How Are Samsung Phones for MCOC ?

So , basically I was thinking of buying another device and I was confused between Android and iOS so I decided to go for iOS (currently I'm on Android)
As everyone says it's better for MCOC now I'm facing some financial issue so I asked a friend to suggest a Device so he told me about Samsung.
So I want suggestions from Samsung users Help if you can guys ...

@DoubleDelta Thank you so much for such a long write up.
So as far as I think I'll wait for some more time then I'll go for iOS .

If you need to go with android I would like to suggest a Xiaomi Note 8 pro. Earlier this year I needed a new phone and didn`t want to spend a lot on it. Because the only reason I would go IOS is Mcoc. And for all other aspects I like android better.
It is preforming really well. Loadtimes are slower than IOS or the top Samsung phones. But it was only 220 euros. So it should be between 200 and 250 dollars. And it has close to double the benchmarks a samsung for the same money has.
So if you are on a budget I would look towards Xiaomi.
Do not look towards Huawei since they no longer support Google Play. Which can lead to problems.
Budget Samsung phones do not preform the game too well.

My load times are about 3 seconds and none of the 'problem' fights ever give me any issues.

A good indication is actually its geekbench score. Just look up the Geekbench 5 site and type in any phone you are interested in.
For android general guidelines are:
< 250: the game runs, but isn`t very smooth (loadtimes 9 seconds and laggy fights)
300-400: The game runs decently, but lags in the problem fights (loadtimes 7 seconds)
450+: The games runs pretty smoothly, no lag in problem fights (loadtimes 3-4 seconds)
550+: Aside from special effects, you don`t really notice a difference between Android and IOS

I personally have the upper 3 options, and a friend has a 550+ option.
This won`t go for exactly every phone but as a general guideline it is pretty good.

You could look up graphical benchmarks aswell, but phones with the above benchmarks usually have about equal graphical capabilities.

I got Samsung A71 smartphone so far I am happy about its performance.

Galaxy S20 with Snapdragon and amazing performance and no issues now that I run the screen at 96HZ rather than 120HZ, which did cause some problems (unintended heavies). Battery life is amazing and real 5G.

Be aware that those saying that the iPhones have almost no issues aren't exactly correct. It was the iPhones that were seriously overheating not too long ago and not the Android flagships. Also, check out Phonesrena's battery test on the new iphone 12's. They do extremely poorly in gaming, with the Samsung phones getting around 3 times more battery life.

It's definitely not worth getting an apple device for mcoc if it's not totally financially feasible. I know @Etjama runs on a samsung and loves it and I run on a oneplus 7 pro that i Iove playing on. the screen size is great, bezels are pretty much non-existent and charging is ridiculously fast. I picked mine up on sale from t mobile and it was about 500 usd and I know one plus does a lot of sales and you can buy from their website. Ive played on ios and android and I still think ios has quicker reaction time to my inputs, but it's not a huge difference and that's just my perception. if you're comfortable with sharing a price range that's good for you, I'm sure people would be happy to recommend their phones that are around that range

Etjama

Yup, what @Thicco_Mode said. I much prefer Android over Apple and thought I would be doomed to run MCoC slowly unless I changed since I was on a very old Moto. Bought an S10 and in a side-by-side comparison with both my friends' iPhone 11s, mine runs the game faster.

Anything with a Snapdragon processor is going to run this game very quickly.

Thicco_Mode

dang how fast do you load in?

Etjama

From tapping on the app to being in the game, 8 seconds.

Thicco_Mode

what the duck that's crazy

Etjama

Yup, it's a couple seconds slower right now though cause we have 2 devices on Zoom at our house. And my data sucks where I live.

Thicco_Mode

the words marvel contest of champions only load in at six seconds for me

Etjama

3 seconds for me atm. My old Moto I had on the other hand... I would open the app, put the phone down for a literal minute, come back, and the game still wasn't running. I timed it before replacing my phone and 1:13 was the best I could get. 😂

Get this man to 5-stars!

Goddamn! 👁️👄👁️

Anyone know how the Galaxy Note 20 does? Contemplating buying one.

Tiger360

I mean this game runs fine on an S9 from what I’ve seen so S20 is just overkill

Aleor

I played some using s8 recently, and it feels just fine. Also you may need to adjust to timing of your phone anyway. I actually didn't like playing with apple device.
Overall, unless you're buying some 50$ phone, you'll be fine.
Final pro tip - ask somebody, who have an Android, give it to you, and see yourself

arsjum

I switched over to Galaxy S20 FE from my gold old Pixel 2 XL and the game runs phenomenally on this device. I also have an iPad Pro 10.5 and frankly I prefer my S20 FE, granted it is a much newer device than my iPad but still that's a good indication.

On my Note 20 ultra this game is unplayable, however I have to use my S10 plus to do anything with this game. Which sucks since I paid over a thousand dollars for a phone.

8 minutes for me, I'm on a Samsung A50

Lyingninja

Wait what?? 8 minutes??.....
I'm on A30s and it takes only 30 seconds...must be your network

Nope, I'm in a 40 Mbps network and it works very well. The game just doesn't load up sometimes. It was better for a day or two after the update but now it's still back
