      Besides, Mi 11 has the worst thermal performance among phones sporting the Snapdragon 888.
      Rog 5 and other phones have no issues keeping a stable framerate around 60fps.

          Tech nerd 333, 11 Mar 2021Dude, i already admitted i was wrong. give me a breakSorry, I didn't realise the others had replied to you. But the fact is, I was talking about Zenfone 8 having a 5Ah battery with the same 65w charging brought from the Rog phone 5.

          Getting a full charge of the 5Ah in 40 minutes would actually be impressive. I got the Zenfone 6, and I'm fed up with the slow ass charging, as it takes 2 and a half hours to charge.

          Hopefully the phone arrives in September with an amazing main camera, snapdragon 888 with their version of cooling, spreading the heat away from the CPU across the phone, the 5Ah battery, 65W charging, headphone jack, as well as micro SD card slot!

            SD 888 is Good Soc but it need more cooling too.

                  Only Exynos and A14 go lower than 45fps in sustained gaming.

                    Tech nerd 333, 10 Mar 2021My mistake, but you're also wrong. it has a 6000mah battery.My mistake i guess, i was talking about math, and the other dude talking about phones said it had a 5000mAh battery, so let's blame it on him lol - sorry.

                      The Android Freak, 10 Mar 2021Why you need 1TB SD card? So that it fills up after 5 years instead of half a year with 128GB memory card. The extra storage is always a bonus.

                        Tech nerd 333, 10 Mar 2021Man... i hope "5Ah" was a typo. you meant 5000mah... more1 Ah is 1000 mAh
                        1 Ampere hour is 1000 milli Ampere hours
                        So 5000mAh is 5Ah. Not a typo. Just basic maths.

                          Rudy, 10 Mar 2021Bruhhh!! The m in the mAh stands for milli. Hence, mAh is m... moreFine fine. I admit i was wrong.. in all honesty I did not notice the small detail

                              LowNitro, 10 Mar 2021Well, Tech nerd is not a math nerd seemingly. 5 Ah = 5000 mAhMy mistake, but you're also wrong. it has a 6000mah battery.

                                    What about the thickness of Rog. Becoz it increased near 1cm. Thickness is the major problem and comparatively nubia 6 have cooling fan and its thickness 9.7mm. And whr about rog??

                                      For those of us who want something not a cameraphone-first, well we have ROG phone at least.

                                      not like there's lack of choice for those who care about 50x zoom and all the latest bells and whistles for camera.. that's good. Great even. Let us have our ROG phone.
