As i have worked as an author at a swedish website aimed at gaming on Android, I thought that i should make a thread about the things i spend the most time on with the Note 8.0.
With the Quadcore 1,6Ghz CPU together with Mali-400 GPU and 2GB RAM there arent many games that would make this tablet slow down, so why not enjoy some nice games on it.
At the moment i mostly play Real Racing 3, I previously played it on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and there it could lag sometimes but on the Note 8.0 it looks good and plays even better
Gamelofts games also look really nice on the tablet and the size of the tablet makes it, in my opinion, ideal for games like Dungeon Hunter, Blitz Brigade and Heroes of Order and Chaos. What makes the size good is that you can hold the tablet comfortably and still not cover to much of the screen with your thumbs.
What games do you play on your Note 8? And are there any games that you think does extra well on a tablet than on a phone?
Need for Speed most wanted, real racing 3, minion madness, and nova 3. That eats up most of my internal memory. I have a few other small free game but the names are escaping me.
I have been very happy with the gaming ability of this tablet. Graphics look good and the games don't lag. I am very impressed with the screen. It's resolution isnt the best per say but man everything looks so clean, clear, and the colors are vivid. It looks much better than the nook hd and hd+ that l have and looks better than the older nexus 7 l had.
This tablet would be darn near perfect if they would include more memory and stop the random screen freezing problem.

(Edit: forgot about the riptide game, its a fun one with good graphics)
I used galaxy tab 2 7 p3100 before, with powerVR SGX541 GPU. What i m concern about our note 8 n5100 is the powerfull GPU, mali400mp. It does handle graphics very well than powervr sgx541 on my tab 2. I used to play The dark night rises, the amzing spiderman, avp evolution n NBA 2k13, n i m surprise, the graphics of that 4 games come a lot better. I realize that there are so many effects that don't show on my tab 2, show well n amazingly on our note 8. The character looks shiny, n does look better. AVP evolution, i love the graphic setting on its option. So, i set the graphic quality to high, n woww the graphic looks amazing. N for NBA2k13, this game really surprise me a lot when play for the first time on note 8. On note 8, there show a couple cheerleaders dancing when game got time out, they never show up when i play it on tab 2, the characters/players show really close to the real persons of the player. I used the same installer n same data game, so mali really optimized the graphics.
Ok here the list of the games that i installed on my note, work very well n has a amazing graphic beside the 4 games i mentioned above
1. Bladeslinger ep. 1
2. Bounty Arms
3. Dragon Slayer
4. Eternity Warrior 2
5. Man of Steel
6. Modern Combat 4 : Zero Hour
7. Real Racing 3
8. Real Boxing
9. NFS Most Wanted
10. FIFA 12
11. Shadowgun
12. Virtua Tennis
N here are the complete games i installed on my note 8, n of course, for the game that i don't mentioned above, the graphis are also good, except samurai shodown II (it's nostalgia related thing )

I have quite a few games installed, but I would like to bring attention to DraStic... An NDS emulator that was released a couple of days ago.
It is extremely well polished for a first release and provides full speed DS emulation on devices less powerful than our Note 8.0, so you can imagine just how fast it is.
This is certainly an app that works far better for us, than it would on a phone.
In portrait mode, you can hold the NDS XXL (aka Note 8.0) very comfortably and use the on screen controls, hardly covering anything of the bottom screen in the process.
There is support for external controllers as well, along with a host of useful features... such as Google drive save backup, and screen layout/switching on the fly.
The screen size and precision stylus of the Note 8.0 makes this emulator a perfect fit!

I have to try that DraStic NDS Emultor as i have a few favs to play on my Nintendo DS, hopefully one can copy savefiles from the M3card to the Android-device
Also for the people playing Real Racing 3, there is a little trick to make the game look even better than it already does, follow these simple steps in this thread and the game will look really awesome. Tho there will be some drop in framerate when you race Cup's with many cars on the screen.
I tried some of the games you mentioned but after couple minutes the battery drains big time. Just for instance gameloft game " fashion " from 80% it went down to 20-15% after maybe 10-15 mins playtime. I don't get to enjoy games . Guys, how long normally is the battery life of your tab when you play games? Thank you for the answer.

yup I'm satisfied on everything except for the gaming... it's drain heavily... and I'm still using stock ROM
I admit I'm disappointed in the gpu... is anyone else experiencing a touch of lag in Plants vs Zombies 2?
But for emulators and most games its sufficient. I have to remind myself I bought this device for the digitizer... My priority wasn't gaming. It's good enough, but not fantastic.
Zero lag on pvz2 (on early level though, haven't focus played it yet) for me the gpu was fine I even underclock it (in hope for better battery) and manage to play games smoothly... it is the battery usage while gaming that disappointing...

Nice...If you like ps1 games on the go. Check out ppsspp...so you can play your old psp games on the note 8. It's fast and it's furiously fun. Battery life is also good with emulators and to be honest, I don't know if any of the "casual" tablet games can even compare to a full blown psp title like tekken dark resurrection, soul calibur, the 3rd birthday, final fantasy crysis core, persona 3, monster hunter, god eater burst and kingdom hearts birth by sleep....it's not even 1.0 version yet and there's already some ad hoc multiplayer in the works....
I also have modern combat zero hour, batman, spiderman, asphalt but...ppsspp rocks! The note 8 is the perfect gaming/productivity/work tablet (just my 2 cents)...

Hey guys, where can I get some nice games for the new toy? On Android Market there aint' that much, and on the Samsung Store the only one available is Asphalt 5.
Where do you people go to look for games? I've seen a lot of videos with people testing N.o.v.a. on the Galaxy S but where did they get it?
http://www.gameloft.com, I downloaded the motorola Droid versions since there are no Galaxy versions. Workin just fine. Downloaded NOVA and Modern Combat: Sandstorm there.

How do u find gaming in GalaxyS? Is the sensor accurate?
I'm concerned since I really like playing in the Iphone and I hope its as much fun
You can always use an emulator like gameboid and others to emulate everything from nes to gba games, I find that a gba game offers a lot more depth than the average ios/android game, also brings back the feeling from the old days .
The gaming experience is really smooth on the Samsung. This is where the superamoled really is good. I think there are som vids on youtube where a galaxy runs nova and modern combat. Might want to check those out

It appears it doesnt work properly, atleast gameboid doesnt, hangs after I select the rom (it shows the image where I last saved and hangs there with distorted sounds, however the application still works, I can still press menu and go to settings etc). It did work fine on my htc desire before, so I'm gonna try some things to make it work.
The snes emulator works great, played mario kart the other day.
the gba one doesn't however
Anyone else find asphalt 5 doesnt have a particularly good fps? raging thunder 2 and all the other games seem to be 60fps. Looking forward to games to start using ogl 2.0
Asphalt 5 is not really optimized, it performs horribly on pretty much every device out there.
The motorola droid runs is pretty well, but ONLY the droid.
As for the rest of the games- Everything that works on the droid/milestone will work on the Galaxy S
All current mobile processors are based on Cortex A8 with ARMv7 instruction sets, and both devices contain SGX series 5 graphics. The difference between 530 and 540 doesn't really matter, pretty much the same driver.
My guess is that after 1 or two firmware updates for the device things will be running a hell of a lot smoother.
Give it some time, the nexus and droid also had some childhood sickness untill stuff started running perfectly.
asphalt runs sweet as a nut on my galaxy s. so does raging thunder
Toonwarz looks like its running pretty well...
i like bridge, solitair and quake, also search for chromatatron.. laser puzzle logic games i like a lot.
Did someone have the chance to check out H.A.W.X?
And generally, the galaxy S should be pretty much a gaming beast, with the large 4" screen which is probably the best in the market right now, and SGX540, which is the strongest GPU around, untill the snapdragon 8672 sees light (and might still be the strongest even after that)
Tested and verified games and fullscreen..
Asphalt 5
Tower Bloxx
Tangram Pro (love this game..)
Flight Frenzy
The Game of Life
Surviving High School
New York Nights 2 (nice but not full screen though.. for 3.5 - 3.7 screen)
Bonsai Blast
Katamari Mobile (love this game..)
Mechanics Touch
Sally's Spa
The Gube - 3D Rubik's Cube
..still testing others.. it is very tiring to install and uninstall the games even when using ASTRO. hehehe
I have a ton of games installed on my Galaxy S.

I've been playing a lot of GBA games I never got around to. Minish Cap, Medabots AX, DBZ Supersonic Warriors (great game, kudos to the above poster!), all the Pokemon games (GBA and GB) and some SNES games I never played but are considered the top tier of gaming. I've also been playing some N64 games, but I havent gotten to into them yet. Still trying to decide whether I like MUGEN or N64oid better. I really hope PS Suite brings the goods when it comes out, usually I carry my PSP and my phone, if I could get a few games I play on my PSP on my phone then it'd be perfect. I love having this phone. Controls make emulators amazing and thats all I ever wanted from my old android phones. Anything else that comes out for it is icing on the cake.

An underrated game but really good it's called Secret of Evermore, i don't think anyone likes it because they thought it borrowed a lot from secret of mana but it's actually built from the ground up with ideas from mana... just play it, you won't regret it.
Unfortunately it only works 100% in SNESDroid which is quite slow, so overclock or play on PC

My games:
Final Fantasy 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
Chrono Trigger (psx version of this and FF 4-6 have more features than the OG snes versions)
Vanguard Bandits
Legend of Dragoon
Legend of Legaea
Lunar Silver Story Complete
Lunar 2 Eternal Blue
I am an RPG fanatic and they're easy to play even with screwy touch screen controls.
Also, for anyone looking to get psx roms, make sure you know what "ecm" is and how to decode a rom that's been encoded with ecm. Some games you can't find a non-encoded version

Great list. Fair play.
I would love to see some sort of 'Emulator Launcher' that would just list ALL your roms regardless of platform and launch the emu when you select what game to play.
I can never remember what platform each game is on so I can never remember which one to launch
Hey,
What games does this thing handle?
Minecraft, GTA 3 or even Most Wanted?
I'm getting this phone soon and I just wanna know, what you guys recommend me to play. I have actually no Idea about whats possible with this thing. Yeah I'm much of a Smartphone Noob as you can get. Sorry 'bout that.
Greetings PerformerFX
Whoa lol let me put it in perspective for you this phone has a 832mhz processor the galaxy note 2 is 8 times faster 8 TIMES FASTER our phone can just be used for casual gaming I.e my paper plane, pew pew, fruit ninja (though it lags) angry birds not star wars and space lags,devil ninja,line runner, bubble shooter, really the only highlight is emulators gba emulator runs flawless every game I tried works and at full speed same goes for snes sega genesis mame (tiger arcade) also works pretty well but the best by far will have to be the ps1 emulator (fpse) which can pull out full 60fps on games like bloody raw though in average you get more like 50fps
Hit THANKS you ungrateful bastard...plz
my advice, is if you want to play purchase a xperia mini pro (or mini) , or something like that because is armv7 and have 512 ram and the price is almost the same of the galaxy y (at least in my country)
phone is great,
has excellent battery life,
it can't handle much high end games though,
if you use your phone primarily for gaming,
get something else instead
Yes....if u want a gaming tab go for Nexus 7..cause its really for gaming...i think?
AMALAYER? SHES A LAYER!
NO....AMALADYGUARD!.. PWNED!!
Unfortunately this phone cannot handle those high end games,
This has been talked about before but I'm really starting to think something might be wrong here. Is it 5.0? Is it art? Or could there be something else going on here?

Rockstar just released Chinatown Wars for Android. New port of an old game and while driving around the city it lags like crazy. Tried it out on my N5 and it's perfectly fine.
Look at reviews on the Google play store other N6 owners are saying the same... The game lags. Yet I don't see any other reviews complaining about the same. One person on a Note 2 commented how smooth the game was.

Are you saying that because it has a higher resolution that's why it's lagging? Shouldn't the faster processor cancel that out.
Ok now explain why even while unencrypted games still load faster on my N5?
Madden Reviews. One poster said it played fine on his Note 4 but not on his N6. Aren't those both the same resolution?

This isn't a resolution problem.
There is an 8 minute gameplay vid of Chinatown Wars on Youtube being played on a Note 4, 3 days ago smooth as butter.
And Chinatown wars is not even a very demanding game. Both my N6 and N5 ran cool while playing it. But it lagging like hell on a new $700 device is 100% unacceptable.

Yea and that device was supposed to be a Nexus 6.
Is this not the most powerful phone with the biggest/best display on the market? Besides gaming what else would someone need all this processing power for? Facebook? YouTube?
This phone should blow away everything you throw at it... And right now it's not competing with a 1 year old device that's sold for half the price.
You people should be demanding answers as well.

Look I love this phone and will not be switching it out fire something else but there IS undeniably something going on with graphics performance

I have been playing Family Guy - The Quest For Stuff for a while on my Note 3 and even on a Moto G. The Game was perfectly playable. On my new Nexus 6 it is lagging like crazy! I have tried several different demanding 3D games like Real Racing 3 for instance and most of them are working fine. I also don't think it is an Android 5.0 issue as my Moto G is running official Android 5.0 ROM. Maybe it is a combination between the high resolution and something else... I don't know...
The only thing i can think of are those read/write times. Even unencrypted my games take longer to load.
Now why are some games performing fine and others terribly?
Maybe certain games are loading more into ram from the start and it's smooth sailing? While others are struggling to load data consistently on the fly?

According to some tests I did, the storage on the Nexus 6 is on the same performance level as the Nexus 5 and even just a little bit faster. (unencrypted). So there shouldn't be any problems. Also, I haven't seen any slow loading in any of the games I've tried. Family Guy, Real Racing 3, Plants vs Zombies 2...
You know what I'm in the same boat but I'm pretty sure it should be software optimisation missing, I run a really simple 8 ball game, nothing too CPU demanding, animations lags on my Nexus 6 but not in my Nexus 5. Something should be wrong but with the OS or apps.
I'd say art has a small part to play in this, but I also read about there being different brand memory installed on different nexus 6 devices that is believed to possibly play a roll in this. Out of the games I've played I've experienced zero lag and my load times are fine. I've read about people having lag on coc and coc has always played fine for me. Asphalt 8 runs great! Spiderman unlimited plays great, Temple run, mine craft, Terraria, pool break, etc... Maybe I've just been lucky.

Can you please reboot to Bootloader and tell us the model of the eMMC and the DRAM used in yours?

Both of them?
My eMMC is Sandisk and the DRAM is Hynix ...
I've been looking at this as my next tablet, it sounds different and I like the note taking capabilities (having been a Galaxy Note user for years). I don't really game very much if I'm being honest, but I don't like the idea of spending quite a bit of cash on a tablet that's particularly slow. I've trawled around for Geekbench 4 scores and it's coming back at around 1100 single-core and 3100 multi-core.. I can live with that, it's ~3x faster than the Nexus 7 that I'm using at the moment and compared to my Note 4 it's 10-20% faster. Compared to say the Pixel C, which was the other tablet I was considering, it's a bit slower in single-core and about the same in multi-core benches. However, that doesn't really give me much of an idea about gaming. As I already said, I don't really do much gaming, and it's unlikely that I'll do anything much more taxing than Candy Crush, but I don't want to buy something that is overly slow in the first place.
To anybody that has a Yoga Book, what games have you run on it? How has it performed and how does it stack up against any of your other devices?
Cheers in advance.

As for Windows 10 version goes:
- Hearthstone - running fine
- Terrarian - running fine
- Armello - fine on low/medium details
- Portal 2 - running fine on medium/high details
- Torchlight 2 - generally ok-ish but slows down significantly with more effects/mobs
- Mirror's Edge - slideshow even on lowest details
The issue with Windows version & games is that Halo keyboard has issues (see here) so if you are going for windows version, get external keyboard or game pad.
Cheers for that, good to get some actual real world feedback. I'm likely to go for the Android version over the Windows one, however if you can run actual 3D games that were aimed at fully fledged PCs only a few years ago, then I should hopefully be ok running Angry Birds
Anybody else tried something like Real Racing 3 or Goat Simulator or *something* that is to Android devices what Crysis was to PCs?
Hello
I just got the Android version. I have also been wondering about gaming performance. I have been looking around for some information regarding the performance. It seems that the CPU part is comparable to the Snapdragon 810 and the GPU is comparable to the Snapdragon 800. I don't think the GPU part is as bad as it sounds, because most devices using a more powerful GPU's, is also using a higher resolution. But i tried a few games out to see if it run them.
Games:
Modern Combat 5 - OK
N.O.V.A 3 - OK
Riptide GP Renegade - Ok - At default setting (High) but the game suggests lower settings. But the highest settings is made for the Nvidia Shield tv.
Limbo - OK
Colin MCRae rally 2 OK (But you get a warning about possible performance issues. But i didn't notice any)
Newer Alone - OK (It didn't show up in the Playstore, so i installed the game from my cell phone)
Lost Journey - OK
Rayman Adventures - Not OK (Stops before you can play)
Rayman Fiesta Run - OK
Rush Rally 2 - OK
Virtua Tennis (Sega) - OK
Field Runners 2 - OK
Robo Defense - OK
Sonic 4 Episode 1 - Not Ok ( Runs in slowmotion)
Sonic 4 Episode 2 -Ok
Deus Ex The Fall - OK
Crazy Taxi Classic - Not OK ( Hangs while loading)
Wings - OK
Leo's Fortune - OK
Monument Valley - OK
R-type 1 & 2 - OK
Raiden - OK
Minecraft PE - OK
Super Soccer Champs - OK
Emulators:
Amiga 500 - OK (UAE4Arm - IK+ and Pinball dreams Using the Keyboard)
Commodore 64 - OK (C64.emu)
Arcade - OK (Mame4droid 0.139 and FBA4droid - CPS 3, Neo geo and more)
Nes - OK (Nes.emu)
NEC Pcengine - OK (PCE.emu)
Sega Megadrive - OK (MD.emu)
Dreamcast - OK But not all games will run well. But that the way it is with most devices (Raicast)
Playstation 1 - OK - (EPSXE)
Snes - OK (Snes9xEX+)
GBA - Ok (My Boy)
Quake3 - OK (Q3-touch)
Doom - OK (D-touch)
PSP - OK But not all games will run well. But that the way it is with most devices (PPSSPP)
Half Life / Counter Strike - OK (Xash / CS16Client)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
To add to the Windows 10 version, TESIV Oblivion (and by extension, Morrowind) run fine on medium settings with the view distance still far away.

The nVidia Shield exclusive Strike Suit Zero plays remarkably well. Unfortunately the game doesn't listen to the halo keyboard, but it does have controller and touchscreen support.
Hi! I have a Lenovo Yoga book Android version and I cant run ppsspp emulator, It stopped before I can open it. How can I fix this
Try downloading and older version from official website.
I had the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition before I got the Yoga Book.
I play:
XCOM: EW Graphics are awesome compared to the Note
Star Wars: KOTOR Same as above
Block Fortress War Same as above
Hitman Sniper Same as above
Games not working right.
Block Fortress Everything is inverted
Call of Duty Strike Team It loads to the main menu but I can't get pass the campaign load screen.
I'm also hesitant between Galaxy Tab s3 and Android version of Yoga Book. I mainly read and brows plus I play Unkilled multiplayer regularly . Does the Yoga handle smoothly Unkilled, Dead Trigger 2 etc. I'm coming from the excellent Galaxy Note 2014 /still in use but now with terrible Chinese battery which somehow makes the software act strangely/ . I'm considering Yoga Book cause it will save me money for Xperia XA1. I am on the budget and trying to maximize the utility.

Yoga Book is a great replacement for the Note 10.1 2014. I had shattered the screen on my Note. It is well worth the price new, even though I got it used for half the price.
How will this tablet work for mail, browsing and social media? And compared to the Galaxy tab 3?

Having the Halo Keyboard is great. Being able to have floating windows is nice.
Can you run warframe?
I´d like to know if someone has tried on the Windows version League of Legends and Medieval II Total war, and how is the performance on those games. Thanks.
Curious if the Windows version would be able to run Minecraft mods (through Technic Launcher, Twitch, etc.) and games on Steam like Stardew Valley, Nier: Automata, DanganRonpa, etc.
Not expecting phenomenal results, but if it runs at least Stardew and light Minecraft mods relatively comfortably, then I'd be happy.

Team fortress 2
Elders Scroll Oblivion
Starcraft
Counter Strike Source
Day of Defeat Source
etc, etc
Lenovo Yoga tablet on windows is a must-have device if you are always on the go and need an office machine always to be around. It is small and compact and would fit in a tiny bag. The advantage of having a windows version instead of android is because you have a fully equipped office machine and on android, you are a bit limited to the system therefore on windows you can do whatever you want to. Also, I was curious if anyone on this forum plays cs go as I do. A few hours ago I bought a legendary knife and wanted to ask if this knife is worth something if someone knows the game. Thanks in advance!
