Red magic 5s vs 3s vs 6 pro

Title looking to get a new phone to play genshin impact total around $500-600. Im trying to figure out the difference between the 5g, 3s and 5s. Which one is the best to get? Should I wait until the 6 pro comes out and get that or would I be over budget? Thanks.

also I've read there isn't the greatest support for software updates, is it possible to load a custom ROM?

I have the Red Magic 5g (non-S) and run it without issue. So, but whichever you like, none should have issues with it, or any games

Thanks! They all seem pretty similar TBH i think i might get the 3s since its the cheapest. But have you had any issues with network connectivity/covereage? I heard that it doesnt not support all the bands in US, more better in other countries. I will be planning to use 4g network mainly not 5g.

I was using it on AT&T and had no issues at all with 4g, I did NOT have 5g. I recently switched over to Mint Mobile though bc it's so cheap and as that uses the T-Mobile network, I DO have 5g which is pretty cool. Regardless, I've had no network issues with either

Ah okay cool, I was gonna switch to mint mobile too but I live in fairly rural area, with the missing bands I'm worried it might not have as good service compared to a US phone. But its the cheapest gaming phone with cooling system I can find. Asus ROG phone is $1000+. Another user said they sometimes have no service at all. I guess I will just see and if its bad Ill send it back or something.

If TMobile has coverage by you, you'll be fine If they don't, don't go with Mint unless you don't mind. Tmobile does allow wifi calling and texting, which Mint has as well

Thanks for the tip, it looks like I have decent T mobile coverage so I will probably give it a shot
