      the only problem with gaming phones with snapdragon 888 and 8 gen 1 is life span, most gaming phone with 855 and 845(rog 1 2,bs1 2) died from prolong usage of high temp it weakens the ic chip and make the solder connection broken, add another problem that 888 and 8 gen 1 is hotter than 845 and 855 also def will kill your battery life span faster

        the 5 pro is basically a redmi k50 gaming with upgraded camera and a bit bigger vapor chamber (roughly 10% area) , anyway the review on k50 gaming edition sustained performance is a bit meh ,except if xiaomi unlock performance on this phone

          No headphone jack... how am I going to play then, in short session before either battery dies? Using crappy USB-C headphones, or worse yet, a dongle? And how do I play while using headphones and having a charger plugged in?

          Oh, wait, yes! I just use a Switch, which has a 3.5mm jack!

                    Mobile gaming is the best. To be able to hold a gaming device like a hand held console pad is awesome. More immersive than some keyboard and mouse.

                        Besides. I love mobile gaming. I am a gamer. And when I come 1st place. You understand why. And yes. These phones are like little power gaming laptops. In your pocket.

                          Xiaomi please make that 120 GaN charger with US and EU plugs as well! 🙏 The RS isn't much of a looker but the other 2 are some of the best looking gamer-centric products I've ever seen. I'm not much of a mobile gamer nor do I like big phones, but I still love what Xiaomi / Black Shark / Tencent have done here. The prices are also quite reasonable.

Playing shooters on a phone's screen with touch controls, really? And they call themselves gamers? Just spoiled children, with nothing better to do. If you really want to enjoy gaming buy yourself a big monitor and a PC/PS/Xbox, the pleasure of gaming will be much better.

At least the latter use their devices to its full capability. Meanwhile, just a few years ago, we still had Apple users defending the 16gb storage lmao.

With makers charging sky high prices for measly internal storage, complaints about sd cards, Android's silly treatment with expandable storage etc, this might pave the way for new games.
                                      Go buy a non gaming phone and leave this to the actual gaming crowd.

                                        WOW XIOMI...NO 7 INCH VERSION......YOU IDIOTS COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL.... I mean there's a reason why you can't find the black shark 3 pro for under $1500 on the Internet...... It's one of the most sought after phones 7.1" active triggers decent screen Resolution unlike most of these other gaming phones which are all garbage. And yes if somebody has when I will gladly trade you my note 20 ultra for it
