Can A Gaming Phone Go Mainstream?

This back display is much better idea that LEDs on Nothing Phone

That LED screen is way better than those nothing phone ugly lights

I think no one talks enough about how there's good gaming phones and no good games

Dont buy ROG it has motherboard issue

The best phone of 2024🎉

can you please review the vivo x100 pro sir?

I have an issue with this though, and its the same issue I have with the Zenfone.... will it actually work with US carriers. This particual topic is NEVER touched at all by NONE of the reviewers and sadly ASUS phones dont have the best band compatibility. We need a Gamers Nexus of phones with charts. Not to mention that the carriers will be the ones directing the market with their financing deals to either an iPhone, a Galaxy or a Pixel. The iPhone is the most sold phone mostly because of the insane deals the carriers put with financing. Ive barely ever heard from anyone getting an iPhone from the Apple Store unless you have deep pockets and pay full price in there. I could dive even deeper into the topic but Ill end the rant here lol. Point being saying how pretty the phone is tells me nothing and its not that Im having anything against anyone. Its just that the phone market is truly frustrating at its current state and this needs more attention.

that phone rocks man I love it

You have got a pimple

This phone is good specs wise but for people looking to resell after few months, beware the resale value will suck.

Every year the weak cameras are the reason I don't buy this phone. They should slap a flagship camera system on the back and call it the ROG Ultra and it will sell like hotcakes.

Oooh what's that wallpaper? 😯

Anybody know what that ring light in the background is?

Ok, but can I get at least 5 double A or Triple A games for the price tag of $1100? Dope phone otherwise.

Why I bought my ROG-phone 2: no hole-punch, biggest battery to date, premium feel of aluminium and glass back, led asus logo on the back. It's all gone. I'm losing hope for a ROG phone being my next phone. That's depressing.

As long as the cooling design dunks on the competition and it has the best performing screen/ram/cpu it will always be the 1st choice soap bar phone.

That pixel 8 pro though

I'll be skipping this one

I still don't get much the idea behind "gaming phones", I mean at the end of the day isn't it still the SoC that decides how capable the phone is for gaming and heavy-computing tasks? If that's the point, then could all phones that are using the latest SoC be called gaming phones and vice versa? Sure there are gimmicks you can throw in like tiny fans, RGB lights and those performance boosting softwares but isn't it more sensible to just get a normal phone that has the same chip at half the price of those gaming phones and slap on an external cooler that comes in like 10 bucks? And do you even need 24GB of RAM on a mobile phone? Heck, do you even need 24GB of RAM on a proper gaming machine like a PS5 or a PC system to be able to play games?
I mean the Xiaomi 14 Pro has literally the same specs, same geekbench score if that's what we want to talk about, and it's only $800.

Honestly I'm looking for a replacement for my OnePlus 7 pro (the pop-up camera finally kicked the bucket after three years) and I think this is it.
What I like best is that they actually software enabled almost every GPS frequency that the antenna in that new chipset is capable of reading.
Not enough reviews talk about that in my opinion.

Yo. How many eggs do you eat with your ramen. Genuine question.

drone shot intro go CRAZY!!!!!

Honestly it reminds me of my ROG Zephyrus laptop instead of the cringe black/red angled GAMER gear of the past

i would like that the non pro model will be like this and the pro model more "gamery"

Please review Red Magic 9 Pro bro..tq in advance 🫡

why dont they just put better camer???? cause rog3 is still holding on me for gaming

Too expensive for the price unlike rm 9 pro

Can A Gaming Phone Go Mainstream?

Answer: Big No!

i used to own razer phone 2 it was really good back then, but the company drops support.

no wonder im still holding boring samsung.
high end hardware will become garbage if poor support and os from company.

First I read the title "Can A Garmin Phone Go Mainstream" and as a Garmin owner I was like 🎉

2-3 years later, it should be called a zenfone ultra.

Bro, you are really behind, with your knowledge and everything, why are you limited to US market or small market..... Get to indian market, all your awards will certainly change... As i really get to you in all ways... Make your phone radar a little more wider as i look through your video.. your 99% videoes are based on US market... Please make it a little wider, as indian market is providing more high end based phone in budget level...

they downgraded the trigger and the speaker lol

can i have that phone please my keypad hpone is dying i will use that daily for school purposes

I believe it would be a very interesting video to research deeper on what really are the company resources needed to update an Android version. At first, "it's only software/fw" so it might not be as hard as it looks to offer many years of updating. So, what prevents companies from doing so? Is it basically a marketing strategy, pushing people to dispose of great pieces of hw due to forced obsolescence? Is there anything else that we're not aware of?

$1500 for a phone is just ridiculous. you can buy a pretty decent oled tv with that... I used to be impressed by phone features until I found myself hardly using any of the so called "cool" features. cameras? i rarely use the phone camera, most people use the camera that the app opens which disables most if not all the native camera features...about $200 is my limit on a phone so I guess I'll be buying this rog phone used 5 to 7 yrs from now, but that's just me.😄

PC/Console fandoms: "actually, smartphones are generally CRINGE becase NO/BAD GAMES they shouldn't invented 🤓"
Also pc/console fanboys: "Fruit Ninja? PVZ? Jetpack Joyride? Subway Surfer? Vector? COD mobile? ML? Wild Rift? Shadow Fight? The Outcasts? Cut the Rope? Nah, they're same BS 🤡"
WTF! These good mobile games didn't get the attention it deserves, and then those fanboys (specially Sony and its ponies) almost made smartphones extinct to the point YOU LITERALLY CAN'T PLAY MINECRAFT CROSSPLAY

I hate that they never bother with cameras on gaming phones. I'm not going to carry around another camera with me. I'm not going to carry around another phone to take pictures.
If I had to carry around a second device it would make sense to have a regular phone and a device like a steam deck. Because the phone is something that's always with me, the gaming is occasional.

As someone who cares a lot about minimal design, loves efficient additions like a screen on the back that can tell you useful information, and doesn't really care at all about the camera everything asus changed is a positive in my book. I genuinely don't know any other phone that would be this perfect for me, and I don't think I could even build one in a lab

why does asus never get political? do people not know who owns asus?

How to design a phone in 2024:
1. Just think like a normie. Your creativity is not important. Boring is more appealing

Quit ❌ retirement ✅

They have a toned down ROG M16 laptop and I think they’re trying to the same thing with this phone.

Man, LG phones were so amazing with military grade protection which nobody puts in nowadays in a regular phone. I am still finding the replacement for my LG G8x.

I feel like the fact this phone has an optical fingerprint sensor, yet can still read your finger really fast really goes to show that optical sensors can still be really good sensors as well, and that the Pixel 8 Pro suffers because of a BAD sensor, not because of the sensor being an optical one. Too many people seem to think that just switching to a different technology would mean that you get all the benefits of the best sensors, but that's not how reality is. There are good and bad sensors on both, Google chose bad optical sensors, and ASUS went with some good optical ones. Chances are they're cheaper than good ultrasonic ones, and may still be inferior to those ultrasonic ones, but at least they're still very quick with reading your fingerprint.

i'm disappointed ASUS went this way. i thought they would have kept with the out of the world, futuristic, gaming look for their ROG phones (to keep it distinct from your usual phones). the downgrade of the battery size is not helping either, some games do eat up a lot of battery power (even on normal settings). the extra usb side port and headphone jack is a normal feature since the first phone, so it's a given for this phone. i'm not excited for wireless charging as well, as i have to play in that fixed position as compared to wired charging where i can move around or change my position

They really tame the dragon, and made it a transportation that everyone can hop on, but ofcourse, its a dragon, the trip isn't smooth and sometime bumpy for normal people, but somewhat bearable.

booring phone

If it's not on Verizon I ain't buying it 🤷‍♂️

They packed SO MUCH hardware into this thing, it's crazy!

Wish it had a fan

The only reason i wont get this phone (although SOOO damn tempting) are the phone cases. Id love to show off that display but i can't sacrifice protection over vanity, i have a Z Fold and thank god cases for this were prepared otherwise id be scared for any little drop that could happen and has happened.
