Imagine a phone at this price without OIS. Oh no, we don't have to imagine, it's here.

Ioannis, 14 Mar 202120.4:9 screen ratio, are you joking? Too narrow for everyth... moreI love playing on my Xperia 5II with 21:9 ratio. The extra "tallness" allows for better grip and extra space for games in landscape... For example I place all the buttons to each side even further than my previous 16:9 phone, and the center view that remains is huge, almost like if I was playing without covering the display with my fingers.
Also having such extreme ratio prevents the device for being too wide while still retaining big display area. It is great for vertical scrolling pages and apps and great for watching movies.
The Xperia is particularly great at running apps side by side too

"First things first, Yes, it's the ROG Phone 5 instead of 4. Don't worry about it; you haven't accidentally skipped an iteration along the way. The explanation is actually simple and one that we have encountered before with Chinese and Taiwanese naming conventions. The number 'four' in Chinese just happens to sound similar to their word for death, so naming products after this number is considered unlucky and is avoided."
Okey, how about Zenfone 4 then?
Wasn't that unlucky for Asus.

20.4:9 screen ratio, are you joking? Too narrow for everything, this phone is as wide as a 5.58 inch 16:9 phone fir example a lenovo p2. Who likes to play game in a lenovo p2?

Ugly nasty looking phone.
I'd take this with Samsung note10 design.
Flat back, sharp edges, rectangular boxy.

Most Android games are either 480p or 720p, so no need to waste Resources in 1440p display In gaming phone.

beep bop boop, 12 Mar 2021i think 144hz can compensate for the loss of 1440pAt least I care about the high refresh rate more, than the resolution itself.

Esp if you're comparing 165 vs 144 inherent latencies.
