Why would you remove ROG 9 PRO just because ASUS stops making phones now? It still doesn't change the fact that it's a damn good gaming phone that deserves the 2nd spot after Redmagic 11.

Not yet updated as of January 2026. They still list the Redmagic 9 series when it is already up to the 11 series. Also, the 11 series provided a serious upgrade, namely the Aquacore Liquid cooling, which I can personally say is not a gimmick as it works well based on my daily use.

I hope this gets updated. It's hard to find phones that doesn't get too hot after just watching videos.

I would say the S24 Ultra has a better gaming performance than iPhone 16

Shouldn't the Motorola Edge 50 Pro Ultra replace the Motorola Edge 40 Pro here? I can only assume that they don't put it because it would be better to buy a better phone with those prices, but I think it's decent to put a quote on why they don't put their latest version

Tecno camon 30 pro or premier should be here since it's cheap And has the dimensity 8200 ultimate and has a 50MP front camera and triple 50MP main cameras

Well, of course F4 GT has to still be on the list. There's no such gaming phone with physical gaming triggers that are newer than that, are there?

Last comment here about 2 months old - and there enter INFINIX GT 10 Pro - which I think beats down the included Samsung A52s and XIAOMI Poco 4 combined in this 2023 Buyers guide, even though tagged as 'value proposition'.

The new gaming smartphone only smartphone up too 16gb ram
The latest Lenovo legion y70 & Nubia red magic 8 pro+
Only up too a maximum of 16gb ram
The mediatek Asus ROG 6d has this same only 16gb ram problems
unlike last year's modals that had better screens and supported up too a maximum up 18gb ram
Most disappointing too see this happening in 2023 basically all of the new gaming smartphone are doing side grades not a nice way too upgrade
it would just be a lot better too extended production of last year's gaming smartphone as over time it gets cheaper too make the same device and last year's gaming smartphone are better designed also
A better price would be nice
