To me all these top gaming phone is a waste of money how many triple AAA games are on the play store that you spend 1200 dollars
If you want a handheld gaming
Get yourself handheld device like Asus rog ally
Which cost 700 dollars it can handle the most powerful games runs on Windows 11
If you you working on a budget Get yourself
Nintendo switch oled which is very okay
Use the remaining money and get yourself top midrange smartphone like poco f3 Pro
