        Now I'm waiting for Zenfone 9 and see if they also have improved thermal management. I'm seeing Zenfone 8 at a good price after discount but with so many people complaining about overheating issues I'm holding my wallet and waiting for Zenfone 9 for now.

            No mention if the rog 6 has decent audiophile grade dac, that's interesting, could be downgrade from last year rog 5/5s

              DMX, 05 Jul 2022you just say you don't have money to buy it!! I get itOh yes I forgot this is GSMArena, if someone doesn't share the opinion of others they don't have money or are fanboys.

              Aside from me having the money for it, even if I did not phones plans with premium phones are cheap here.

              But oh well fine, I am poor according to you, well if you think so and have 100% proof of it, which you can not have unless you know.

              Then that's fine.

              (and no I am not rich either, but minimum wages vs life cost in my country are fair)

                They dont mention a pro Quad DAC for the 3.5mm jack for the Rog6. It's not a deal breaker, but it's too bad that they downgraded this from the previous version.

                      I WANT TO BE POSITIVE ABOUT THIS PHONE

                      But I can not

                      The 999 euro one is not that bad, the 1299 euro variant is a insult and there are better phones for that money.

                      So I keep my opinion based on the 999 euro model to keep it fair.

                      This is, all the PR in the stream (I saw it) aside mostly a ROG 5 but with faster specs.

                      The end.

                      ROG 5 was on paper a great phone, but my issues are mostly the stuff I can not be positive about.

                      - no info about how long the update support will be, it must be at least 3 to 4 years considering Samsung, Apple and even Xiaomi (new high end phones) provide that for this money

                      - ZERO INFORMATION ABOUT BUILD QUALITY, the ROG 5 snapped like a toothpick in half because of the build quality, this should not happen again

                      - the fact they will not sell the accessories in all countries, even now after 1 year the only thing Asus is selling for this phone in my country, if the controller for it.

                      - minor things like warranty support, the Zenfone and ROG 5 had their fair share amount of issues, and the support was just poor, this should never happen again even if this was a 400 euro phone

                      So yes I want to be positive, but I can't

                      I trust Asus their desktop parts, but phone wise this is their 5th ROG phone (there was not ROG 4) and they keep making stupid mistakes

                      Such a sad thing honestly

                            Good God, this thing can be mine for my birthday, I don't care about the camera section, only with the 6,000 mha of battery and the new dissipation system they have bought me asus and the prices are not so bad

                              why not 240hz display. like the zero 2 from sharp
