In our review, the Xiaomi gaming smartphone Black Shark 3 Pro has shown itself to be a very strong offering for a fairly cheap price, at least for current standards. One question remains: Are gaming smartphones the real flagship killers in 2020?

Nope, they are not flagships killer.
Same spec under paper, but way worse, worse camera than flagship, not just slightly.
Combined with bigger body, gaming-ish design, they're definitely targeting particular niche market unlike those flagships.
I can say they are better because if you do have one of these the cameras have gotten pretty good, and so far Flagship phones only get their ideas from gaming phones for the simple fact that they are the ones that started the higher refresh rates, more ram and gigs...and are the ones experimenting with new ideas all the while the flagships are charging more for less... I can buy a pixel phone for cheap and get good pics...
Anything by Nubia is going to be garbage. It might seem good at first, but they'll quickly abandon it.
The refuse to update their devices, and even if you don't care about that, your Widevine security will be an L3.
