Asus is using a optimized Qualcomm adapter which is built only for the Asus's premium phones. I personally owns both 6z and 5z. The experience of both my phones is simply tremendous.

    Phonenut, 19 Jul 2020Shouldn't it have been supporting instead of sporting?... moreIt's actually correct using 'sporting'. It's a weird English word (if English isn't your first language, I understand the confusion).

      Shouldn't it have been supporting instead of sporting? Isn't this a typo?

          FlippyFlip, 19 Jul 2020While Flip camera may be amazing for selfies, full display ... moreBut flip camera (and basically all motorized ones) allow for privacy, which is WAY more important than ease of use or practicality.

          Plus, based on how quick the flip actually rotate, this is really bad faith at this point :

          Did you ever saw it in action before ?

          And to work well, the facial recognition should work with the camera on the back too, in which case you would simply filp your wrist and have it unlock.

            It doesn't make any sense to use both SD865 and SD865+ simultaneously for the same series, since SD865 is not cheaper than SD865+. However, it does make sense if you use SD865+ and SD775G simultaneously for the same series.

                  I'd prefer a high quality LCD panel over a cheap AMOLED Display. The AMOLED on my Redmi K20 sometimes starts flashing green and I'm unable to use the display, and it's a common issue. Also at low brightness, the blacks would appear to smudge when scrolling fast. Seriously, the high price due to AMOLED is not worth it if it's not high quality one. The always on display is cool at first but that's all about it.

Causes eyestrain due to low PWM, especially at low brightness. High refresh rate panels are pointless. Not many people care about these (look at Samsung and iPhone buyers). 120Hz panel in OP 8 Pro are subject to discoloration issues (reference from XDA Developers). Few would want a OLED panel that only lasts a year or two of constant usage.

                                    While Flip camera may be amazing for selfies, full display aesthetics, 'koolness', for face unlock it is a bad idea. I'd rather have thick bezels with sensors for instant unlock that a mechanical camera that takes full seconds to get in place for unlock. (It must allow face unlock from back of the phone, somewhat inconvenient but I'll still take it.)

                                    And OLED display is a must if the 'Pro' wants to compete with Oneplus or other smartphones. Not having an OLED is a major turnoff for many people even if the panel is plagued with problems. A lot of people use their smartphones at night and it really makes a difference there.

                                      6400 and 1600 is 64MP and 16MP. It's there for both models.

                                        I hope they give a lot of love to the regular and ultrawide camera. I don't need 120 hz screen, they can put that on their gaming phone instead. I just want a phone with good full featured cameras. I hope they put the budget for manufacturing the phone on the camera sensors. Asus already has their gaming line. They don't need to incorporate gaming features on this phone.
