The lifespan decider
When specs are close, support length decides it — this is what each phone costs per month of safe use.
Category by category
The 90 GT's screen is the better one — 6.7-inch amoled, 120hz, 2600 nits peak.
Performance is a wash — same chip tier.
The Magic 5 has the stronger camera system (3 real rear lenses vs 2).
Battery capacities are close enough not to decide this.
The Magic 5 is supported until Mar 2028 — 3 months longer than the 90 GT.
Pound for pound, these two are equally good deals.
