The first iPhone on our list is the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which features the largest display and the best processor for Zenless Zone Zero.

The iPhone 15 Plus is another great large-screen option and is available at a more affordable price compared to the Pro Max.

ZZZ would be a visual treat to play on the large 6.7" Super Retina XDR display. Moreover, the OLED panel enhances the colors even more and could be one of the best in terms of mobile devices.

Pros:

  • The A16 Bionic chip is super powerful for demanding games
  • Has a large OLED screen size that provides a more immersive experience
  • It is a cheaper alternative to the 15 Pro Max

The iPhone 14 is a solid mid-range option if you're looking to play ZZZ on a mobile device. While it is two years old at this point, the phone still packs a punch with its A15 Bionic processor and 6GB unified memory. This allows for smooth and steady gameplay without any lags or stutters of any sort.

The display is comparatively similar to the 15 Plus and Pro Max, except it is a little smaller than the latter.

The iPhone 13 is sort of similar to the 14 models in terms of processor, display, and camera, but features slightly less RAM and battery life.

The iPhone SE is the most affordable option on the list, featuring the same A15 Bionic chip you see on the iPhone 13 and 14 models. You get 4GB RAM, so it is more or less very similar to the 15 in terms of performance. The display size, unfortunately, can be quite small and can be a bit of an issue if you have large hands.
