    "So, technically, what Asus has done here is approaching the problem of tapering-off charging wattages in a different way, through MMT tech, in place of simply a larger single battery. Neat!"

    Sounds like the reviewer just heard of this technique

    Even Poco mid rangers have this technique

    Which is why when people cry about ultra fast changing destroying batteries you know they don't have a clue how diverse/variation of implementations can be done.. not all fast charging is the same approach it's not a once size fits all "just increase watts"

    And it's not just about battery chemistry

      With this tall 20:4 ratio no thanks

Asus has no incentive to take lot of marketshare they are hardware company they want more margin, companies like Nintendo or valve sold hardware by small profit or even loss to get more people to use their services.

        Asus here is focus on Niche market with good margin, so good for them.

As far as i'm aware even games like CoD, that do support 120fps, will not allow you to use it if it isn't allowed per phone, regardless of the screen. I fail to understand the benefit here. The touch sample rate is 720hz, that's will help you more.

            If you think of it what does New state mobile, apex legends mobile and warzone mobile have in common? The lack of a player base who are willing to spend such an amount on unnecessary hardware.t
            The only reason why pubg mobile and COD mobile hasn't kicked the bucket yet, is because they were optimized from the very beginning. This optimization didn't come without a cost as both games are less detailed and lack most of the features you could find in their original titles. You can't simply have your cake and eat it lol

              Big titles in the gaming space are becoming increasingly demanding when it comes to hardware. Mobile phones aren't simply capable of handling them.

Sure there are one or two people who are willing to spend such an amount on a "mobile" video game, but most people wouldn't waste 1.5k on a dedicated gaming phone when they can just spend 700 to get the same results. If you can get such a gaming phone for $500, cheers to you, but the majority of people would rather spend that money on actual gaming hardware.

If it was so easy to add these games without totally down scaling graphics or removing features, why isn't GTA 4 or 5 on the same platform.

                        Also you dont know mobile gaming market and how people spend, Gaming account cost up to 1M usd, people spend over 100k usd in In app purchase you think they cant afford 1k phone? These Series started since 2018 if its not profitable for them they would quit already.

                          red magic 8 pro is a better deal

                            Why would i lie? I just said its playable.

That's why most people stream such games from Playstation and Xbox accounts 🙄. Even though it was legally possible, why would I go through all the stress to change the initial purpose of a phone that was meant for mobile games not pc and console 🤔. I don't want to play gta v at 720p low settings and still get 30 frames lol (don't even lie that it can reach 60 fps at high/ultra graphics)

                                    Leanzazzy, 14 Apr 2023You're spot on about all of this.

Switch sold over 120M units during that period.

                                    Same to Deck by last year 1m unit were shipped in few Month, very few Flagship device can achieve that apart from Samsung and Apple.

                                      We don't care about the camera setup because when we bought this phone it was to play games comfortably and maximally. Likewise with wireless charging, completely useless because the phone cannot be used while using wireless charging. Meanwhile, if you use a cable charging you can still use it to play. So, yeah we don't care about camera setup and wireless charging. We still love this ROG phone. cool specs.
