Screen: if you mostly use your phone with a single hand go for a small screen - preferably 5 inch -  otherwise, you can go for a bigger one. If you are a game freak and love watching loads of videos, go for a bigger one only. If you are a multitasker and love gaming, go for Snapdragon 820 + 4GB RAM at least. You'd love iPhone 6 and above versions also to fulfill your these requirments. Go for a decent battery - 3000mAh or higher - but with quick charge. Go for 32GB or above storage; 16GB won't suffice your needs for a long time; even if you're on cloud all the time.

Also, you need lots of free RAM. So opt for at least a 2GB RAM device. HD display would suffice, but yes, you can take your games to the next level will more added pixels, but that will drain your battery too soon. Battery too plays a very important role in a good gaming phone. A good backup is must and that too with quich charging.
