Reviewers agree · 4 reviews
Suits buyers wanting a well-rounded phone at $499 with long battery life, a bright screen and seven years of updates. Trade-offs are slow charging, a plain design, and weaker cameras or zoom compared with pricier Pixels.

Suits buyers wanting a light, cheaper RedMagic for gaming and enthusiasts, not hardcore gamers. Trade-offs include weaker cooling, missing Pro features, average cameras, and, per Android Police, laggy non-game performance and a faulty fingerprint reader.
