          " Still don't understand why this soon! Original is not even 1 year old! Asus, you disappoint me.the first one was launched a bit too late, equipped with SD 845 where SD 855 is near. So, that's why ROG phone 2 needs to launch sooner before the chipset are outdated "

              So not for the ASUS RoG Phone 2, but maybe for v3. You need to have a silo for the Active Digitiser, which means changes to the display, and possibly to the body/internals if you want to slot it in. Unless, you take my advice by having each sold unit come with a Left-and-Right JoyCons in the box..... then you can make the silo inside the controller.

              I sort of feel, they need to design this phone symmetrically. That way you can pick up calls in any orientation. The only issue is that the Headphone Jack and USB-C can't be located on the Top or Bottom sides, as the JoyCons need to slide in there. So the ports will need to be either in the centre of the long-sides, which is great for the dock. Or the ports need to go close to the corner of the long-sides, so that when plugging-in a L-shaped Headphone Jack, there's less "bulging" happening inside a pant's pocket.

                some games require a stylus in order to play accurately. and it's annoying without

                  PLEASE have a built in stylus too.... and keep the headphone jack. ;w;

                      Still don't understand why this soon! Original is not even 1 year old! Asus, you disappoint me.

                        Expectations:
                        - Very expensive price (USD $900)
                        - Same tasteless back-design
                        - Overclocked QSD 855
                        - 120Hz AMOLED screen (6.4" 20:9, or 6.0" 18:9, or 5.5" 16:9)
                        - 4,200mAh battery (min 4,100mAh - max 4,600mAh)
                        - Great front-firing stereo loudspeakers
                        - Decent camera module from the ASUS ZenFone 6 (separate 13MP Selfie Cam)
                        - Headphone jack, and USB-3.1 TypeC


                        Requests:
                        - Better availability (first one was a mess)
                        - Proper bootloader unlock, kernel source, allow for root and Custom Roms (come on!!)
                        - microSD support (this is a must have for a "gaming" phone)
                        - proper IP68 water resistance/sealing certification (also a must have for luxury phones)

                        Requests that probably won't happen:
                        - Lower price (please aim it at the S10+ market price ~USD $700)
                        - Each phone comes with a gamepad in the box (why call it a gaming phone otherwise?!?)
                        - The gamepad is Two JoyCons that slip into the horizontal sides for easy stow-away
                        - Also have an optional landscape dock, that doubles as an Alarm Stand, TV Box, and PC Desktop mode dock
