Definitely would've considered getting one if it had expandable storage and a headphone jack... I mean, those features are technically on gaming consoles and wired headsets have lower latency.

Nintendo Switch: Headphone Jack on console with expandable storage
Steam deck: Headphone Jack on console with expandable storage
PS5: M.2 expansion slot on console and headphone Jack on DualSense
Xbox Series: Headphone Jack on controller with memory expansion cards on console

    rizki1, 29 Mar 2023That's right, the ROG series and Poco F4 GT are quite ... morePoco F4 GT popular, as in last years phone? For price yes but not a leader.

    This Lenovo double-speak is SO CONTRADICTORY:

    'Lenovo is discontinuing its Android-based Legion mobile gaming phones ... Lenovo is committed to advancing the gaming category across form factors'

    well just not in mobile. Kinda said since ZTE doesn't make laptops/desktops and yet STILL issue a top spec mobile gaming phone.

    Xiaomi’s Black Shark 5 Pro is more than a year old and absolutely NO rumours!

      I wonder if anyone actually bought those things, I mean not counting all the influencers they send these to in order to create some hype (which didn't really take off).

        the they don't sell it globally

        i my self got gaming tablet y700 from importir without after sales service, hence its a great performance tablet, i love it

          I'd make a case for the Xperia phones. An active cooling accessory with HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, and LAN is nothing to scoff at. Not to mention H.S. power control. That's huge.

            Anonymous, 29 Mar 2023It makes you wonder why we aren't seeing gaming-centri... moreGaming tablets = Handheld, Device like Steam deck, Razer edge etc do fill that gaming tablet niche.

            Asus Also has Rog flow Z13 with rtx 3050ti.

              rizki1, 29 Mar 2023of course gaming phones have that, but most people don'... moreGaming phone are not for most people though, its Niche category.

                    That's a shame since Lenovo does bring something different to the gaming smartphone table. Also, no chance about Legion Y700 tablet successor? That is a proper Apple iPad mini rival.

                      Most phones above 400$ can easily play any games, Mobile legends MPL competition uses Samsung or iPhone. These gaming phones exist for the minority that likes the design of gaming phones, while 90% of the population wants a gaming phone with a nice camera and nice design and that's your flagship Samsung, apple, Xiaomi phones.

                                  Xiaomi looks like will stop making Blackshark gaming phone. Not many buying Blackshark 5 by looking at online market in my country (ID). Thousand buyers tend to buy Asus ROG 5 and Poco F4 GT.
                                  So Xiaomi maybe will Continue its gaming phone from Redmi K series (or rebranded as Poco F-series)

                                      normal phone now has pretty good cooling, performance, charging etc The reason why gaming phone like ROG still there is because the name ROG is famous/big.

                                      Gaming phones shouldn't cost much more than $500.
