Anonymous, 18 Mar 2019An iPhone is a much better gaming smartphone than this.Buy one expensive iphone that limits you in every way possible or buy 2 phones that have as good or even better hardware and have no limits. And a lot bigger player base then apple has.

      An iPhone is a much better gaming smartphone than this.

        ApplePen, 18 Mar 2019Still expecting headphone jack in 2019? like seriously ? i... moreYep, still expecting those things in 2019, and will be expecting those things until 2025, or maybe even further ahead.
        Why?
        Because of the ease of use they provide. Wired headphones don't need a charge, so you use them whenever you want, not just when you charged them. And no need to remember to charge another accessory. Plus, they have much better value to performance ratio. You can get wired headphones playing as good as the wireless ones for a third of the price. And if your device has a decent DAC, no software additions will be better than solid hardware.
        And the microSD cards. I have an entire collection of my music there. It takes about 50 gigs. When I buy a new phone I transport it in 10 seconds. It would take an eternity to transfer over USB 2.0, which this phone has.

        Honestly, people should stop dropping their good stuff, just because something newer came in. Drop in when something better comes in and so far some things have not been better.

          Still expecting headphone jack in 2019? like seriously ?
          its already gone since 2016. There are already good wireless headphones in the market nowadays.
          This device supports apTX .
          and no SD card ? really? it already have 256GB on board , and there are no games in the store that eats a hell lot of space in your phone.

              Anonymous, 18 Mar 2019vivo iqoo is the way to go, it has 3.5mm audio jack and it ... moreriiiiiiiiggghhht.. but thanx to funtouch os I can avoid it everyday..

                Anonymous, 18 Mar 2019All serious gamers are using Bluetooth headsets for optimal... moreAll serious gamers are using wires for no latency and no need to charge your accessories. And you can stream games from your pc and console to your phone if you want to. So, both of your arguments are invalid.

                  no NFC, NO infraport, no wide angle camera, no wireless charging.. hmm thats missing much.. and at least no headphone jack and sd cards (again after all)

                      nik.007, 18 Mar 2019Dynamic Amoled is nothing but a marketing term used for a "... moreTo achieve HDR10+ the hardware needs to support the extended dynamic range. Which I think is the opposite of what your said? :)

                        Love the Community, 18 Mar 2019Sad Life... Thanks Peter. I'm glad Xiaomi is making full us... moreWell with this back lightning it's actually more Dynamic than Samsungs advertising. In a generation or two we will also get Q Dot probably.

                                Gaming phone and no 3.5mm headphone jack?

                                  I really like the small, symmetrical bezels, looks perfect. I really hope the back doesn't have any glass in it.

                                  Overall, a very nice phone. Not only for gaming.

                                    Cool design, a plus for not having a silly NOtch, but:
                                    - No SD card slot
                                    - No 3.5mm jack
                                    - USB 2.0 (3.0 and 3.1 out there)
                                    Why is this a gaming phone again?

                                      I think the right phone is better imo. It has dual front firing speakers and and a headphone jack
