Taiwan (Asus) wants be a seperate country and not to be considered part of China BUT they believe in the same superstition (4 is bad luck in China), they manufacture in China, etc.
So, they really are Taiwan, China.

Shady69, 19 Jan 2021never knew that 5 comes after 3So you are new to technology then?
I will share some more details so you won't get surprised in future.
After 8 comes 10, then comes 20.

4 is considered unlucky in China, apparently.
Edit: Replied to someone wondering why they skipped 4 and went straight to the ROG phone 5...

Why is it always 6,000 mAh? Why can't they make it a little bit bigger like 6,950 mAh or even 7,300 mAh? Like why

Shady69, 19 Jan 2021never knew that 5 comes after 3In many East Asian cultures, including China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, the number 4 is considered unlucky. If you step onto an elevator, you probably won't see a button indicating the fourth floor because most apartment buildings and hospitals skip the number altogether.

X User, 19 Jan 2021DMX, I guess they won't have IP rating due to the cool... moreGood for you if you live in a bubble with everything and a phone, but in REAL life, there are accidents. Another thing, if you are going to pay more than 900 dollars for a state-of-the-art phone, why not put everything that one of that category brings? that of the refrigeration is not more than an excuse to now get the certification, but if they charge you as if they will take it hahaha

X User, 19 Jan 2021DMX, I guess they won't have IP rating due to the cool... moreI myself spend a lot of my time on a boat fishing in the summer, camping and being outdoors generally. So I definitely look into a phone's IP rating before choosing.
I also don't understand the need to game on a phone, but that's just me.

X User, 19 Jan 2021DMX, I guess they won't have IP rating due to the cool... moreyeah, i dropped my rog phone 3 in water for like 1 sec and it permanently died. i don't recommend to pay 1k euros for a phone to stay with it in same room forever due to missing 'protection'. rip my rog phone 3. it survived 3 days, the 16gb ram version. i tried to repair it but the reparation cost was like the new phone. i recommend to stay away from gaming phones for normal/non same room forever use🐏
