Get yourself a Honor Win, it is a better phone. The camera on Red magic is definitely sacrificed for the performance. If you're going the 16gb of ram, might as well buy the Honor Win, it has better overall camera quality for the same performance. If you're buying the 24gb variant of the Redmagic, might as well buy a damn computer. Overall, the Honor Win is better in my opinion. But if you want to sacrifice the camera quality for a performance heavy phone, go ahead.
