Asus ROG Phone 3 review

When it comes t the performance section, especially the high refresh rate part, you said PUBGm had 5 frame rate options just like Arena of Valor, which is false, since the only game with 5 frame rate options you listed before PUBGm was Call of Duty

        So it technically doesn't do 4k120.

        IPhone was the best video recording (auto mode) last year.
        This year's flagships are ahead.
        I am coming from an iPhone 11 pro Max.
        Video stabilization while running wasn't as good as my current OnePlus 8 pro.
        Besides night video was also weak with too much grainy footage since it's a small sensor compared to 2020 flagships. Daylight video was the best though.

          The iPad is a joke, it doesn't do constant 120hz.
          Lack of optimization as the other user explained.

          Me personally never downgrading back to 60hz display.
          Enjoying my 240hz touch sampling rate with Oxygen OS.
          Never going back to pedestrian 60hz ever again!

            [deleted post]$50 and $1000 androids all provide the same poor experience and poor updates,don’t try separate em fella! :p

              If that phone had a 4K or even 2K display it would be perfect. I had the ROG 2 but ended up returning it due to the low res screen. Photos and games looked so blurry compared to my Note 8 screen.

Hilarious!

                Thank you for proving how poor and inconsistent features can be in android, you have countless times here proved me right in your desperate attempts, it’s hilarious!

                Also from the V60 review:
                “ The truth is, there is no real need to record in this high of a resolution. ” again proving my point, just ticking specs with diminishing returns, looool!

                    The video quality is quite good with lots of details"
                    - Gsmarena

                    Again selectively ignoring V60 8k recording which also has manual mode.
                    IPhone doesn't even have manual mode for video.
                    Don't worry you'll get 8k video recording in year 2030 when Android will be giving 12k.

                          Must be the poor OS to blame. ROG Phone had late software updates in the past and had multiple bugs, some severe.

                          A13 is as powerful as SD865 (non-Plus), but sustained performance is in line with SD855+ once it thermal throttles (due to only one cooling solution-graphene layer, which is a small area so not enough). But yes, its software works at least.

                            The iPad Pro's refresh rate is variable and non-adjustable. Swiping on the home screen feels like 60Hz. If the app supports 120Hz then probably that's when the high refresh rate kicks in.

                            The S20U is adjustable, so any differences are tangible and you can see it for yourself. It may only revert to 60Hz once the phone gets hot.

                            120Hz on iPad Pro is a bit of a gimmick unless you have a manual slider or something.

                              Apple implemented 60hz with 120hz touch sample on iPhones many years ago so iPhones have always felt great and a cut above everything else that’s why these new androids don’t feel that great to us. :)

                              Android users come from a bad experience so I can see why 120hz and 144hz is a big deal for you,finally your androids feel as smooth as iPhones.

                                  I have noticed 120Hz on S20 Ultra and it was different. You can really notice that.
