Magnaroader, 08 Oct 2020All these people praising Gaming phones meanwhile I'm ... moreGo look up games like Genshin Impact, Sky Children Of Light and SEA Dragon Raja. Just because you aren't aware of the quality of games out there on phones right now and the level of complexity and graphics available in those games, doesn't mean they don't exist and that there is no need a for a gaming phone. I have a OnePlus 7T, which hardware wise is as more powerful as Rog Phone 2, but it overheats after like 10 mins if I play any of those games at 60 fps in high settings, which doesn't happen to the Rog Phone because of better cooling and other optimisations.

What a clown. If we tell the games nonetheless, the low iq hater (or more likely and probably, an iFanboyz) like you will still find an excuse to deny their capabilities

        Anonymous, 08 Oct 2020I don't understand why people still whining about how ... moreOR maybe it is about gaming phones having numerous advantages over other phones such as no holes/notches, flat display, 3.5mm Jack, large battery and so on which are part of the most requested features that most phones don't provide and while wanting this a person could also be into photography and want the full suite that most other flagship provide.
        But apparently you know more than myself what I want.

        "And you can even install gcam to capture a even better picture."
        Say the one who have absolutely no idea how smartphones camera work, a little info for you, the ONLY app that can use 100% of the smartphone camera potential is the one provided with it, regardless how good/bad the app is, you'd need an app specially designed for each phones in order to enable anything else than using the main camera at default settings.
        I have a gaming PC, and I use its extra power for more than just gaming, when I code I am happy it can compile quickly, when I run virtual machines I am happy it have lot of RAM, when doing any kind of rendering or using 3D softwares I am happy it have a powerful graphic card.
        The idea of "it is a gaming phone, therefor it should only be good at gaming" is the stupidest thing out there.

        I don't even want gaming on my smartphone, gaming smartphones are just the only one who provide good features/design.

        I'd pay extra to have a phone that match my desires.
        "You have a lot of choices and you can freely choose a phones that suits your preferences."
        Seriously ? So where is my Pop up + 3D facial recognition + ultrasonic FPS phone then ?
        Where is my phone without front camera ?
        Where is my phone with 12Mp+ Wide, 16Mp+ Ultrawide, 8Mp+ Portrait, 8Mp+ Macro, 12Mp+ ToF ?
        Where is my phone with tactile display on the sides AND flat main display ?
        Imagine a gaming PC that is bad at running other softwares, it would be amazingly stupid, it is like saying we should either have a large and underpowered car that struggle to get uphill or a Supercar that have no room for more than 2 and little trunk and no other options in between.

        There isn't any choices, all phones are the same, too many with curved display, almost all with notches and holes, they are all more or less the same with minimum changes between each others, I've said that for months and this is exactly what LG said too when presenting the LG Wing.

        I love how peoples like you who are the one complaining about any idea/suggestions peoples make and therefor are literally enforcing a single design option are also the one saying "the world doesn't revolves around you", because you have many phones matching your tastes while pestering at peoples who ask for mode diversity in order to have something matching their own.
        That's because of peoples like you that there is no diversity, lack of innovation and slow improvements in the smartphone market.

            hi friends,
            how to deliver my voice,all this high specs goes for nothing!
            android games are weak SO after awesome performance of windows on arm (surface pro x),the only solution to take advantage of this high specs is release "arm windows gaming phone".
            how to communicate with Qualcomm to realize this important info??????

                  Also technology needs to be invented first then the utility will come afterwards

                  We shouldn't be reactive with technology but proactive

                  At one point lasers were considered useless

                    Anonymous, 08 Oct 2020I don't understand why people still whining about how ... moreThe camera on ROG3 is even better than ROG2.
                    sure it lacks some of the frills/sensors/whatever that "camera centric" flagships have, but even so the quality is absolutely good.

                    If you want the best camera stuff -> there will be 3-4 phones out there which are for you. You want airtriggers or great speakers, well.. there's kindof only ROG (at least with a decent stock rom).

                        If they do that it will be the most powerful phone in the universe. It will easily surpass the Bionic chip which will be left in the dust.

                          KondriX, 08 Oct 2020How can this be considered 'own gaming smartphone'... moreIt might be same arrangement as Google had for Nexus devices.
                          Qualcomm can manage the SOC Optimization and Asus can manage the other Software bits. Both can pitch in for design. Besides, Qualcomm can include its own tech in various components from QC 5 to ultrasonic FP.

                            Anonymous, 08 Oct 2020Best comment for all those haters out there. no he's true
                            if you won't have more than one phone
                            buying gaming phones as a daily driver is unnecessary

                              It must have RGB in the SOC ....

                                  Where are all of the games that utilise more than 1gb ram or all those GPU cores?
                                  Lol

                                      The will be atleast 1000 times more powerful than current silicon processors.

                                      Hopefully this happens in the next 10 years.


                                      IBM and Samsung have already made processors with Graphene Transistors which clock upto 400Ghz in initial tapeout.

                                      Just unbelievable.
