A gaming phone with excellent performance, a gorgeous 144Hz display and two-day battery life, but weak cameras and short update support make it mainly for dedicated mobile gamers.
A powerful, flat-backed gaming phone with a 144Hz panel, strong battery and fast performance, held back by durability, connectivity and camera shortcomings. Good value at $649.
Flat back with no camera bump; distinctive gaming look
Top-tier performance and sustained gaming with built-in fan
