For the price they're asking BOTH the mandatory audio jack and USB-type-C-port MUST be gold-plated! ;-)

Anonymous, 11 Nov 2018i agree! completely!
i dont understand not even one OEM...... moreNot to mention the most basic feature of a cell-phone. A simple system that shows that you have a missed call or text, via a notification LED or AOD (like Nokia's Sleeping screen or on android No-LED or similar) WITHOUT users needing to unlock their phone's screen.
I bet that if GSMArena would calculate the average time a user (needs to) unlocks their screen that the battery usage figures would be totally different than what they have now!
Now they only do some media-playback, some surfing time, some standby but don't take into account how many times a user unlocks their screen to see if they missed something.
If you activate your screen, let's say 20 or 30 times a day, what does that do to your battery-life?

Most Important thing of a gaming smartphone is Battery. For a gaming smartphone there should be
1. Atleast 6100 mah battery not 4000mah.
2. a Larger Display like 6.5 or 7 inch Amoled Display with 1080x2160 resolution.
3. Stereo Speakers. They can use earpiece as a 2nd speaker.
4. 6GB/128 GB Memory, Snapdraon 845 or higher.
5. And a printed (any sponsored game's) rugged back cover with display corner protection.
Like if you agree..

Asus ROG phone is miles ahead of Xiaomi Black Shark even though Black Shark costs lower. The differences are COST & number of cellular bands used for both phones. ROG phone has a 3.5mm jack as STANDARD. For Black Shark, not present. ROG phone, however does not have a microsd slot just like Black Shark. ROG phone has 2 USB-C ports, Black Shark only has 1.
PS: Asus ROG phone could have been a perfect phone had it included microsd slot as STANDARD.

Rex Tech, 10 Nov 2018We already have it here (Europe) for a month now.Nobody is ... moreThe reason why no one is buying is because other high-end flagships are doing way better in aspects like the quality of the display, the camera. Other than the gaming things that they sprinkle on it, what else is there that it excels? Nothing. Plus, who wants to bring a smartphone with gaming aesthetic to work? The normal high-end flagships got u covered in this, suitable for both work and gaming, though they may have some touch screen nuisance. In my opinion, it ain't worth it to buy a gaming smartphone right now, there are quite a number of compromises here. Heck, I wouldn't even consider gaming smartphones "gaming", the chipset is still the same as other normal high-end flagships, the RAM doesn't have any speed advantages over normal high-end flagships, though in theory the liquid cooled, vapor cooled, whatever they called it is better in cooling, I've seen some videos where something like the RAZER Phone 2 is overheating whereas other normal high-end flagships are not, so the theory might be wrong. These brands making "gaming" smartphones should look at gaming laptops, how are they like, and what form of upgrades do they have over normal laptops
