Good phone, too bad its a Chinese brand.

Redmagic is owned by Nubia. If there is something I would never do is get a Chinese branded phones. Wouldn't touch them with a 10m pole.

Why not? Some of the easiest bootloaders to unlock in the smartphone market are in chinese phones.

Because China is bad about backdooring everything.

ROG Phones are better, however the neglected quality of ASUS products has affected a lot of customers.

Can you give more details please?

Not sure what quality issues you are talking about here.

After I watched JayzTwoCents video about ASUS, I feel I want to skip the brand, prompting the ROG Phone quality in the future to be similar to Chinese OEMs'.

If this has all the US bands I'd be all over it.

Not the prettiest, but it doesn't have a hole punch and no camera bumps.

The RGB could go, too. Maybe that can be turned off?
