Bear in mind that the slight refresh rate increase appears to be the ONLY thing differentiating this from the ROG 8 (other than the standard SoC update and some changes to the dot matrix display on the back). It could have been palatable - were it not for the fact that the speakers and haptics on the ROG 8 were horrifically downgraded from the ROG 6/7 series. Unless they've also done some work to restore the speakers, it's a no-sale from me.

      180Hz ??
      Honestly, just give me 120fps/Hz with VRR, that is plenty enough.

      I rather you focus on things that I would ntice.
      Like I don't know, removable side gamepads in the box. How about returning the 3.5mm aux port. Maybe a microSD / DualSIM slot. Most would appreciate a User Removable Battery. And even better; give us all of the above! This user-friendly market is ripe for the taking!!

        justasmile, 11 hours agoDo they not know the Sharp Aquos Zero 2 exists?That's 120Hz with a black frame insertion, not really 240Hz in a true sense.

            They need to create mid range vision of ROG phone series .

              No, I don't care that you can perceive it.

                Asus still sleeping and seems to be saving a lot on their RoG phone's RnD. Seems like they're recycling the same boring design from their ROG Phone 8 series.

                RedMagic will blow them again out of the water with the RM10Pro series and the upcoming RM10Ultra.

                    this will still be expensive phone and beast SoC is perfect for a phone like this. Game developers should port all AAA games to mobile so it's worth buying this expensive phone. Why would you buy this if there is something like Steam Deck and ROG Ally?

Besides, if they're not making a large number of displays, the quality BETTER be good otherwise they'd go bankrupt.

                        185 Hz 1080p. NOT worth it at all. Should've gone for 240 hz to properly differentiate.

                        This has a time between frames of 5.4 ms, whereas a 144 hz screen has a time between frames of 6.94 ms and a 120 hz screen has a time between frames of 8.33 ms.

                        Considering all of this, I'd say the IQOO 13 with it's 2K screen and still a superb 144 hz refresh rate is a better pick. You can upscale stuff too afaik so it's just gonna be a better experience overall. Asus will have better battery cus of the 1080p screen so there's that but for me this is just a no-go. Not fast enough to be better than a 2K 144 hz screen.

                          Wow
                          This is why apple is still stucked at 120fps

                            sorry asus with that horrible notch you went backward

                              justasmile, 11 hours agoDo they not know the Sharp Aquos Zero 2 exists?You beat me to it

                              Recency bias it seems

                              Sharp is still the best display maker by a mile and I will argue till death for this

                              They were doing 1hz refresh YEEEEEARS before it was mainstream from the likes of Samsung

                              Their IGZO OLED is still king most of these high brightness marketing pieces a plagued with green line issues

                              Don't get me wrong the panels from Samsung and BOE are not bad but not in the league of sharps stuff

                                  Asus be like we will give the best hardware but you will get only 2 android upgrade and there will no service centre in case your device breaks.

                                      Do they not know the Sharp Aquos Zero 2 exists?
