                [deleted post]Thanks to chamfer frame instead of usual fillet they were able to remove 1mm on the side. Better for grip too. Don't know how all round frames even became so widespread as it's an ergonomic disaster.

                                    if P40 launch without at least 90hz, that will be big mistake.
