I wouldn't consider gachas to be "actual games" (sue me), but yeah, they do tend to have way more complex gameplay and graphics than the timewaster freemium games of yore. Genshin Impact is essentially a single-player MMO, it has an open world and lots of characters and different weapons etc etc.
still wouldn't bet the general phone audience find those games to be the the deciding factor in a phone
I think it would be on par with camera quality— really important to some, bot not a huge deal for most.
Good enough quality screen for solid video media performance, generally, would be an absolute must I imagine.
The "general phone audience" is some 5 billion people. If even 10% of them want to play games, on what is in the current year likely to be their primary if not only computer, that's already a market segment of 500 million. It wouldn't honestly surprise me if the number is closer to 15 or 20%, mobile gaming is extremely popular.
