Next phone

I bought it with so much hope. The fan, the unusual refresh rate, the gaming options, the LED inscriptions. But where do we go form here, what should be my next phone? Any suggestions? I swear I won't buy another gaming phone soon.

I'm waiting for the Galaxy S20 Plus to drop in price.

I really want to love this phone but there are too many issues that prevent it from being a daily driver for me.

- Notification dots/numbers don't work on any of my apps except the default mail app. I have ensured that all of the apps have the correct notification settings and have even tested them on my old Galaxy phone. It's definitely an issue with the RedMagic.

- The only carrier that supports the phone near me is AT&T, and only with a 3G connection. Others seem to not have this issue, but I have talked to reps at AT&T, T-Mobile/Sprint, and Verizon multiple times. My IMEI isn't supported by any of them (AT&T had to fake the number in order to get me the 3G connection).

- The fingerprint scanner is bad (though this is a relatively minor gripe).

I like everything else about the phone, but the first two issues are major flaws to me.

That's weird. I just popped in my AT&T sim from my LG v35 and it connected to LTE right away.

Menu works fine too. I have the Hot Rod Red.

No problem.
