The "win" is overkill in my opinion, specially in this variant, the "rt" sounds awesome πŸ‘ 380 dollar for base version without useless futures for a gaming phone like wireless charging and telephoto camera, also the gen5 is not much better than normal 8 elite (typical Qualcomm move, you release a beast of chipset then next year just overclock and a little bit optimize it and so go on)

I get your point for a gaming phone, but calling wireless charging and telephoto cameras useless is a bit subjective, and newer chips usually bring efficiency and GPU improvements too, not just a simple overclock.
