Another year of whatever workout plan Will is on and his traps will reach his ears

[ReonLeon]

Dayummm Will got a huge upgrade this video.

Missing phones: Poco F3/F3 GT, Blackshark 3, Lenovo Legion 2.

[JawadBsaileh]

I've seen many people compare the Mi11 lite 5g to the Poco F3 and as far as pricing goes the F3 just destroys the Mi 11 lite 5g with a faster chipset ( 870 vs 780) , high response time (3.6ms avg) and higher refresh rate (120hz) screen so where did it fall short against the mi 11 lite 5g? expandable storage ? camera experience ? or thermal throttling ?

Who made this list?
It should actually contain these models:
ROG Phone 5
Lenovo Legion Duel 2
BlackShark 4 Pro
Nubia Redmagic 6 Pro
Redmi K40 Gaming edition.

What about the OnePlus 9 Pro ?
For Gaming!

[laitchdasi]

I am following you since first days and the video quality the body language the lighting .. it all got really good
I want to say congratulations really good quality videos and yourself got really good at it! big thumbs up from and am already subscriber

[Molten]

These are all gsm right. I'm just making sure

[NathanChisholm]

While not new my Oppo Find X pro 2 With the SD 865 and 12Gb of ram still plays really well for an old phone!

[beidoumainforever]

So which one better take lenovo legion 2 pro or red magic 5s whit 16 gb ram ?

[zyanchuah]

Actually I would suggest that iPhone 11 in this series is not recommended. Wait for another 1-2 months the 12S/13 comes out and you can get the 12 for cheaper price :)

[theblacksorrow]

Lol so the Mi 11 lite made it to the list but not the actual gaming phone (Black Shark 4)? 😅 😅 I have the black shark 4 and it's a beast.

[my_j.a.r.v.i.s.]

Lenovo legion phone can also be considered

[darkknightviki]

What are the games are you playing? Wanna know the name of that dragon game!

[fga]

Anybody knows the name of the first game that appears in the video? Looks awesome

[junerealjayme]

What i like about GSMArena is that there videos are straight forward ❤️

[abdulaleemkhoso]

What about Xperia 1 iii
Low gamma raiser and new audio equalizer

[pantelisdalezios]

Imagine putting mi11 lite 5g rather than the much more gaming-aimed poco f3

[arcstar]

Black shark 4 is super nice too btw. Should have def been on the list, super cheap for what you get. Easily takes on the redmagic 6 / 6R, since redmagic feels quite cheap in the hands.
