All the reviews praising this phone as being one of the best for gaming are legitimate. The graphics are stunning, and the hardware is almost more comparable to a gaming laptop than a phone. It was very easy to set up, and so far I haven't found anything I haven't been able to do.
Pros:
-The hypercharge is as fast as advertised. Excellent in case you forget to charge your phone before going out and only have a few minutes to plug it in.
-It has a headphone jack!!!
-The speaker quality is so good you may not want to use headphones.
-No issues with call quality or consistency.
-It comes equipped with an app that lets you adjust settings within specific games, ie refresh rate and call acceptance.
-The cameras are very high quality. There's a nice variety of settings, aspect ratios, and resolutions available via both hardware and software.
-Very little bloatware compared to my last phone.
-It can run basically everything (yes, including Genshin Impact!)
Cons:
-Reviews online talk up the battery life as lasting 2 days. Maybe true if you're not actually using it, but if you're actively gaming expect closer to 6 hours before it needs a charge.
-Each version of this phone supports different bands. This can cause some problems depending on where you are.
-This model is GSM only.
-This is the tencent games version of the phone. It isn't an issue for me, but my understanding is this can cause problems trying to root or use bootloaders.
-Physically, the phone is very long with a unique aspect ratio. Can be tough to fit into women's pockets without hitting buttons, though I've managed with all of my clothes so far.
All in all, I highly recommend this phone to a standard user who wants to play games and make calls on a GSM network. I've had it for about a week now and have not been disappointed. I'll update this review if that changes.

Amazing phone as it's predecessors but a battery flaw?
Been daily using the phone for almost three months now. Everything is just as flawless as it's previous models until one night. I saw it at about 15 percentage of battery life and plugged it in, allot a sudden I was left with a black screen and a charging light won't show up or any sign of life. Perhaps it could be dealing with it's dual batteries, otherwise be careful with these phones.

The photo is just to prove I own the phone. The phone does everything great…. Except the main thing a phone is suppose to do. Make calls. People tell me there is a horrible echo on speaker. And I sometimes get dropped sound in regular calls. Of course this is a software issue. But avoid the phone if you plan to make this phone your daily driver. It’s a real shame cause I love everything about this phone. I would just go with the a Samsung or main player phone . I use to love the idea of gaming phones but lack of updates and just weirdness of some of these quirky phones has burned me one two many times. Stick with Samsung or apple. Or google you are promised updates for a very long time.
