Am I missing something here? This is an entire phone dedicated to "gaming," but the iPhone 12's A14 Bionic destroys it in gaming performance. Not only that, the iPhone 12 has better battery life and weighs over 30% less, all as shown by your own Notebookcheck review. Why would anyone (that doesn't care about OS) pick this phone? And why would you rate it a plus in "strong performance" when it loses to a non-gaming phone?

Notebookcheck is great but this review is misleading at best, and anti-reader at worst.

Because 1. You're not gonna use Apple devices to play Android games 2. There's far more to gaming than just the frame rate 3. In any case no game utilizes the full performance of SD888 yet, Apple's just more overkill as usual.
I take it you're saying this because you never game.
