If you prioritize a unique, tall screen for multitasking and productivity, the LG DualUp might suit you, though its gaming and HDR capabilities are limited. On the other hand, the Nubia RedMagic is a better all-rounder offering superior gaming performance with high refresh rates, strong HDR support for vibrant media consumption, and detailed color accuracy for photo editing. However, it's slightly more expensive, and its productivity benefits are more traditional compared to the LG's unconventional aspect ratio. Give Feedback
