To the headphone jack heads like me, just get the Drop x THX Panda. It's a wired/wireless over ear Planar Magnetic headphones that sound just like the wired headphones which is exactly what you wanted. It's only $300 - $400 so no problem considering you're paying premium for a flagship. I wish Drop would make a sequel to that headphone using all the best technologies (tech from Oppo PM-3, Bluetooth 5.2, all DACs like LDAC and codexes from AptX)

While you need different materials, size, design circuits to fit the tiny space. ASUS is master in many things but certainly their motherboard, internals design they are apparently not lleaders

At least Asus has a USB-C over ear headphone available at the store. I can still charge and listen with that wired headphone at the same time. Every flagship owner should be doing this like me. Gone are the days where it kills you as it was soooo last decade. Nowadays, it's safe to do what I do!

TSi Power, 23 Jul 2020try a wireless BT headphone/Neckband etc, you will love it.... moreIt's not messy when your headphones have thick wires. I have an ATH-M50X and I expect everyone in this community to have over ear wired studio headphones like mine. Not like Beats by Dre and their razor thin wires.

Anonymous, 23 Jul 2020You can use the usb-c to 3.5mm dongle..No! No! Screw the dongle. You'll look stupid keeping that thing connected to the phone at all times. Just keep the AeroActive Cooler on. I refuse to do it the Apple way or the common way which is what I said.

Gsmarena u must be hating LG so much. While op 8pro, galaxy s series comes as alternatives, lg v60 is no where whereas the latter has a dual screen which helps normal gamers a lot. The only downside the v60 has is he screen refreshing rate. Yet, it's a solid phone compared to the non-gaming phones that u have mentioned!!!

The fact is LCD use same power to illuminate any color. So if we talking about power consumption, LCD is worse than OLED

s3xy, 22 Jul 2020Total fail:
- No OIS
- No Optical Zoom
- No IP68
- No ... moreAll mentioned Camera features useless for real image quality. Most of the better pictures taken in best mobile phone cameras use Fixed Focal lengths, without image stabilisation. Any Zoom in mobile phone camera is useless beyond just gimmicks, EIS is available and with the amount of processing power it can easily show better videos if not the best.
Mobile phone cameras have limitations and they merely working around that with tons of processing because Mobile phones have that capability unlike DigiCams where it relies the expertise of the photographer and optics and NOT much of its processing(though there are inherent digital image processing is there but not like AI in Mobiles)
Wireless Charging makes sense if you have slightly smaller battery. But with 6000 mHs is more than enough for a single day use.
IP certification is obviously not possible with heat dissipation chambers and holes to let heat. Even Oppo Find X2 with hefty price tag(much much higher than ROG III) without Witeless Charging & IP rating.
I think ASUS ROG III, Lenovo LEGION, Xiomi Blackshark are best value for money if they keep their specs and prices in the same range like last year.
Only issues with ASUS ROG is their internals are not designed with lots of thinking and it all look more haphazard manner unlike Samsung or Apple or Huawei.
