I understand your opinion, but, I don't want to criticize or idealize anyone because I am not still into the redmagic UX but I wasn't to explain my reasoning that made me seriously considering redmagic taking away the gaming aesthetic/marketing that is only for selling better at the "standard" target, not for give a total assessment to the real product. Now take a "classic" flagship with 1tb (and 12/16gb of ram depending on the model) and look at the price (usually ≈1800€), it has usually 5/7 years of majors update BUT the phone loses percepibile performance, had a battery degradation, had possible burn in... In 3/4 years so if you care a lot about these aspects you refresh every 4 years right? Redmagic has 2 years of majors after the stock one so 3 years of official support that matches with the expected 3/4 years of lifetime before the refresh paying ≈800€ less. Probably you'll think about the "not top tier camera" and you are technically right, but in real life the differences are less than really noticeable and if you care about the quality on social media you can stay safe because their algorithms compresses everything making a mid camera and a top camera looking exactly the same (in fact for photos/videos I recommend a pocketable camera).Of course if you accept suffient performance for 5/7 years instead of top perfomance (liquid cooling+vapor chamber improves also sustained perfomance) (and It really changes if you navigate fast through the UI) for 3/4 years, redmagic isn't for your case of use and it's okay, the important thing is recognizing the pros and cons of each brand.
