Notice
The matter covers both cell phones sold in Spain and imported (China). Because of this, it is not surprising that there is a predominance of cell phones imported from the 4th position. Only smartphones still on sale are contained in the post. For used or old cell phones (2014) visit our post about “used cell phones to buy in the crisis".
The post will not analyze items like camera. As the focus is on games, we will only analyze performance, screen, battery life and “footprint” of the cell phone. Given this, there is no possibility of including smartphones with only 1 GB of RAM in the list.
The focus of Matter was restricted to Android due to the lack of options for Windows 10 Mobile and iPhones. On Windows, due to the lack of game releases, and the iPhone due to the lack of devices in the aforementioned price range.
10 – Samsung Galaxy J5 2016
O Samsung Galaxy J5 it's the most basic thing we have in terms of mobile phones for games, available for sale in retail stores in Spain. Despite having an outdated processor, the Galaxy J5 has the support of 2 GB of RAM. The chip is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (Quad-Core 1.2 GHZ) com Adreno GPU 306. It's a mobile for 2D games, but it can take a risk in some heavy games, like Modern Combat or Asphalt. But don't be fooled by the performance on old Gameloft games. Heavier titles may have many crashes, or be incompatible.

On sale in Spain at stores like Kabum, Meizu Note M2 is that pleasant surprise when it comes to mobile for games. The Chinese smartphone has a fragile-looking plastic body (reminiscent of the iPhone 5C), but it has some settings that draw attention. with screen of 5.5 inches, o Meizu Note M2 tem processador octa-core 1.3 GHZ, FullHD bodies, 2GB of RAM (LDDR3) and battery 3.000 mAh. The only bottleneck is the processor of only 1.3 Ghz. But the set is good enough to enjoy some games in high resolution 1920 × 1080 pixels.

O Moto G4 Play has practically identical configuration to the Samsung Galaxy J5.

7 – Asus Zenfone Go Live
Asus has done an excellent job, bringing smartphone to Spain at a great cost/benefit ratio. Among the company's most basic smartphones, we have the Zenfone Go Live. The screen is from 5.5 inches, only 1280 × 720 pixels. But the device has clocked chip 1.5 GHZ. So think of it as a Moto G4 Play with a little more processing power.
