    The best choice for serious mobile gamers, offering top performance, liquid cooling and great battery at a price undercutting flagships.

    An absolute powerhouse gaming phone with stellar battery and display, let down by a poor selfie camera and bold design.

    NotebookcheckHands-on review · 2025

    Top-tier performance and gaming features with no notch or camera bump, but it runs very hot, the fan is loud and it lacks eSIM and Wi-Fi 7.

    Runs games better than any other phone tested with great screen and battery, though cameras are average and software support limited.

    A solid, powerful gaming phone at a reasonable price that stays cool, though cameras are only okay, fans are noisy and there is no dust protection.

    The value champion of gaming phones with the fastest chip, giant battery and wireless charging, offset by bulky design, ugly software and average cameras.
