But you DO undwerstand that THING has to LIVE inside an avarage sized sevice of 155x75x8mm phone, right? Those Desktop level SoCs are Massive. Even compared to the Ax series of Apple!

    AnonD-694886, 13 Apr 2018You actually can differentiate 60fps and 120fps.serusly?
    any way don't forget the app support

          Kind of an ugly design, and the screen won't beat the razer phone's screen. But probably still the better buy for the price and likely longer battery.

                AnonD-445642, 13 Apr 2018shame there are no good games on android...only cash grabbi... moreMore a shame that appstore have no free games.

                  I love the "massive" 4000 mah battery. 5000 would be massive, but 4000 is more standard for the right flagships.

                    Anyone that will buy this phone only to play Rules of Survival and PUBG Mobile?

                      Terrible design .. some what the back looks like Acer predator gaming tablet . Just 1 speaker?
                      Just normal phone with add on .. nothing else .. Prefer Razer phone over this.

                          just because it has to many ripoffs doesn't mean it doesn't have much game

                            Honestly I'm amazed by the price, regarding the specs (water cooling, SD845, 4000mAh, 12+20MP f/1.75 double snaper, MEMC image processor, etc.). Let's wait for a review to see how all of this well-priced package works.

                              can you see the difference between 60fps and 120fps? as a human being you can't plus it is a killer for GPUs
                              and don't forget that there is no 120fps supporting apps actually it is hard to find a 60fps game
                              and the hole 120fps are co developed with RAZER and razer is a HUGE gaming brand comparing to XIAOMI sub brand black shark and IGZO display is to expansive for a cheap phone so........

                                shame there are no good games on android...only cash grabbing monetized $hite

                                  taking it to the account that its gaming phone, battery is not really amazing, and I can guess that it will be default xiomi OS with just fancy theme, so no real changes to get nice battery time.

                                  And sadly we have 2018 and none of OEMs implement laptop-like power system where if device is plugged to charger it use it as main power instead of butchering battery using it and charging at the same time. It seriously hit battery life span when you use it heavily when its plugged. And games are one of most intensive thing you can do on phone that can drain out battery in less than 3-4 hours if you play seriously on it, no matter of phone model.

                                    narrow 18:9 screen not optimal for gaming or video

                                      No 120Hz, well looks like its just a regular gaming looking phone with huge battery and cooling. Kinda bummer.
