[@phinix250]

@@omoregieise7520 power is routed to the chip first to power it, then what is left over is sent to the battery. traditionally the chip is only powered by the battery and the charger charges the battery. by bypassing the battery during gaming the battery does not go through the charge cycle and generate extra heat. in theory it should preserve battery life and make heavy use cooler.

I've been daily driving ROG phones for two years now, ROG 3 in 2020 and ROG 5 in 2021 and I can't do anything but agree. The entire user experience is just way above anything else I've tried before like the iPhones and Samsung's Notes. If you consume media alot and spend time on your phone I'd really recommend getting a gaming phone, you'll get the best speakers on the market, a big display with extremely accurate responsiveness, extremely quick load times, smooth refresh rate, Nothing lags ever, You'll also get tons of memory, which my ROG 3 had 1Tb of. I never really even play games but when I extremely rarely do it's completely different than what it's like on a normal phone, so different in fact that it changed my opinion on mobile games.

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~

It is already staple in laptops that I am surprised it took this long to be adapted into phones Lol

[@halami2149]

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

Marques really conveniently forgot about the Sony Xperia which brought back the headphone jack and a notchless/punch hole less/ nonsense less/ screen and the bypass mode which he explained with so much excitement for this phone. I think he didn't mention this feature about the Sony phone in his review about that phone and if he did it was like in a very plain simple way of telling that "Sony Xperia has this bypass mode or whatever" way.. The way any mainstream reviewer will explain about positive features of any other phones than Sony is really loud and clear. I am quite sure that reviewers, when they review Sony phones don't share the positive thing about the phone in the same way as they would main stream phones. BTW the thing is that people have started talking more about the Xperia since the mark 2 version. How can one be sure? just look at the sudden addition of the battery saving mode and the pro video mode with 21:9 aspect option in the galaxy phones in recent updates. Worlds most stubborn company Apple added RAW capture in the pictures for the Iphone 12 and the Dolby vision support.

"the call quality is definitely not great" Anybody remember why phones were invented?

[@saurav_rimal]

Yeah not for quality but to call lol

[@yashkerure]

@@saurav_rimal it's been more than a decade since the birth of mobile phones and smartphones. I think we should be way past even discussing call quality. It should be good enough to not be a topic of discussion. But I'm surprised that it's not achieved yet. That's why I made the comment

[@fakename287]

@@yashkerure so at first I was going to argue and say that phones are way past simply being for calls (I mean, it's a whole miniaturized computer at this point) but you know what, you're right, it's been like 3 decades since the big ol motorola bricks started becoming commercially available so call quality shouldn't even be a topic of discussion at this point

[@Felixprogram]

@@yashkerure I totally agree. While smartphones were improved in many ways it looks like this has been completely left on the table - If I remember correctly we're even using the same wireless standard as in the early days of mobile phones for calls.

I'd say bypass charging can be very useful for gadgets like phones, laptops and tablets. That can be useful for gaming, but also long editing or productivity sessions

[@jerkov420]

The basic version alone is bomb already! The neverending customizability really makes this phone your own. Also the RGB lighting (which wasn't discussed in the video) is a pretty mad flex 💪

@@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.

[@SKPetel]

one use case for "gaming phones" that people don't talk about enough in these reviews is how amazing they are as emulation devices. I game alot on my phone, but almost exclusivly with emulaators. I can play anythins from the days of the NES to dreamcast, PS2 and Switch games. (this is also why I briefly considered getting the microsoft duo. emulating DS games on this is amazing.)

[@Neillionaire]

In Chinese, the words "4" and "death" are pronounced very similarly, and in Japanese, they're pronounced exactly the same, hence the stigma.
