ASUS has made a lot of ROG Phones since they first launched in 2018, and with each revision, it comes closer to perfection… Can innovation really keep moving fast enough to keep a smartphone interesting?

Imagine having all those magnificent specs but the thing that stands out the most is that it has a headphone jack and a charger

[@Deltarious]

Simply due to the fact it's a high spec phone with a headphone jack on it alone, I am now considering this phone for my next future upgrade.

but not durable tested by jerry

[@lync8432]

Never knew we would get to a time where my phone has more ram than my laptop or even gaming pc

[@vikram1687]

When you realise this phone has more ram than your pc phone printer fridge vacuum cleaner altogether combined

[@Clay3613]

Don't bend it.

[@bestgameplay831]

WHO CARES IF ITS HEAVY OWNO 200 GRAMS??

[@bariumlanthanum6298]

18GB ram and 512GB storage in a phone is beyond amazing, considering 16gb is a good amount of ram for a main computer

[@varnxxx]

I'm glad this was covered on the main channel.

[@watchulookinat23]

Good phone? Enjoy the specs when it snaps

How to sell a phone:

[@DinoFancellu]

With LG leaving the phone market, we need a good phone with headphone and DAC

[@Umamis_Boy]

I would really love those pressure sensitive shoulder buttons to be standard on phones in general. The worst part about playing emulators on phones is the shoulder buttons.

About Asus committing to updates, I have an Asus Zenfone 5Z (5 in some regions) and I have gotten 2 major updates, from Android 8 up until Android 10. I am satisfied with what I've gotten from Asus on the software side and their major revamp of their software was quite nice to see, both on ZenUI and the ROGUI.

So for those who don't get it, at

[@Galistia]

I really want to see front facing stereo speakers on every new phone. I had them on my Nexus 6p, and as someone that doesn't use headphones much, I think they are rather important to have on a phone.

[@ClAddict]

I feel like Linus’ favorite part about recording videos lately has been the transitions to sponsors. He always brightens up into them

[@idontwalkslow]

Looks like you forgot to mention the Bypass charging feature on this phone. Power straight to soc which means no battery heating while gaming with charger plugged in

[@AstonGryffynn]

I’m just amazed a phone OEM finally realized you can jam in a camera in the small bezel atop your screen even if it’s only wide enough to accommodate the speaker.
