* BEST Gaming phone
EDITORIAL: The Pro version of ROG 9 comes only in black. It offers more mini-LED dots on the back (648 vs 85) then ROG 9 (see listing above) and replaces the macro lens with a proper 32MP OIS PDAF telephoto. It has a 1TB, 24GB RAM version too b but otherwise matches the ROG 9 in physical build, processor, memory, battery, charging, screen, gaming tech and (only 2 year) OS support.

EDITORIAL: Xiaomi's T line comes about 6 months after their flagship series and brings a scammer down flagship version with a more attractive price. These phones are usually great and the 15T Pro continues along that path.
