From the classic Snake, mobile games have really come a long way. Today, titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, PUBG, and Call of Duty: Mobile (CODM) have already become part of the thriving Esports scene here and abroad. Meanwhile, some games simply took everybody by storm, just like the current gaming craze brought by Genshin Impact.
If you’re a passionate gamer who aims to level up your performance, an upgraded smartphone may not be enough. Here are some accessories and smartphone essentials for your gaming setup that can help you get that sweet victory whatever mobile game it is you’re playing!
1. iPega PG-9117 Game Grip (P289)
A slim smartphone isn’t always the most comfortable thing on one’s hands when it comes to gaming. With the help of this game grip, you can play better with its ergonomic shape similar to the common controller. It also gives you an advantage with its triggers on top that you can use to push other buttons while your thumbs can stay on the important onscreen controls.

2. Razer Kishi Gaming Controller (P4,109 – P5,759)
Instead of getting a grip for your phone, you can also use a controller if you prefer a solid joystick and buttons. The Razer Kishi Gaming Controller clamps your smartphone, adding working buttons and joysticks on each side, similar to the design of the Nintendo Switch. To keep the latency low, the device connects directly to your smartphone through a Type-C connector for Android and a lightning connector for iOS devices.

4. Black Shark FunCooler Pro (P1,295)
A common issue with mobile gaming is that smartphones can quickly heat up. To help expel that excessive heat caused by heavy gaming, you can attach the Black Shark FunCooler Pro to the back of your smartphone. Black Shark claims that the seven-bladed fan of this gadget spins with a speed of 6200 RPM, which is twice the spinning speed of a helicopter rotor.

To keep your device juiced up, this power bank from Anker packs 20000mAh that can theoretically charge a typical smartphone four to five times. This device also offers Dual 12W output ports so you can charge two devices at the same time.
