak various options on your phone to ensure your phone can play games smoothly, and they'll also shut off notifications, so you don't get interrupted while playing. You don't need to manually optimize each option, as the app does that for you with a single tap.

         
         

          

          

          Game Booster is a free game optimization app you can use to make your Android device game-friendly. There are a few other game launchers for Android as well that you can use. And if your Android phone has a gaming mode, ensure you have it enabled every time you want to play.
