I personally don't take lots of photos or videos or even wanna risk my phone in water or let it fall from my hands so all those protection isn't necessary for me. 8 gen 3 should run most games and apps at their max just fine provided some cooling is implemented..NEO 10 is good for me considering the difference in price
