“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Any gamer will tell you that this old adage is absolutely true. Gaming is now as main-stream as any sport, and has its own legions of devoted fans and fanatics. In fact, many believe that gaming will eventually surpass movies and music and become the dominant form of entertainment.
One of the longest standing debates among gamers is the battle between mobile gaming (a video game played on a mobile phone, smart-phone, PDA or tablet computer) and console gaming. Proponents of console gaming believe that mobile based games can never measure up to the graphical quality and immersive nature of console games.
Well, all that is about to change. Mobile gaming now has a new champion, the Xolo X900 smart-phone.
Speed
Mobile games tend to be small in scope and often rely on good game-play rather than graphics, due to the lack of processing power of the client devices.
The Xolo X900 is one of the first phones in the world to be powered by a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor with hyper-threading technology. Add to that 1GB of RAM and we have a seriously fast phone on our hands. This should enable the phone to handle games with much heavier graphics, without compromising on the frame rate or loading times.
Graphics
According to NVIDIA, a tech company best known for its powerful graphics processors says that by 2014, mobile video game graphics will surpass those of consoles.
We may not be there quiet yet, but here’s a glimpse into the future.
The Xolo X900 comes with a very vivid and brilliant 4-inch TFT LCD Capacitive touch-screen with a high resolution 1024X600 pixels display. But what really clinches the deal is its high speed 400 MHz graphics engine which provides rich and smooth flowing 3D gaming with super-responsive graphics. This makes it possible for consumers to enjoy an immersive gaming experience that was previously only possible on consoles or desktop PCs.
In conclusion, technology issues that once prevented mobile gaming from rivaling console gaming are being addressed, and the Xolo X900 is a definitive step in the right direction. Now, consumers will be able to enjoy realistic and immersive gaming experiences on the go. The only that gamers need to keep in mind is not to begin a gaming session when they’re about to cross the road.
