Mobile gaming is set to take another leap forward with the introduction of hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

With the promise of more natural lighting, shadows, and reflections, ray tracing will bring mobile gaming closer to graphical fidelity seen on the highest-end PCs and consoles than ever before.

Samsung's Exynos 2200 chips already support the technology, while Qualcomm (Snapdragon) and MediaTek have announced that ray tracing is coming to their next-generation mobile chipsets.

The first of the Snapdragon and MediaTek-powered devices are expected to be out by the end of this year, becoming more widely available in 2023.

For mobile gamers, who want a future-proof device, the ability to utilize ray tracing will be an important factor when considering what smartphone/tablet they will opt to buy.

We've already covered the games that will support ray tracing, and now we are looking at what smartphones will support the technology now and into the future.
