That’s literally what I was thinking. The best you could do is get a low watt/amperage output power adapter. For example, most iPhones stay at the same percentage or go up very slowly with .5 amps. The normal 5w adapter is 1 amp, for reference. I don’t know what the wattage would be for that, I guess something like 2.5? For my 15” MacBook Pro, when doing basic stuff, my 12 watt iPad power adapter keeps it at the same percentage, or it’s doing very light stuff, it’ll go up very slowly. Having it at about 70 percent screen brightness makes it stop/go down in charge, but about 50 makes it stay the same, or go up slowly. 60 seems to be a sweet spot. But there definitely should just be a standard charge limiter on everything, and that bypass charging is the best thing ever
I am currently using the ROG Phone 5s Pro (Which is basically an upgrade to the Ultimate) Its super awesome!! There is so much customization to the system functions and it lasts throughout the day. I kinda feel weird walking around with a power bank xD So i opted to bring the power brick itself to make use of the hypercharging. I only wished that the accessories were upgraded since it feels lackluster. I only ever use the cooler and both ports for charging when i go to shower. (It charges from 0-100% in about 30 mins+ with hypercharge). Im assuming it charges faster if u plug both ports tho. So yes, this is a great phone~

My ROG Phone II is still going strong! These phones are no joke.
Mine as well, almost... Just missing some updates 🙄
Yep rog 2 user here. I can do everything on it and nothing that attracts me yet to upgrade. I use it for emulators and its still runs perfect. Now if a good ps2 emulator comes out (not damonps2) and a rog 5 is required, then I'll turn my head...
What do u game
What games do you play and gow often?
@@jajabinx35 are PS2 games any good or is it more nostalgia? I was born during the Xbox 360/PS3 era and only don't have many opportunities to play the older PS1/PS2 games if they're not on the Playstation store. I'm thinking of either saving up for a PS2 and games or a new phone.
"I don't really play games on my phone"
*Does the shield task completely wrong*
"Yeah I can tell."
Playing among us doesn't make you a gamer
A gamer is someone who plays video games, and last I checked, Among Us is a video game.
@@immortalsun exactly lol , bunch of salty ass toxic people, i game in pc and mobile
SAMEEE
Amazing how they want you to buy this phone yet I cannot find a single known place to buy it.
Same man and honestly i hate its gsm only i have had terrible experience with allot of mobile providers
I ordered mine today online
@@siddharthdinesh3818 where did you order yours from?
The ultimate version has not been released in the USA. Only the asus rog 5 has been released in the us.
Not into gaming, but the specs are crazy, and that's what haves my interest.

When a phone has more memory than my pc...
Yes, 18GB is more than the PC *I'm about to build.*
this fool has more ram than my phone, ipad and laptop combined...😐
With this development I'm gonna be disappointed if they don't have 32GB in 3 years, I don't care that I don't need it I want it
No kidding. I have a gaming PC (albeit a cheap Walmart one) that only has 16GB (and that was after I added 8GB)
I suppose it also costs more than your PC so no surprise there
As for the headphone jack: Yeah, Sony did this too. Removed it then brought it back.
Also HTC
@@gabili htc still exist?
Google as well if we talk about their A series
also xiaomi with their mi a2 and mi a3
Also Motorola
The intro and title were 🔥🔥🔥 That back screen was definitely extra. Those charging features are clever.

Unlimited powaaaaa. I'm still on my ROG PHONE 2 from 2 years ago and it still FLIES. I can't imagine what this terrific beast feels like you can probably play any high tier emulator with SAA and the resolution turned to the max and it would not drop a single fps
This phone deserves the best customizable phone award for the smart phone awards.

He said that about the regular rog phone. Mkbhd is talking about the ultimate one.

"Bypass charging, who would have thought?"
Actually Sony did. The Sony Xperia 1 II's gaming mode has this feature.
Why everyone don't care what Sony did?
@@anuarbin because the rest of the phone wasn’t powerful enough for high end gaming
@@anuarbin seen the price ?
Also Xperia 5 II. Same goes for the bringing the headphone jack back. SMH!
*8D* Playing GRID Autosport for five hours straight at the highest FPS mode with those two front-facing speakers blasting your eardrums and seeing you still have enough battery to keep up for the rest of the day must feel like you've reached peak success in life.
In Chinese, the words "4" and "death" are pronounced very similarly, and in Japanese, they're pronounced exactly the same, hence the stigma.

The failed among us task, "But hey, you know what they say, you gotta pay to play...do they actually say that?" makes this my most favorite MKBHD video 😂😂😂 awkward af, but nice review tho
"They brought the headphone jack back" - OK ! This deserves an instant like!!
That bypass battery charging is the best new smartphone feature from a while IMO.
I expect some intense gaming test.
MKBHD - - plays Among us
i loved the intro music!
MKBHD: "A gigantic 6.8 inch display"
Me: "Well actually it doesn't seem that big compared to his hands" *buys the phone myself*
Me when I get the phone: "Well, f**k"
you: *realise he has big hands
tbh, I got big hands so I prefer large phones like this
Waiting for the 7.1-inch Black Shark 4 Pro.

Are Samsung and OnePlus lying about headphone jacks?
@@marksilar1186 they are following Apple because it makes them having more *PROFITS* and save space on phones, to which is shame excuse for the fans.

That what the 18gb ram on phone for lol
Then: My phone has some games
Now: My games have a phone
This is DAMN UNDERRATED
Yes I would have definitely gone for it if haven't bought the ROG 3, but now I know that there is literally no game in the market that fully utilizes specs that ROG 3 have let alone ROG 5.

**Xperia 5ii: am i joke to you?

ROG phone is just a flex for what the engineers can achieve at Asus!
that 16 and 18gb will be UNDER UTILIZE quote me on that
@@innocenceo0o well they call it the phone of future... So maybe in future when you'll run virtual machines on android.
True but on my rog phone 2 has utilized it’s full 8GB before I’d rather under utilization than max.
until they start running genshin impact
Marques: You must have a tiny interest in buying this phone.
Me (not a gamer and poor): Nope... I just like watching your videos and learning new tech.
If this was repairable, this would be the ultimate smartphone.
Also: upgradeable
Thing is,you can make a device “reliable” or “repairable” and clearly most manufacturers chose reliability. This goes for cars as well, most new EVs are not repairable other than the manufacturer!
Why you need phone that repairable if the phone are unbreakable
Apple is repairable or reliable? 🙄
@@harsimranbansal5355 How would trading glue for screws affect reliability if the phone isn't waterproof to begin with?
This phone is truly new innovative and down to earth also with headphone jack.

Unless dumpster diving. Although you pay with your dignity for that lol
Flossay!!

The battery bypass concept needs to be brought to laptops too. Can't believe this came out on A PHONE first
yeah im always constantly worring about my laptop battery haha
