    What's the actual difference between "Neither" and "I don't want a gaming phone?"

        No one can beat the Deck as Valve makes up for the loss with the Steam store.

          The people who voted are those that spend 1000+ for a Fold or Iphone. Which they will use like a $400 midranger phone aka camera, social media and youtube.

            Samsung used to have removable batteries. I used to immediately replace the OEM battery with a 10,000Mah aftermarket battery from Zero Lemon. When Samsung went away from removable batteries, I dropped them and went to LG. Only going back to Samsung when LG stopped having removable batteries. I don't care about water proof. I don't care about the camera. I do care about the battery capacity. So I shop based on battery capacity. So the 6,000 Mah battery along with the other things I do care about, is more than enough to get me to buy another ROG(I had the ROG 3 before). In fact, the only reason I am using a ZFold, is for Samsung pay. Since it works fine with my Galaxy watch, I will be switching back to Asus when I next upgrade.

It may have a headphone jack and that alone will not make me go for this over Samsung. 8 gen 2 chips are very capable and runs very cool which can game for longer periods of time even on phones like OnePlus 11, speaking of which, like he said, buy a OnePlus 11 at half the price of ROG and a PS5 for the rest of the money, you'll get a phone that can game as well as Rog and a separate console for actual games.
              Resting place for thumbs alone does not justify the price.

                The biggest problem is mobile games are still filled with shitty games full of microtransaction and paywall

                      I never game but I'd still buy a gaming phone if that gives me a headphone jack and memory card slot together with a flagship chipset.

Does it have a headphone jack for ZERO audio latency? Does it have better cooling for sustained performance? Does it have bezels to ensure I have a spot for my thumbs? Does it have a gargantuan battery with over 30W of wired charging?

                          Sure, Samsung has better software and DEX but don't make it sound like ROG is completely inferior to that phone...

                            Overpriced phone, first party accessories based too, no active cooling, ugly bezels.

                            It also has inferior projection features unlike a built-in console mode of RedMagic devices.

                                        If the samsung s23 phones can run and play emulators perfectly then whats the reason for a gaming phone with no updates and security, shitty camera, probably a shitty UI, and so on. It has no purpose at all. If the s23 can run minecraft at 50k 1000000fps ray tracing and no problem. Then why get this ?
