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.

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.

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.

Honestly, if this device is repairable, it's probably the best smartphone I've ever laid my eyes on. The specs will allow it to last 7 years and, as long as you get the $799 version which is just better, it does not totally break the bank.

I have seriously considered ROG phones just for the battery limit feature. I think that’s something every phone should have. That, longer software support and improved repairability (by design and parts availability) is what I think is missing (or at least to uncommon) in today’s phones.

How many people have you actually seen with a folding phone? They're fragile gimmicks in my opinion. Neat? Yeah, but... not exactly what I'd call innovative. They're definitely inventive, but not innovative.

I bought an expensive ROG phone earlier in the year. The screen started failing after 6 months and ASUS refused to replace it, either under warranty or as a normal repair. Shocking customer service!

@@littletabletalks4964 I take very good care of my phones. They all look mint even after 2 or 3 year's of use. That ASUS wouldn't repair it even as a paid repair and even lied about the screen in my local market being unique just shows how much integrity they lack.

Asus has been my favorite smartphone brand since 2014. They've been mostly doing great in that segment

I never game on mobile, yet I'm seriously considering ROG phones for the day I'll replace my good old Galaxy S8. I mean, you get a high refresh rate display, a headphone jack, decent cameras and most importantly one of the best cooled smartphone with the possibility to go even further with an external cooler? I'm sold.

If they were to give us decent specs with a 90hz screen and even just a few of the features here for around $300-400 it would be an insane deal. I also love how LG is no longer the only one to include a decent headphone DAC in their phones (especially since they might be stopping production).

Haven't been excited about a phone like this since htc days

I own the first version of this phone and one of my biggest complaints is the USB C on the bottom is SUPER fragile and will wear down with regular use eventually not connecting to the special peripherals. From the look of the design, nothing has changed from that department. But other than that the phone is a tank. However I don't know why they keep saying the speakers are good, maybe mine have slowly died, but I can barely hear calls on mine now a couple years later.

I wish Telcos in Australia would carry something other than Apple, Samsung and Oppo... This would be at the top of my list if I could get in on plan. The only place I ever even saw an ROG phone was in JB Hifi (Aussie electronics retailer), And I think they were importing them.

As an owner of the ROG phone 3, for around 6 months (sad face I know, bad timing) I can not express my biggest gripes to literally be waterproofing and wireless charging being absent. While without wireless charging it's not a huge loss at first making it a minor gripe, it is something I can't ignore especially when I wired up so much of my house and work for wireless. I'm so used to just dropping my phone on a wireless pad even for a few minutes throughout my day, and carrying a cable frustrates me to no end, because in spite of huge battery I do serious work with it all day and need multiple charge cycles. How serious? I use the dock with keyboard, mouse, and monitor when I can, kind of serious. More importantly though is waterproofing, I've had to send this thing back 3 times already because I do a lot of work outside and this thing feels like it can barely survive being in the bathroom when I take a shower, let alone trying to use it outside in the rain. I've taken to using my old S8+ any day it's going to even think of raining, and while it's not a terrible substitute I miss my rog phone on those days. Gaming is just a nice bonus at this point. Sadly though I don't see myself buying the 5, or any ROG phone again until they at least get waterproofing. and ideally some wireless charging, but really waterproofing at least.

I want that charging limit on my phone
