        AnonD-932544, 16 Jun 2020I mean, they toned gaming vibe down a little which is great... moreIt looks ugly , even the iphone looks better than it . come o the new design is ugggly even for non gaming device looks

          wait...how is this an upgrade ?
          smaller battery, no headphone jack,
          oh wow... 144hz screen because that measly 120hz screen is so outdated in 2020.
          the rog2 12/512 variant that i have already has 30W charging, and that 4gb of extra ram wont make a difference to 16gb, just as the 12gb didn't make a difference for my version with 12 instead of 8.
          The only reason i got this version was for the 512gb storage compared to the regular 128 version.
          64mp camera compared to 48...The camera was never the main focus of this phone. It will still be average, even with an 108 sensor.
          aside from the new chipset (because we all know that the sd855+ cant handle gaming and daily tasks in 2020) why would anyone buy this ???

            Vegetaholic, 20 Jun 2020Lol, you muppets 144 ir 120 you NOT going to see difference... moreGsmarena, Mr. whosetheboss, and others already acknowledged difference between 144hz and 120hz.
            Although 120hz is the sweet spot until processors become capable of churning out 240fps frames in AAA titles.

You can also have a life along with it, or is that too hard for you muppet?

                Mediatek sux, 17 Jun 2020Oh if i had 144 id use it for the smoother ui over 120.Lol, you muppets 144 ir 120 you NOT going to see difference, only your battery will die faster :D smoothnes of UI :D 60hz already smooth for UI, you need to have a life people :)

                            Couldn't imagine spending big money on a gaming phone only to end up playing a casual game (subway surfer ) in 144hz

I guess you could just set the display to 120 to save battery. Would wait and see a gsmarena review for the battery life though.

                                  The rog 2 also supported 30w charging, just that the cheaper version came with an inbox 18w charger. It made a 30 min difference.

But if u own the Rog 2. You probably won't notice a difference because though the battery's smaller, the phone has a even more power efficient SOC.


                                      it's rumoured to have 144hz but barley any games support it, from what I know it's Real Racing 3 and honkai impact 3rd. Don't think that because the phone has an option to enable 144hz that all your games will play in it . You can enable 144hz mode but if u play cod mobile or pubg you'll be playing it in 60hz because them 2 games only support 120hz MAX
