I left iPhone 16 and bought a gaming phone – After the arrival of iOS 26, people all over the world started weaving new dreams about iPhone. The new Liquid Glass design, new iOS features, and Apple intelligence — everyone’s attention was focused on this. But I did the opposite.
Saying goodbye to the iPhone 16 completely, I made a gaming phone my daily driver. Yes, you heard it right – a gaming phone!
Now the question arises – is a gaming phone really good for everyday tasks or is it limited to gaming only?
So let’s know, how was my real experience?
1️⃣ Looks that stand out in the crowd
- Gaming phones look very unique. Transparent back, RGB lights and spinning fan – brother, people started asking which phone is this!
- When the iPhone 16 was placed on the table, no one even looked back, but this phone caught everyone’s attention.
2️⃣ Battery life – no worries now
- The iPhone battery was decent, but the gaming phone has changed the game.
- It lasts for 2 days easily.
- Charging? It goes from 20% to 80% while brushing teeth.
3️⃣ Speed — Like a turbo has been installed in the car
- 144Hz refresh rate + high responsive touch. Everything runs fast, smooth and without lag. The UI of the gaming phone is also customizable.
4️⃣ Speakers — Boombox in the pocket
- Sound so powerful that sometimes I listen to music at half volume. And yes, the 3.5mm jack is still there — reminds me of the old days.
5️⃣ Camera — the weakest link
- Selfie camera? Forget it.
- Main camera? Okay.
- If you are crazy about photos and videos, then a gaming phone is of no use to you.
6️⃣ AI — AI in name only
- iPhone has Apple Intelligence, Samsung has Galaxy AI, but gaming phones have only basic AI. There is a digital girl bot named Mora, but it is of no use.
7️⃣ Design – Looks awesome, heavy to hold
- The shape of the phone is exactly like a brick. If you wear a case, the look will be ruined, if you don’t, there is a fear of falling. It is heavy, but it feels like a show-off.
8️⃣ You will have to fear the heat
- The glue of the back glass of the phone peels off in the heat. Everything is fine in a cool place. It is important to keep it protected from dust and water.
9️⃣ Which phone was it?
- RedMagic 10S Pro – Gaming lovers will understand as soon as they hear the name. But it is not just special for gaming, it is also special for battery, design and performance.
🔟 Final Verdict
- If you are an Instagram lover or just live to take photos – keep the iPhone.
- But if you like speed, battery and unique looks – switching to a gaming phone is not a bad idea.
