I have recently started gaming more on my Google Pixel 7a, loving the wealth of games from big-budget blockbusters like Call of Duty: Mobile to classics like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. As a PC user, I sometimes find it hard to adjust to using touch controls, so I have long sought out one of the best phone controllers.
Unlike its rivals, the Backbone One ($99) and the Razer Kishi V2 ($99), the XP7-X Plus uses a full sized controller as its foundation — the grips are designed like a regular Xbox controller, albeit slightly smaller and with cheaper materials. This sets the XP7-X Plus apart from the competition, opting for the iconic Xbox layout rather than a Nintendo JoyCon-esque design as seen on the Backbone One or Kishi. An adjustable phone mount in the middle of the controller provides an easy way of using it with just about any make or model of smartphone.
