    Guys, rate it 4.7 out of 5 stars because it has "two" headphone jacks. 1 for the usual, the other one with the peripheral solves the problem of headphones gaming in horizontal format. For $800, this is the most complete phone ever. I would be sad if this is the last most complete phone will ever be made for 2019 and beyond.

Very rare android game is a True HD, only PUBG and others. Most android games are Can be run with cellphones priced under $ 200 Like pokemon go, AoV, Clash royale and Even PUBG can also be in a medium set. That's most people playing.

                in theory, Asus ROG phone with gamevice looks decent, but how much will they charge? US$150 ? which is almost 3 times price of ps4 dual shock 4, if at price, few people will buy it.

                the game dock is interesting, if it supports full streering wheels and flight sticks or even a proper joystick, that would impressive

                  People are commenting that this would not be successful in India. But on FLIPKART it is already sold out at the time of writing. It is shown as coming soon.

                  Asus have done great job , the pricing is very correct. It is much cheaper than Pixel 3 and iphone xs and xs max. It is also cheaper than cheapest new iphone XR.

                    LG Superfan, 17 Dec 2018Finally The True Gaming Phone is being reviewedThis truly is The Best Phone of 2018.
                    It is truly a No Compromise/Cutting-Edge product for this year. In my books its better than the Note9, especially if you have some of the accessories. However, I must say the S9 Plus does give it a run for its money since it launched almost an entire year earlier, and is now around 35% cheaper than the RoG. The OnePlus 6t can go cry in the corner.

                    The one thing I think RoG is missing out, is that the new Xiaomi BlackShark now has Two-Removable JoyCon's. And its, Literally, the first Android device in the world with a POCKETABLE gamepad. The gamepad you can get with the RoG Phone has to go into your purse/backpack as its too large, and this includes other controllers like the GameSir T1s as well.

                        LG Superfan, 17 Dec 2018Finally The True Gaming Phone is being reviewedI was not impressed. Tried to upgrade from op6 to rog phone. Ended up sending rog phone back. Camera was surprising though, on a gaming phone. Even better than op6.

And a silicone cover from tpu, is actually faster to remove if you are using the fan accessory. You also need to remove the cover anyway, for the gamepad?

And what other brands did you try to compare with? I returned my rog, before 14 days and got full refund. There isn't room for unstable ping in moba games.

I believe it depends on the network connection I guess idk but both on my phones (other one is Zenfone 5Z) is just doing fine. And about the plastic case, yeah sure its plastic, but the logic behind it being in 3 pieces it is because of the external fan. With the case, you cannot attach the external fan for you to use it as well as have its extra feature where you could connect the port for you to charge as well as the earphones/headphones but rather you needed to remove the middle part of it to be able to. I hope this rests your case.
