@@GridDweller77 Apple wankers? There's like 4 or 5 flagship phones left with a Headphone Jack. 2 of them are Samsung. And I own an Xs Max and just received my Asus ROG Phone.
Mingue Kwak & Elias gagnef: I was talking less about raw power and more about the invisible shoulder buttons, nice screen, large battery and nifty cooling accessory.
Maybe for the fps, extra cpu power and the sexy design and extra stuff. I have the S9 plus and I play every game maxed out but I wish I got more than 60 fps so maybe this is for people like me
Pixel Man how do you know that it is going to be laggy. It has a custom 3ghz snapdragon 845. It has a higher clock speed than a normal snapdragon 845 so that obviously means it is not going to be a laggy phone and plus the phone hasn’t even released yet.
I don’t understand who’d buy these kind of phones in a world where something like the Switch exists, where gaming laptops are getting cheaper, and better and consoles in general are half the phone’s price. Are there people out there who are that dedicated to mobile gaming?
Smeaxyskittles I move around a lot. Also when I'm in town, I'm usually working most of the day. Last time I even owned a TV was around 4 years ago. But when it comes to my laptop and smartphone, I like to have the most capable and versitile. As I use both for work and play. Although I'm not a big gamer I like getting gaming devices as they can basically run anything I throw at them for years to come (photoshop, etc) and usually have loads of RAM for multitasking and quicker operation. EDIT: But I do game when I have time, every once in a while. Just can't justify buying a console or having to carry another device around with me.
Well people pay 900-$1200 yearly for Apple's latest flagship and their products have so many hardware problems and also their almost completely locked down OS
Ivan Nava such as? htc made the first dual camera android phone first to use dual front facing speaker first to use the both the ear speaker and the bottom speak at the same time first to have edge sense made the first android smart phone in the world first to have front facing ois camera first to have the amazing sonic zoom audio recording feature htc fucked up a lot such as the one m9 htc also abandoned a lot of feature like the dual front facing speaker, the dual camera, the front facing ois camera htc fucked up a lot, but it create a lot of new feature (also abandoned them), other than the fingerprint sensor, and the 18:9 aspect ratio
i dont see that coming soon.. brands dont want to make good products, they want money. So building your own phone would cost us less and they wouldn't earn as much as for a prebuild phone. But it would be awesome
I did this comment with sarcastic nature but the more and more these PC part manufacturers/PC brands get into mobile business it's very likely it would be true some day.
PrasadBox79 That will never happen more powerful hardware will always be bigger and require proper cooling that's why phones haven't come close to the power of even insanely cheap pcs and laptops.
An over engineered smartphone (finally) made for playing mostly pay to win, low spec mobile games. On the same level as a high end laptop with Chrome OS...
Andrew Babasick My point exactly. Who needs all this for Asphalt 8 and PUBG. Real gaming is needed. At least xbox 360 quality at this point. Gears of war mobile maybe god of war 3 remastered on the go would be nice. Shield tablet with the K1 was a step in the right direction.
I agree, the Shield tablet was definitely a step in the right direction.... but there are no demanding games on phones that require this much hardware.... if you want gaming on-the-go i would recommend you to buy a Nintendo Switch, there are a lot of games available now, and the Nintendo games are almost always fun
Asus forgot one important thing. WHO WANTS TO PLAY ON A PHONE WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR MONITOR, KEYBOARD AND MOUSE? Phone looks cool and that's most likely why people will want it. Apart from mobile game streamers, I highly doubt anyone will use the other accessories, other than the included fan. I hope they don't overshoot the price to make it unavailable for people who just want a good, cool-looking phone.
You're missing the point, it's not just keyboard and mouse, you can literally connect anything to it just like a laptop, that's a powerful feature to have.
RampagePlayZ you have to kidneys. One on your left and one on your right. You can survive and live with one kidney but if you sell both kidneys then you will die bexause your body doesnt have anything to filter out urine to the bladder and get rid of salt.
Ornstein the DragonSlayer well yeah but then again I could say I can play GTA SA on my lgk10 2017 but with shitty performance and with my phone overheating easily
12 gal aka 45l is alot if your car isn't inefficient and high af horsepower, you can easily drive 600km (400mi) with a decent efficient car (and driving around 120kmh/100mph), so if thats what you mean, it'll last a long time.
At 4:15 right as Austin starts drumming his finger as he improvises the line, the person recording the shot zooms in to cover this. As always, commendable work!
vgamesx1 I've been playing portable consoles for years, and they're good at both playing in short bursts and for extended periods of time. They also easily fit in any bag, and a 3DS (even XL) sits really well in a pocket.
Mohsin Rizvi or just get a good pc instead of having to buy a ps4 which will eventually cost you even more because 60/ year online is way too expensive.
TBH Austin I think u are being bit harsh on the razer phone. I bought it brand new for only £530 and it provides everything I need and expect from a smartphone. Not only does it meet my expectations, but in some areas it really is incredible. The 120hz screen makes scrolling through menus a joy to do and the media experience when watching Netflix and playing games is unmatched so much so that I would rather watch a movie on the phone rather than my TV. The battery life and speakers are also great and although the camera when it first came out was sub par, with multiple software updates it has improved massively. Yes the phone has its problems but it also does some things better than anything else and for the price I couldn't ask for anything more
Ваня Савочкин I’m planning on getting a Razer phone in the near future, thanks for writing this. I’m not about to spend $1,000+ on a phone with a few more features than the $550 one. Sure, the headphone jack is a major annoyance, but it’s far better for the price
i could see a very subtle difference when changing my profile with max OCD between 81 Hz and 110 Hz but its nearly identical from 96 to 110 Hz. I tested via 27 inch 1440p Korean monitor with my face close enough to observe every inch lol. I mean honestly you have to be a pretty "special" person to consider 120 Hz an advantage over 90 XD. They prolly made it 90 Hz/AMOLED particularly for those cheapo VR headsets.
I mean, if you're heavily accustomed to the high refresh rate, yeah, you'll see a small difference. But for people who are just your average gamer, it will be quite hard to see. Also, when is a phone actually going to run at 120fps lmao
Meh, too expensive and pointless, people should buy at least a console if they're remotely interested in gaming. What's next, a gaming car by Razer or Asus.
Guys, a gaming fridge would be pretty rad. And a gaming toilet too. Maybe even combine the two ;) I hate it when I have to get up to get a drink or to take a leak.
The moment I heard "you can't tell between 90 Hz and 120 Hz on any display, let alone a phone" I disliked this video. Now, these are the same enthusiast reviewers who get off over a couple of fps whenever reviewing two products and finding one performs at 60 fps and the other at 70, saying things like "massively superior, almost 20% more performance".
even if it did what would u run on it? fortnite for android? dont get the point of this phone at all. buy a nintendo switch and oneplus 6 or something instead
Meh. Gaudy. For gaming, I don't really see an advantage over any other flagship (they all run the same CPU and GPU) unless you just have to have customizable RGB lighting and better cooling...90hz on a phone is whatever and most mobile games still suck. The fact that the OnePlus 6 with basically the same specs sans the useless "gaming" enhancements can be had for ~$500 makes this phone seem pointless since we know it's going to be much more expensive than that. Don't get me wrong...I think this format is the future: a small highly powerful computer that you can take with you and dock wherever you are. If we ever get desktop class performance (of course desktops will always be more powerful, but when mobile graphics become "indistinguishable from reality", then it wont really matter) in a phone that works for 90% of people then that will truly be amazing. For now...this fragmentation is just silly.
I have been basically waiting for a phone that could work as a competent VR headset when I'm out. With that in mind, my main concern with this phone is the resolution. That's pretty low for VR, even lower than the psvr. More than full DCI-P3 color space? That's a huge deal. Make sure to push that her support and I'll love it. I love the several USB ports. More connectivity then a Mac? Yes please. Especially if it gets a headset peripheral with extended sensors. Is it water resistant? Please be water resistant. I hope the camera quality isn't quality isn't much worse than a pixel camera. The AR support could be useful, for VR tracking. And it makes me hopeful for a decent camera. I think the led is a bad use of space. I'm not sure how I feel about the vapor chamber considering that space could have went to battery. The newest CPU is a definite must, and I guess the vapor chamber should make it's performance consistent, which will be good if they release that headset accessory. 8 gb of ram, good future proofing, probably overkill. Up to 512 gb of storage. My current phone has 16 gb, I would normally say 64gb is more than I'll ever use. But if you can actually get that gamer angle (especially if you can get VR games on there) I might consider it. Bottom line, this phone is the closest to what I've been waiting for. If you could release a headset expansion WITH actual good motion controls and support for rec room (maybe beats saber... ), Then I'll almost definitely get it. Price wise, under $800, I'll probably get it unless you actually do screw up the camera or something like that. Above $1000, you better be offering me that VR experience I've been wanting. VR on the go would be fantastic.
damn Asus went balls out with this one. Honestly I game more on Pc and Xbox. Only use my phone for trivia games or occasional Fortnite when at work. A whole complete set up for my phone isn't my cup of tea but im glad someone is bringing competition. Also Asus release the 35' 21:9 HDR 120+hz monitor already! im happy with my 34 but I need HDR!!
This could be a proper competitor to the Switch... But with Android onboard it's going to be nothing but a footnote in smartphone history. Android simply lacks the killer apps that can take advantage of its power as these apps have to also be compatible with devices weaker than it and cost 5 dollars at most (or risk not selling anything), whereas Switch has a library of very well-optimised high-budget titles that squeeze every bit of power out of it. Meanwhile, say, GPD Win natively runs Windows programs and therefore has an even more impressive library of equally high-budget AAA PC games from 5-10 years ago. Also, this Asus better have a controller dock, or it would be even more useless for gaming.
Konata Izumi so much so that developers actually make phone games at a higher priority than console game's like no joke goggle the poll pc highest currently phone is second ps4 is 3rd and Xbox is 4th
No one hardcore games on phones though lmao. People only play phone games because MOST people have a phone. But that also makes the majority of them, casual gamers. Which still renders this phone with high end specs useless.
what about the audio portion...it has a dac...does that work on the speakers as well? and does it have a audio suite like the rest of asus laptops do? great video buddy!!
Asus has always been making smartphones, and their optimization has never been the best. All they've done is slap the word "Gaming" on this device with some display improvements and a larger battery. It will still have inferior performance compared to other flagships. Also it only has a 1080p display, while the competitors generally have 1440p+.
Saqib Shahin Do you use the recent Asus smartphone? They improve so much this past year, I'm trying a lot of Asus phone and many other phone. All I can say is, Asus have improved and well optimize. The price, camera, and software, all of it are improving right now. Kudos to them. And this phone using QHD resolution.
Asus zenfone 5z actually scored 275K on Antutu. This ROG phone is much powerful than current android flagships. And it has a cooling system to prevent cpu throttling.
So it's A shame iPhone doesn't have space for fingerprint sensor or headphone jack but this phoe has 3 ports and allot of buttons and rgb glowing logo😅
ROG is ROG, it's a very respected brand in the gaming community, many people buys only rog approved hardware. They even convinced a huge company to buid a specific version of snapdragon 845. If they have succes with these phone, they will evolve this industry very fast.
What's the point of 120hz display refresh rate if your gpu can only handle 45-60 fps on PUBG? Asus is smart enough to only put 90hz display refresh rate on ROG.
makes everything smoother, if you've played a long time on 120hz gaming monitors or higher, and always had that fps or higher too, you'll notice that doing stuff on your phone will start to look laggy (not as in actual lag but because the screen only does 60 fps), which is annoying.
Pixel Man S6 is second handed, and now it is given to someone else, that and the fact that I heavily use earphones is a bit of a blockade against Razer phone . P. S I would rather buy laptop
Well some ppl are confused on this phone's price , around 865$ for the 128gb, 1,100$ for the 512gb variant and 1,800$ for all 4 accessories (a pc dock , twin view , a black dock meant for tv and a game vice (not included here.) like a nintendo switch) boxed with a free rog suitcase , prices are my rough estimate but its kinda precise , even tho there are 2 variants the only difference are the storage size but you'll get a solid 8gb ram even for the 865$/128gb model , rumors say the device will be release in Nov or Dec , but it is already available in China , whats troubles me is that this is an overclocked kernel thus I wonder how long this device will last , a 865$ phone should last atleast 2-3 years.
I firmly believe that one day phones will replace laptops. You'll have your keyboard + mouse + phone stand/base at your workstation and at home and all you'll need to carry with you is your phone. The next step is getting phones quickly switching between iOS/Android and MacOS/Windows based OS whenever the phone is plugged into the stand. Today at WWDC Apple told us explicitly they're not working in merging the two systems, which is sad and shows how clueless they are these days. This phone is not the future yet, but is a step in the right direction.
That simply, isn't possible. Processes have a limit, and phones are nearing them. That means, bulkier phones. Larger phones. To a point where it may as well become a keyboard-less surface book. Point is, it's screen is always going to be too small to be anywhere near laptop productivity. Nor is it going to have enough ports. Sure you can plug it into a stand and possibly project it onto a screen, but that still requires an external screen to work with. Good idea, but I don't see it happening. If it does, I'll shoot myself in the foot.
Cell phone overuse has killed several people already, people who already use their smartphones too often and at the times they shouldn't be using them (while walking around town face glued to the phone not paying attention to the rest of the world or driving down the street with the phone cradled in their dominant hand while driving with their other). I think we have a far greater need to make smart phones less used not more used.
Sappy I understand your point, but having a stand alone monitor plugged into the phone base would quickly resolve that problem. In regard to phones being bulkier, do not doubt the power of technology. I went to school in the early 90s and if someone had told me back then of iPads I would have laughed at him.
Tony Pugliese when you need to work while traveling, for example on airplane it'll be troublesome to bring and set dock, keyboard, mouse and monitor. compared to simply opening a laptop edit: a tablet with keyboard case might work.. kinda.. but still not as comfortable as using proper laptop
True, true. Very good points. However, my point still stands. "Processes have a limit, and phones are nearing them". Well maybe not phones in general but I'd say most processor transistors. 10nm on the current A11 chipset on the iPhone 8 and X. Which is incredible, to say the least since desktops processors still aren't there yet for consumers to use. However, die transistors have a physical limit of around 5-3nm. That's some huge space for improvement, per say. Smaller the die, the less power it consumes yet the faster the processor gets. That's what makes phones, powerful today. However, yes. Smaller die's make less power consumption. So we can stick with the thin trend of most phones today, for a decent amount of time. Until we reach the hard limit, then so we may need bulkier phones to make room for bigger batteries (and more cooling too, since it probably will run hotter) I don't doubt technology one bit. But there's still science behind it. One day, we'll get a complete 99% body to aspect ratio on phones without the notch. I don't doubt it can happen. Maybe one day we'll get fold able screens. (yes it's possible. If we can curve led displays, then we can have half the outer screen submerged inside the phone. Possibly a button will unfold the rest of the screen, practically making a screen bigger than the body itself.) So over 100% body to aspect ratio. Who knows what'll come next? My point here is. As phones evolve, laptops will too. The technology will be interchangeable from each devices. However, the sheer size of a laptop compared to a phone will always make it a superior product.
putting the talk about the phone aside , the place where the video was shot looks soooo cooolll ! btw phone is a beast especially the additional cooling chamber ! ! !
no, that game can only be run by the supreme hardware of Nokia as it requires quantum processors unknown to man, only known to the wizards who designed the unbreakable phones
RealCrazybear you mean forced you to play with other player using emulator? It's good to know if it is.because it's definitely improving a lot of accuracy if you using mouse for aiming.
I have the Razer phone. My biggest problem with it is that it has a very dim screen. Even when I turn it up to okay level, in the middle of game play it will get dimmer on it's own as maybe a safety feature. It's a good start first attempt, but really needs a brighter screen next go around.

RUclipsrs: whatever
K9X Mysterious I was searching for this comment... I knew someone was going to mention it😂
Asus forgot one important thing. WHO WANTS TO PLAY ON A PHONE WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR MONITOR, KEYBOARD AND MOUSE? Phone looks cool and that's most likely why people will want it. Apart from mobile game streamers, I highly doubt anyone will use the other accessories, other than the included fan. I hope they don't overshoot the price to make it unavailable for people who just want a good, cool-looking phone.
You're missing the point, it's not just keyboard and mouse, you can literally connect anything to it just like a laptop, that's a powerful feature to have.
My mom, She's 60 and loves angry birds
Why I am seeing 200 likes but in PC it saying 19 likes. What happened to RUclips app on Android phones
HucaPuca also it's nothing special, OTG and Bluetooth controllers for Phones has been a thing for ages
Lol I dare you to carry your PC, monitor, keyboard, and mouse outside the house.
I'm selling my left kidney
Tech Dunk im selling my whole kidney
RampagePlayZ you have to kidneys. One on your left and one on your right. You can survive and live with one kidney but if you sell both kidneys then you will die bexause your body doesnt have anything to filter out urine to the bladder and get rid of salt.
Tigger Tigger let him be. He's not the brightest
Tigger Tigger What the fuck are u even saying. That shit is known from birth u stupid fuck lmfao.
Andrew ņ%& im telling the person that said he's selling his whole kidney, that he has two kidneys
I don't know how much gaming I'd do. Because most of the graphics are terrible, and the app store is filled with Microtransaction shovelware.
Hunter2129 um play store and emulators
Pixel Man same gacha lootbox pay to win bullshit on Japanese games ,I say it because I been playing different jp games on Android for years.
Pixel Man both are shit
Hunter2129 GTA SA, Bully, And Pubg or fortnite would work really well in this phone
Ornstein the DragonSlayer well yeah but then again I could say I can play GTA SA on my lgk10 2017 but with shitty performance and with my phone overheating easily
Play pubg OK but free fire really???
Dryxis that’s what I was saying
JoVG 283 lol Justin have a powerfull phone and he play a ps1 game🙄
It's probably pre installed by ROG. He's in Taiwan amd Garena is big there
Vi Hua yep
HarwadCannuc and UnboxTherapy have their ROG phone installed too
"It has a 4000mAh battery" == "This car has a 12 gal fuel tank"
12 gal aka 45l is alot if your car isn't inefficient and high af horsepower, you can easily drive 600km (400mi) with a decent efficient car (and driving around 120kmh/100mph), so if thats what you mean, it'll last a long time.
Unbox therapy and Austin both uploaded the same video of this phone at the same time...
AQW Talisman
Yep
Combobulator Man yeah lol
Lol exactly
The phone is good but the android game library isnt.
Pravin Kaushik steam stream link baby!!
Pravin Kaushik still better than iOS
BH4x0r iOS and android library are almost exactly the same
Reoxys 456 i mean the OS in general
Emulators baby
Thumbs up if this reminded you of the N-GAGE
Chad Mojito the lack of likes and comments make me think most views aren't old enough to remember the N-Gage lol
you're probably right ahah. that's pretty much ancient history now
The OG gaming phone, Nokia were truly an innovator ahead of itself time
I know what the N-Gage is but liking someone's comment is not my thing
Chad Mojito 23
Hey, Austin. This is guys!
Lol 😂
hahaahah
Hey guys, This is a original comment.
i would buy an rog laptop instead of the rog phone if its cost more than 1000$
but this is sooo cool!
At 4:15 right as Austin starts drumming his finger as he improvises the line, the person recording the shot zooms in to cover this. As always, commendable work!
Who games on a phone anyways?
Gamers that commute or travel quite a bit game on a phone. I do it during my bus ride to and from school.
Who carries a console / laptop with them everywhere just to play a game for a few minutes?
vgamesx1 switch is the answer
vgamesx1 I've been playing portable consoles for years, and they're good at both playing in short bursts and for extended periods of time. They also easily fit in any bag, and a 3DS (even XL) sits really well in a pocket.
AR gaymers
*testing RoG phone by playing Free Fire*
Even my shitty Zenfone 3 Max can run that game.
Omg actually yes I just saw unbox therapy's video on this phone and he also tested free fire idk what's up wid this game
Avicenna Shinoda maybe it is not optimized lmao
Freefire definitely paid Asus to showcase the game in the review.
Hey, lets play together :D i thought there's no one playing this
Vincent Laurensius You are correct. Here's a ticket to the PUBGM bandwagon.
$700-$800 would be the sweet spot for this phone.
Chamod Malalathunga indeed
For 700-800 you can get a ps4 and a good phone
Mohsin Rizvi for that price,you still can't buy an iphone
Mohsin Rizvi or just get a good pc instead of having to buy a ps4 which will eventually cost you even more because 60/ year online is way too expensive.
*BUT CAN U PLAY FORTNITE*
SolarPlayz lol so funny... (no sarcasm included)
ɪ sᴇᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏᴡʜᴇʀᴇ
Haha ur the guy treat watches ROBLOX vids
Hopefully not
SolarPlayz in a month th is is an android phone they don't have fortnite
Why would you buy this when you can build your own pc for like $7?
Dang where did I hear that before. It's driving me crazy!
Dave Lee! Thank god.
Top Dawg 700*
Zivixoile keep in mind your comparing a PC with a PHONE.
Zivixoile+ Lol thats pretty bad that you have to compete your computer with a phone LOL.
TBH Austin I think u are being bit harsh on the razer phone. I bought it brand new for only £530 and it provides everything I need and expect from a smartphone. Not only does it meet my expectations, but in some areas it really is incredible. The 120hz screen makes scrolling through menus a joy to do and the media experience when watching Netflix and playing games is unmatched so much so that I would rather watch a movie on the phone rather than my TV. The battery life and speakers are also great and although the camera when it first came out was sub par, with multiple software updates it has improved massively.
Yes the phone has its problems but it also does some things better than anything else and for the price I couldn't ask for anything more
Ваня Савочкин I’m planning on getting a Razer phone in the near future, thanks for writing this. I’m not about to spend $1,000+ on a phone with a few more features than the $550 one. Sure, the headphone jack is a major annoyance, but it’s far better for the price
Can confirm as a owner the razer phone is good
np man
Got a Samsung ad
anu same
Mingue Kwak yes it's an amazing phone
Mingue Kwak what did I even say??
anu I’m sorry you had to see that garbage
anu gud u a ad from no. Phone selling brand
A true gaming phone since Xperia Play
baibhav lol you forgot blackshark
*_"Running at 90fps vs. 120fps is very hard to tell on any display"_* Lol wut?
RFC if you can see past 90fps you are being ridiculous.
i could see a very subtle difference when changing my profile with max OCD between 81 Hz and 110 Hz but its nearly identical from 96 to 110 Hz. I tested via 27 inch 1440p Korean monitor with my face close enough to observe every inch lol. I mean honestly you have to be a pretty "special" person to consider 120 Hz an advantage over 90 XD. They prolly made it 90 Hz/AMOLED particularly for those cheapo VR headsets.
Kevin Beers whats you're problem? I can tell 144hz vs 180 vs 240. If you don't see it you have a problem with you're brain
Kevin Beers The human eye can see over 3000fps so what's your point?
I mean, if you're heavily accustomed to the high refresh rate, yeah, you'll see a small difference. But for people who are just your average gamer, it will be quite hard to see. Also, when is a phone actually going to run at 120fps lmao
But can it play minesweeper 60fps?
It can play at 240p
20 fps
My Razer phone can play it at 67p at 3 frames per day and that phone is powerful.
Yes if you lower the GPU settings
Meh, too expensive and pointless, people should buy at least a console if they're remotely interested in gaming. What's next, a gaming car by Razer or Asus.
Safina lol
Safina nope gaming fridge comes first
Some dude time flies by so fucking fast that u guys did not even heard nasa has invented new gaming underwear with vitas tounge technology
3xtra dip damn already?? Did they release the gaming closet yet?
Guys, a gaming fridge would be pretty rad. And a gaming toilet too. Maybe even combine the two ;)
I hate it when I have to get up to get a drink or to take a leak.
I love this guy's energy and enthusiasm
The moment I heard "you can't tell between 90 Hz and 120 Hz on any display, let alone a phone" I disliked this video. Now, these are the same enthusiast reviewers who get off over a couple of fps whenever reviewing two products and finding one performs at 60 fps and the other at 70, saying things like "massively superior, almost 20% more performance".
Yep 90hz vs 120hz has a difference... that's 30 fps... Exynos 9810 S9 run games at 30 fps... it's that huge.
Aniket Bhagat i thought he said 100 vs 90 not 120 vs 90, an incriment of 10 is subtle but between 120 and 90 is a big difference
Ghost Stop following me...
joshcogaming he said 120,personally it does not matter to me.
It's not hard to see the difference between 90 and 120hz. It's not like from 30 to 60, but it's noticeable.
It isn’t cheating,
Just means you’re prepared.
RGB? I’m sold.
Finnaly, i’ve been waiting for this.
When phone has 2x your laptops specs
Gretchen The dog 100k no vids and for what? To play candy crush
make it 8x:DDD
0.5x
Does mobile gaming really need that much power?
Preston 136 nope this is overkill
This question is really important ?
Maybe not for the current games but for the upcoming ones
Yes, emulated games but still not powerful enough
No.
Does it have thunderbolt 3 to connect it to an external gpu
Lmao apple users
rotary love ? Windows laptops have been experimenting with this feature before Apple AFAIK. Thunderbolt is Intel's tech, after all.
even if it did what would u run on it? fortnite for android? dont get the point of this phone at all. buy a nintendo switch and oneplus 6 or something instead
HenryG ASUS could implement an alternative to Thunderbolt 3 but it would require an entirely different GPU for it work
@rotary love Brrraaaaaaaaaaappp brraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapp *3nd to 2nd ricer money shift braaaaAAAAAA*AAAAAAA*AAAAAAaaaapppp
WOW! Looks so futuristic 😍
Congrats for 3M subs!
Meh. Gaudy. For gaming, I don't really see an advantage over any other flagship (they all run the same CPU and GPU) unless you just have to have customizable RGB lighting and better cooling...90hz on a phone is whatever and most mobile games still suck. The fact that the OnePlus 6 with basically the same specs sans the useless "gaming" enhancements can be had for ~$500 makes this phone seem pointless since we know it's going to be much more expensive than that.
Don't get me wrong...I think this format is the future: a small highly powerful computer that you can take with you and dock wherever you are. If we ever get desktop class performance (of course desktops will always be more powerful, but when mobile graphics become "indistinguishable from reality", then it wont really matter) in a phone that works for 90% of people then that will truly be amazing. For now...this fragmentation is just silly.
Beware your Both Kidney's
I have been basically waiting for a phone that could work as a competent VR headset when I'm out. With that in mind, my main concern with this phone is the resolution. That's pretty low for VR, even lower than the psvr.
More than full DCI-P3 color space? That's a huge deal. Make sure to push that her support and I'll love it.
I love the several USB ports. More connectivity then a Mac? Yes please. Especially if it gets a headset peripheral with extended sensors.
Is it water resistant? Please be water resistant.
I hope the camera quality isn't quality isn't much worse than a pixel camera. The AR support could be useful, for VR tracking. And it makes me hopeful for a decent camera.
I think the led is a bad use of space. I'm not sure how I feel about the vapor chamber considering that space could have went to battery.
The newest CPU is a definite must, and I guess the vapor chamber should make it's performance consistent, which will be good if they release that headset accessory.
8 gb of ram, good future proofing, probably overkill. Up to 512 gb of storage. My current phone has 16 gb, I would normally say 64gb is more than I'll ever use. But if you can actually get that gamer angle (especially if you can get VR games on there) I might consider it.
Bottom line, this phone is the closest to what I've been waiting for. If you could release a headset expansion WITH actual good motion controls and support for rec room (maybe beats saber... ), Then I'll almost definitely get it.
Price wise, under $800, I'll probably get it unless you actually do screw up the camera or something like that. Above $1000, you better be offering me that VR experience I've been wanting. VR on the go would be fantastic.
but the question is , CAN IT RUN CRYSIS?!!!
I'm waiting here for a phone with a core i7 and 2x GTX 1080ti
how about the best core i9 that exists? and titan volta as the gpu
Why not PUBG ??
instead of FREE FIRE
FORTNITE IS BETTER
RampagePlayZ its not on android so pubg is the next best thing
People keep commenting that without realizing, it's a preinstalled game on the phone he's showcasing
VSpider3200 yea

damn Asus went balls out with this one. Honestly I game more on Pc and Xbox. Only use my phone for trivia games or occasional Fortnite when at work. A whole complete set up for my phone isn't my cup of tea but im glad someone is bringing competition. Also Asus release the 35' 21:9 HDR 120+hz monitor already! im happy with my 34 but I need HDR!!
So, this is the first "gaming" branded phone that is actually a gaming phone ? Emulators paradise.
This could be a proper competitor to the Switch... But with Android onboard it's going to be nothing but a footnote in smartphone history. Android simply lacks the killer apps that can take advantage of its power as these apps have to also be compatible with devices weaker than it and cost 5 dollars at most (or risk not selling anything), whereas Switch has a library of very well-optimised high-budget titles that squeeze every bit of power out of it. Meanwhile, say, GPD Win natively runs Windows programs and therefore has an even more impressive library of equally high-budget AAA PC games from 5-10 years ago.
Also, this Asus better have a controller dock, or it would be even more useless for gaming.
Now...I am interested.
But who games on phones...
Konata Izumi so much so that developers actually make phone games at a higher priority than console game's like no joke goggle the poll pc highest currently phone is second ps4 is 3rd and Xbox is 4th
No one hardcore games on phones though lmao. People only play phone games because MOST people have a phone. But that also makes the majority of them, casual gamers. Which still renders this phone with high end specs useless.
I do. I like playing retro games on my s8.
what about the audio portion...it has a dac...does that work on the speakers as well? and does it have a audio suite like the rest of asus laptops do? great video buddy!!
Asus has always been making smartphones, and their optimization has never been the best. All they've done is slap the word "Gaming" on this device with some display improvements and a larger battery. It will still have inferior performance compared to other flagships. Also it only has a 1080p display, while the competitors generally have 1440p+.
Saqib Shahin Do you use the recent Asus smartphone? They improve so much this past year, I'm trying a lot of Asus phone and many other phone. All I can say is, Asus have improved and well optimize. The price, camera, and software, all of it are improving right now. Kudos to them. And this phone using QHD resolution.
Asus zenfone 5z actually scored 275K on Antutu. This ROG phone is much powerful than current android flagships. And it has a cooling system to prevent cpu throttling.
*iRon59* Benchmarks mean nothing if the software isn't good.
it has a 2160x1080 display 1080p is 1920x1080 not a huge difference but a difference none the less.
Pixel Man yes have you even seen THE new Asus ZenFone 5 and then 5z those 2 are very well optimised
This is getting kind of ridiculous.
So it's A shame iPhone doesn't have space for fingerprint sensor or headphone jack but this phoe has 3 ports and allot of buttons and rgb glowing logo😅
I prefer in glass fingerprint than face id
Andrew RyanZ which vivo have and the most innovative company apple doesn't have😅
JOKER I know right. But but but I thought it was impossible and it would make the phone "too big" 😒😒
dajam9035 apple need new engineers 😅
JOKER not to mention it even has a heatsink and fan
ROG is ROG, it's a very respected brand in the gaming community, many people buys only rog approved hardware. They even convinced a huge company to buid a specific version of snapdragon 845. If they have succes with these phone, they will evolve this industry very fast.
What's the point of 120hz display refresh rate if your gpu can only handle 45-60 fps on PUBG? Asus is smart enough to only put 90hz display refresh rate on ROG.
Pixel Man well, I don't use social media that much
makes everything smoother, if you've played a long time on 120hz gaming monitors or higher, and always had that fps or higher too, you'll notice that doing stuff on your phone will start to look laggy (not as in actual lag but because the screen only does 60 fps), which is annoying.
Pixel Man chill bro, I did not say that 120 Hz is bad, I mean they say the more the merrier right ?
Pixel Man in fact I am curious to see how beyond 60 Hz looks,as the highest I ever got was 60 Hz with galaxy S6
Pixel Man S6 is second handed, and now it is given to someone else, that and the fact that I heavily use earphones is a bit of a blockade against Razer phone .
P. S I would rather buy laptop
Next MSI phone..
Vetrex id like to see that tbh
Asus has been making phones for awhile.
Asus phones are the meme of phones. Same with the Windows Phone.
*But can you play CSGO in Linux Mint through Limbo?*
Well some ppl are confused on this phone's price , around 865$ for the 128gb, 1,100$ for the 512gb variant and 1,800$ for all 4 accessories (a pc dock , twin view , a black dock meant for tv and a game vice (not included here.) like a nintendo switch) boxed with a free rog suitcase , prices are my rough estimate but its kinda precise , even tho there are 2 variants the only difference are the storage size but you'll get a solid 8gb ram even for the 865$/128gb model , rumors say the device will be release in Nov or Dec , but it is already available in China , whats troubles me is that this is an overclocked kernel thus I wonder how long this device will last , a 865$ phone should last atleast 2-3 years.

I firmly believe that one day phones will replace laptops. You'll have your keyboard + mouse + phone stand/base at your workstation and at home and all you'll need to carry with you is your phone. The next step is getting phones quickly switching between iOS/Android and MacOS/Windows based OS whenever the phone is plugged into the stand. Today at WWDC Apple told us explicitly they're not working in merging the two systems, which is sad and shows how clueless they are these days. This phone is not the future yet, but is a step in the right direction.
That simply, isn't possible. Processes have a limit, and phones are nearing them. That means, bulkier phones. Larger phones. To a point where it may as well become a keyboard-less surface book. Point is, it's screen is always going to be too small to be anywhere near laptop productivity. Nor is it going to have enough ports. Sure you can plug it into a stand and possibly project it onto a screen, but that still requires an external screen to work with.
Good idea, but I don't see it happening. If it does, I'll shoot myself in the foot.
Cell phone overuse has killed several people already, people who already use their smartphones too often and at the times they shouldn't be using them (while walking around town face glued to the phone not paying attention to the rest of the world or driving down the street with the phone cradled in their dominant hand while driving with their other). I think we have a far greater need to make smart phones less used not more used.
Sappy I understand your point, but having a stand alone monitor plugged into the phone base would quickly resolve that problem. In regard to phones being bulkier, do not doubt the power of technology. I went to school in the early 90s and if someone had told me back then of iPads I would have laughed at him.
Tony Pugliese when you need to work while traveling, for example on airplane it'll be troublesome to bring and set dock, keyboard, mouse and monitor. compared to simply opening a laptop
edit: a tablet with keyboard case might work.. kinda.. but still not as comfortable as using proper laptop
True, true. Very good points. However, my point still stands. "Processes have a limit, and phones are nearing them". Well maybe not phones in general but I'd say most processor transistors. 10nm on the current A11 chipset on the iPhone 8 and X. Which is incredible, to say the least since desktops processors still aren't there yet for consumers to use. However, die transistors have a physical limit of around 5-3nm. That's some huge space for improvement, per say. Smaller the die, the less power it consumes yet the faster the processor gets. That's what makes phones, powerful today. However, yes. Smaller die's make less power consumption. So we can stick with the thin trend of most phones today, for a decent amount of time. Until we reach the hard limit, then so we may need bulkier phones to make room for bigger batteries (and more cooling too, since it probably will run hotter)
I don't doubt technology one bit. But there's still science behind it. One day, we'll get a complete 99% body to aspect ratio on phones without the notch. I don't doubt it can happen. Maybe one day we'll get fold able screens. (yes it's possible. If we can curve led displays, then we can have half the outer screen submerged inside the phone. Possibly a button will unfold the rest of the screen, practically making a screen bigger than the body itself.) So over 100% body to aspect ratio. Who knows what'll come next? My point here is. As phones evolve, laptops will too. The technology will be interchangeable from each devices. However, the sheer size of a laptop compared to a phone will always make it a superior product.
I though that was an SLI bridge behind the phone...
Thanks for the amazing review, just wondering if you knew where I could get it or when I comes out?
Great! I'll definitely buy it to play Candy Crush!
It's for Emulation like PS1 GameCube Gameboy etc , noob

perfect description
bruh austin works out bruh, he aint ugly..
I was talking about the phone not Austin!
So, is it a overclocked snapdragon 845?
Jp Valdez Yeah boiiii!
Venom GG interesting :v
Yeah runs at 2.96 GHz instead of some 2.8 i think...
845 Gold Asus and Qualconn are Besties Now idkw
YES
putting the talk about the phone aside , the place where the video was shot looks soooo cooolll !
btw phone is a beast especially the additional cooling chamber ! ! !
But can it run snake
no, that game can only be run by the supreme hardware of Nokia as it requires quantum processors unknown to man, only known to the wizards who designed the unbreakable phones
Orion gaming I knew it! Those old Nokias are reversed engineered alien tech! Lol
Who is viewing in 2018??
ah shit too early im still at 2017

Not me
Im in 2050
Why is this cheating. There is a thing call emulator
Titiryu Chakraborty some emulators force u to play with other emulators
Titiryu Chakraborty PUBG Mobile detects emulators and forces you to play with other emulators, so it is cheating if you stick your phone into a dock.
And you can't always just "emulate" every game
RealCrazybear you mean forced you to play with other player using emulator? It's good to know if it is.because it's definitely improving a lot of accuracy if you using mouse for aiming.
Abbasid no it doesn’t, the apps can’t tell your using an emulator, which is kind of the point.
I have the Razer phone. My biggest problem with it is that it has a very dim screen. Even when I turn it up to okay level, in the middle of game play it will get dimmer on it's own as maybe a safety feature. It's a good start first attempt, but really needs a brighter screen next go around.
