        [deleted post]In my opinion Asus is too afraid of S24 competition, so holds all reviews globally until 17th of January (S24 premiere). Just wait until next Wendesday.

          I have the RedMagic 8S Pro, the front facing camera is pathetic. Laughable really. The software is horrible. The hardware is amazing, the full screen is amazing, the battery is amazing.

          But I want this. Before the ASUS ROGs were just too long and annoying to carry around. I think this is the biggest thing they fixed with this update. I wonder when it will be available in the US!

                No active cooling? Thats a big F. The new Redmagic 9 Pro will destroy the asus in a longterm gaming test.

                      Either way this phone looks like they ruined the line, no front speakers, bezels, and a hole on the front for a camera? Get rid of the front camera for all I care I want to use it as a phone. There's a rear camera if you want to take pictures, why ruin the screen which is the only thing you look at on the phone while using it.

                        Honestly, this line of products lost all of its flair gens ago. Now it's just a mainstream smartphone with some gaming features. It's true what they say : First gen is bold and groundbreaking, but by gen 10 it's all gone.

I suppose you're part of the generation that uses filters for everything so you're used to it

                              not sure this phone can connect to the previous AeroActive Cooler 7 or not

                                if you want to play games for long hours, play on a proper console, not on a tiny display 40cm far from the eye. these devices tend users to be less and less productive from a much capable device.

                                  But please continue on without logic as you were.

                                        They've finally toned it down in styling. Ive always like the ROG phones but the gamer aesthetic just was such a turn off. Its finally something anyone can use. But tell us about the headphone jack!
