im expecting for 160hz refresh rate to 180 if possible and higher resolution please, 2k or qhd should be enough we are tired of 1080p

      Better have the beefiest cooling solution in smartphone history to keep it from overheating.

        Anonymous, 17 Jan 2021Why not?cus usually they have 12 or 16bg of RAM like its predecessors dating back to the first one. the strix (lite) version is a more affordable version but still able to deliver same experience and that phone has only 8gb RAM

          What happened to zenfone max pro series 🥺🥺

It'll be really heavy, and unable to be used with one hand, or even both your hands. 6000mah is pretty enough, and hey, the 65w charging, or even 60w charging would be awesome. Being able to charge the full 6000mAh in an hour would be awesome. Nowadays we all want faster chargers, and bigger batteries. No one wants a 4000mah battery with 120w charging. I'd rather get a 6000mah phone with 65w charging, instead of a 4000mah with 120w.

              Holy Moly of batteries!

                Adlilou, 17 Jan 2021They say: (ROG Phone 4 will pack a dual-cell 6,000 mAh batt... moreProbably not but I am surprised to not see a gaming phone with a giant capacity (although the ROG 3 does have that second screen accessory that includes a battery).

                I actually wouldn't mind carrying a behemoth like that if it means 65W charging and super-lengthy sessions on a single charge.

                  Wow, grate, so original. Dude, I never sow something like this.

                    They say: (ROG Phone 4 will pack a dual-cell 6,000 mAh battery) that mean 12,000 mAh??

                      I wish ASUS would just read the market and answer the call for a Maximum Function phone. if Razer could make the Razer 2 phone waterproof, ROG can as well...AND return the headphone jack! minimum 12gb RAM, AND an SD card slot. slim the bezels as much as you like BUT keep FRONT FIRING STEREO SPEAKERS WITH CLASS LEADING BASS, CLARITY, AND VOLUME. give us full "layer cake" 5G reception. put on decent cameras for every lens, and some decent IP software. Follow through on Qualcomm's public pledge that ALL SD888 phones will be 4 years of security upgrades and 3 bumps in Android version .

                      do THAT, eliminate any styling flourishes that compromise ANY of that, and your phone will fly as the ultimate Android phone.

                      what's with flagship makers crippling their devices to upsell other equipment? why are people paying top dollar for blatantly compromised devices? is ASUS looking to become Sony?

                            [deleted post]No it's not "extremely powerful". 30W is 30W. It's basic electrical engineering. It's 6A at standard 5V charge voltage which no one does coz the current is too high and it would be 2,5A at 12V or 3,3A at more common 9V. That's just electrical part on the charger side. Then it's batteries acceptance of delivered power. You can just hurl it in and get superb times at expense of extreme battery degradation. Or you design a more aggressive charge curve where current drop is lower as battery charge is closing to 100%, again at expensive of battery life. Or you go with split battery approach as some have done where you can charge faster for longer due to lower temperatures and lower currents on each cell. You can't just charge battery from 0-100% with fixed 30W charge rate. It'll go with 30W up to maybe 75% if you go very aggressive and then dramatically drop as it's nearing 100%. Which is why everyone is bragging with 0-50%, because that's the zone where you can actually utilize 100% charge rate of whatever wattage charger you have. Which is why you can have 30 minute 50% charge and everyone is amazed by it and then you need another hour and a half to reach 100%, because charge rate drops so much after that point it can take 3x longer to achieve 100% charge.

                              Xiaomi with their Black Shark 4 and ZTE/Nubia with their Red Magic 6 should take notes.

                              As much as one prefer fast charging over regular charging, no one like to recharge his phone, the bigger the battery, the longer it last, optimizations are just a bonus on top of that which is the real physical potential.
                              And a gaming phone is the perfect example of something you want to last super long, gaming drain a lot of power, charging while playing cause a lot of heat, the cable is not practical while gaming because of how the phone is held, the user could want to use the phone during commute without having any outlet available or any battery.

                              Even if Asus didn't increase the battery capacity, they still plan apparently a big one for this ROG P4, at least they didn't decrease it...
                              No fast charging ever will be worth a smaller battery except the day we can virtually charge wirelessly anywhere on the globe.
                              Good job Asus!

                                DrakeX, 16 Jan 2021Finally, Asus is using a dual cell battery with support of ... moreBoth the rog2 and 3 supports 30W however.. devices sold outside of china and india had 30W in the box too.

                                  MagicMonkeyBoy, 16 Jan 2021I think it will be the 888+Overclocking the overheating 888 sounds like a disaster waiting to happen

                                    Good to see the lag phone gets upgraded.

                                      I want to own this

                                        [deleted post]In their review GSM Arena says a 50% charge takes a total of 35 minutes.
                                        "It had accumulated 83% at the hour mark, and a full charge took around an hour and 50 minutes."
