      1. Gamer just don't really care about camera
      2. some gamer choose to have "gaming focused phone" because of budget, and you can't have everything. Everything = make phone bigger, Everything = make phone expensive
      3. Some rich gamer just have 2 phone, one for gaming, one for picture

      if you rant about this, you won't buy any of the gaming phone anyway. You just regular joe

              Not gonna be that guy, but isn't 24GB RAM... Overkill?

              maybe it'll become the norm in 2030, we'll see...

                  AnonD-454049, 05 Jul 2023Only useful if the soc and software can leverage itTHIS! With such a vast amount of RAM, we should have no problem natively running desktop Linux distro on the phone and have a real ChromeOS experience through the second screen.

                    Although its specs are incredible and relatively cheaper than the rog phones, I still have doubts. What turns me off the most is the screens are china-made which can break easily and then some OS language can't be translated well to English like in Red magic 8 pro did for their UI

                    But I'll watch out for reviews and more opinion pieces to see what's up

                        When this website posts the review, we will be reading that again phone limits to 60 or 90fps few games that run at 120 on other phones.

                        😂😂😂😂😂

                          You see Asus, to play you don't have to pay your ridiculous prices!!! this is far better than the rog phone

                            I guess if you never plan on using its cameras, this phone is for you.

                              So, how many years the os and security support for these red magic devices? Does anyone know?

                                Red magic team may need to consider making toroidal fan blades to improve the efficiency of the fans

                                  David 040882, 05 Jul 2023Ok but 24GB RAM? That is PC hardware With Virtual Machine a thing now in Android you need as much ram as possible. Soon Emulating windows game will be reality.

                                    Lack of card sllot (yeah, they needed to sell the 1Tb version lol) is mitigated by the presence of the 3.5mm headphone jack. Wired audio >>> BT for gaming.

                                    Sooooo close.

                                      The best phones ever for gaming.
                                      I have the Red Magic 7S Pro Mercury 18GB+512GB and the Red Magic 8 Pro Void 16GB+512GB, and now I'm going for the Red Magic 8S Pro Aurora 24GB+1T.
                                      They have great support for older devices, as I keep getting updates for the global versions.
