minus-squarealmost1337@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·13 hours agoInteresting, especially because in my research the latest ROG phone had better than the equivalent RedMagic.
minus-squaremi@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·12 hours agoWhat about the price? I had ROG phone 2 before I changed to red magic due to the massive price difference (1500 ROG 8 vs 800 Red magic 9). It can have all the ‘coolest features ever’ but its not worth almost twice as much as the competitor when the processor is the same
minus-squarealmost1337@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 hours agoThe combination of hardware features, software features, and build quality were worth the $1200 for the pro over the $800 red magic or $1000 base rog phone.
