ASUS ROG Phone: Overkill Is Underrated

[@adelelouanfoufi691]

The only tech reviewer on KZbin that I'd watch a video of him reviewing a potato, i really like the honesty in this guy's reviews

[@FarhadMasum]

Exactly my thoughts.

[@projectgraham414]

Well crap, now we need a potato review lol

That dual usb port should be on every smartphone in 2019

[@The_Natsu.]

It really should. This thing gave us two usb and a headphone jack. Other companies could at least give us two usb.

[@kevinkelada6762]

No they should bring back the 3.5mm jack

[@justaknight4719]

Its good but it makes the phone more expensive.

[@libra_v3]

you can have two usb-c ports: one for charging and second for usb-c headphones

[@Riccardo_Mori]

As usual, great script, great review, the professional package you deliver every time. A lot of tech KZbinrs should watch and learn, with special regard to the elocution. Seriously, you're one of the few I can easily follow without subtitles. ;-)

[@ChaossX77]

So true. Especially since the subtitles are wrong half of the time.

I strangely think it looks really cool even if I don't really do any sort of gaming on my phone, haha.

[@Raprada]

Fun fact: Up until 1:15, I have never see the front of the RoG phone. Not even on launch coverages

[@sondinh509]

Nothing really outstanding other than the dual speakers, which are stupid loud like the ZTE Atom, and has a decent bit of bezels compared to the other all screen kind of phones although imo it helps with holding it in landscape position if you're not going to be using a case for it.

[@shadowt0nberry263]

At least ASUS gets that a "gaming phone" should have a headphone jack. 😒

[@TheMrMobile]

Yuppppp.

[@bamsemh1]

Said the user who has digital headset at the computer, or low end sound card that doesn't give the full power of the jack. On board sound systems aren't the best for Jack headsets. You need to spend money on professional system, if you want the true sound.

[@misterblackpepperswag]

@@bamsemh1 re you kidding me? Audio device vs Gaming device is separated segment... and even $1000 gaming headphone doesnt mean for audiophile, And another $1000 headphone for music doesnt do a good job for monitor headphone, So buy a proper gadget for ur need, and true digital audiophile, never consider a phone can delivery such a power to present a good sound for audiophile

[@TheOtherBill]

Villiam Hansen Gamers, not audiophiles.

[@tams805]

@@bamsemh1 It's more about actually having a free port to plug the headphones into. That and the 3.5mm jack being better suited to headphones.

[@VardhanShrivastava]

Finally! Someone did this phone a just review at last! Everybody else is either comparing it as a side note the razer phone... Or as 3 way match bincluding the mi shark... It deserves attention on it sown! Thanks you Michael! Well I spoke too earlier... Don't blame me.. I was excited as per usual! 😅 But still at least my point stands..until next time 😁

This is definitely a better implementation of a gaming phone than the Razer phone 2 or the blackshark.

[@TheMrMobile]

It's crazy because I enjoy the Razer Phone 2 a lot (and it gets major points for wireless charging and IP rating) ... but the ROG Phone definitely feels like the more completely-thought-out product when you factor in all of those insane accessories.

[@elijahberrey1881]

[@huskerwolf9586]

I'm actually waiting for this device to come out. I think it's a breath of fresh air from the glass phones that everyone loves. I enjoy unique devices; my daily driver is the BlackBerry Key2 which is very different from what's out right now. I can't wait to see part 2.

[@SarkarMotion]

Everyone else reviews devices and consumer electronics. But you treat these nonliving entities like they are your brothers and sisters. Brings tears of joy to my eyes.

[@NavdeepTuli]

Hey, you never did the part 2.

[@luckysxm]

I just bought this phone and it kicks ass. I haven't had as much fun with a phone in a long time. In the end, it's just a phone, yes. But it is really good. Asus has put the best of the best for everything inside or outside. The speakers are full sounding and very loud, each with their own amp, the headphone jack has it's own DAC of very high quality, so good quality headphones will give their best, there is a dedicated chip for HDR, the screen of course with it's 90 hertz and it is wide gamut capable. Big battery, overclockable processor. The list goes on. Even the tactile feel of the volume and power buttons is top notch. Plus there are those Air Triggers that can be used for other things than gaming, like launching apps and stuff. I would say the only sore points are the lack of waterproofing and the good but not great camera. And it looks much better in person than on pictures or videos. Great phone !

[@Juoppolalli]

The camera is ok and the battery life is pretty bad

[@luckysxm]

@@Juoppolalli If you leave the screen at 90 hertz yes, the battery takes a hit. Otherwise I'm getting pretty good battery life, on par with my S9+, but not as good as the Note 9 which I tried a few weeks.

Hey Michael, did you get the review unit late or were busy so couldn't get the video out earlier. Just asking because I think I saw MKBHD review long ago. I prefer your videos and take on the phones so its nice that you got the review out finally

[@raysprof]

ASUS probably expects this device will fail to sell for the amount of money they invested in it. But, that wasn't the goal of the development of this device. The goal was to solve problems that are likely to appear in other devices. It is like the NASA mission to the Moon. Apollo possessed very little science value, but in the process of solving problems to land on the Moon, useful technological solutions for every day on Earth systems were obtained.

[@lenardz]

Professor Scot I actually think this is to get in the market before too many competitors arrive. It’s a compelling package for gamers. Remember that both Microsoft and PlayStation are gunning for cloud gaming. Microsoft with their XCloud and PlayStation with their PlayStation Now. If they can beat Razer and become the name in mobile gaming now; they’ll get a lot more when those services become live.

[@Matanumi]

Yeah I agree this is a vastly untapped market

[@Harry-hyl]

Did you just compare a mildly interesting gaming phone to the moon mission ???? You have got a sense of humor kid 😀

[@brandMason]

I only trust few brand for a smartphone and it's always Apple and Asus in my pocket. No hates on other brands but Asus already own my trust since the release of Zenfone 3. Their device is so underrated IMO

[@awdrifter3394]

Asus is a big company, all the vapor chamber and cooling stuff they probably already have done for their gaming laptops. This phone is more like a promotion for their ROG brand.

[@Hobbles_]

As a quick test, I want to know what happens when you plug in multiple chargers to the multiple USB C ports on the phone. Does it take the most powerful charger, does it default to just one of them, or does it somehow use both? Otherwise, I feel fairly confident you'll touch on everything I would want to know about the device!

Mr. Mobile: Holding out for ALL the toys! ;) Awesomely crafted review as always, and I love the way the brightly colored transitions "pop" on my screen. I think this phone is cool too, and that's one of the benefits of never quite growing up. Cooling system does not work the well... if they were serious, they would have designed the phone differently. And what's up with the fake buttons?

[@thosko98]

I don't even game much on my phone but this looks interesting purely due to the fact that it's not just another glass and metal slab, and it has the combination of stereo speakers and a headphone jack, something that my Moto X Style has.

[@falcongunner33]

Great review, as always. As a guy that needs a headphone jack, this phone has caught my attention in the event Samsung does indeed axe the jack for the S10. I wouldn't even mind if the next version of this guy just has 2 usb c ports and no headphone jack. I simply must have the ability to be listening to audio through a wire and charging simultaneously for my day to day. I also love the idea of implementing cooling in a smartphone to help keep that processor cool so it'll last longer.

I'm not into mobile gaming (I have a gaming PC for that) but I appreciate this phone. Love the design and the fact that they're trying cool new stuff.

How responsive are the ultrasonic triggers? I heard they could be laggy or unreliable. I really want to see what the computer dock is like. That will be the main factor for me.

[@TheMrMobile]

Yeah Dave2D made a great point about that; if you're using them as triggers they're probably too laggy, which is a surprising oversight on ASUS's part. I use them mainly as rudder controls in World of Warships and for drifting in Asphalt, so they work great for me.
