Therefore as long as you're not squinting at the screen from 20cm away or you have perfect vision, you shouldn't really be able to tell the difference.
Here is my source: http://www.transvideointl.com/assets/TechDensity_Mobi92620.pdf
Also, a higher resolution needs more power, therefore shorter battery life, and you don't want to be gaming while charging, as long as you're using bypass charging which is kind of useless if you actually want to charge your phone and not have it just stay on the same percentage, as it creates a lot of excess heat which degrades the battery much faster. its a balancing act with tech and I can't blame Asus for putting a 1080p display on this device, as gamers look for higher refresh rates instead of resolution anyway, look at the amount of affordable 144/165hz 1080p 24" monitors on the market that are marketed towards gamers, and these have an even lower pixel density, at about 90-100ppi as the pixels are more spread out across the screen, granted you do view a monitor further away then you do your phone, but my point still stands.

1080 is garbage and is unforgivable in 2021, how old is the G-S4 now? How old is the G-S5 active now? (1440) I could care less if its 144hz, can't barely tell the difference from 90 to 144, IF the gpu CAN keep up. The only reason I go a little easy on ROG not having a 3.5mm is because at the very least you can still charge and listen thanks to dual USB.
It needs at least a 1440 90hz edge-to-edge screen to even be as good as a 18 month old OP7. Just remove the front camera altogether for all I care

AnonD-973296, 22 Feb 2021i find it a waste of space, but good job Asus anywayDefinitely wouldn't call the 3.5mm audio jack a waste of space. I already grew tired of using the adapter dongle, and I definitely don't want to embrace wireless audio anyway. So this is definitely a welcome return.

so there is hoping that gsmarena has not updated this specsheet... 2k display in an amoled is ideal...

Maxi, 20 Feb 2021Why there is no headphone jack?, smartphone gaming need hea... moreIt doesn't need one because the speakers really are that good. I have the rog 2 ultimate edition and I don't need headphones at all. I even listen to binaural beats on speaker. When I play games I can even hear things behind me. They designed it to basically be a personal surround sound system. Only reason I'm not considering this phone is A my phone is only a year old and I have no problems with it B there is no 1TB version and C this phone just doesn't seem like a big enough upgrade from my current phone to condone it.
