Mediatek sux, 12 Nov 2022You have seen the nexus 6p durability test by jerryrig, right?Just watch every Nokia bend test in JerryRigEverything lol

    Two infinite things: human stupidity and the universe
    We can see the first one here, when somebody tries to break something and now it's worried because the most obvious thing happened.

                  Have some common sense man.

                    Everyone should keep their wallets and phones in back pockets. Makes it easier for pick-pockets.

                      they could have just made the phone from some other material instead of cheep glass that is bound to break easily

                            The only gaming phone that doesn't bend is Red Magic phone. ROG, Legion and Black Shark all snap into 2 part and 3 part for Legion case 🤦🏻‍♂️

                              Phones are getting longer these days, companies stretch them out so they can give more screen when we hold them horizontally so that would give more leverage to break em. The USB port right in the middle doesn't help either. One thing that might help is to make these phones thicker but then people are gonna complain about them being too bulky.

                                      the issue is the middle placement of the SoC. in pursuit of heat management, Asus placed it at the middle of the phone for better heat dissipation. also, it seats directly underneath the cooler. this is why ROG Phones have the best SUSTAINED performance out of every other phone, maybe except the Redmagic with its built-in fan.
                                      so, everything was made by design. could Asus made it better? yes, they could and I wish they have so I'm not gonna deny that this is Asus' fault. however, it is made by design all for the name of better gaming which is what this phone is meant for
