      Don't think many games need it but it definitely helps performance and graphics. These also have better cooling too

      • Murkymerv on 01/09/2023 - 16:02

        Water cooled or liquid ?

    • vSchweetz on 31/08/2023 - 22:08

      Good ol' Diablo Immortal for starters…

    Is this a folding phone? I think it folds.

  • Spacexyz on 31/08/2023 - 22:17

    Is this the best gaming phone on the planet?

      Redmagic 8s probably better

  • dfg555 on 31/08/2023 - 22:29

    red magic 8s pro is better, that built-in fan provides higher consistent clock speeds.

    • dein_gesicht on 07/09/2023 - 09:14

      I read this phone suffers from heaps of bugs

    I have the non themed version. Great phone, front facing symmetrical loud speakers are loud and crisp and 6k mAh battery lasts forever. Also, Headphone jack!

    Only complain about it is its heavy AF.

  • michael9865 on 01/09/2023 - 00:02

    How does it compare to S23 ultra

    • iuselect on 01/09/2023 - 09:57

      Depends on what you want on a phone. This definitely is a thick and heavy phone with sub-par cameras (compared to every other flagship released at the time). Software experience is ok, but really the gaming aspect is the gimmick of this phone. the gaming triggers, 165hz (but not all games support anywhere close to this), gaming software are all pretty nice.

      As someone who owns this phone, I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you play games a lot of the day. I do like the convenience of not having to carry around gaming triggers for cod and I can quickly jump into a game. But for day to day stuff, it's really inconvenient due to the size and bad cameras. I think I also have a dud unit since my cameras are incredibly laggy, but when it does work, quality of photos are pretty average (even with gcam).

  • Fixmyi on 01/09/2023 - 00:59

    I had rog 2 and screen is gone after a slip out of pocket. Got the screen replaced and same thing happen again. They are known for this internal screen damage. Not sure how much they have improved in that terms.

  • magicpelgrave on 01/09/2023 - 05:54

    Need to upgrade my S10e. Don't care for gaming or camera quality. More concerned about quality screen and battery life. Any suggestions?

      The moto edge neo would be my pic for a similar form factor, at minimal extra cost, one was on a JB deal posted not too long ago

    • iuselect on 01/09/2023 - 09:40

      If you are coming from a s10e, you will really notice the size and weight. This is a THICK phone and very heavy.. It's really awkward to hold one handed. I probably wouldn't recommend it based on that.

      the 1080p 165hz screen is quite nice though, battery life is alright, the 60w charger is fantastic and very fast. I think this phone is only good if you want to play games..

  • Hellcat on 01/09/2023 - 07:45

    Will only get another android update (14). So not good if anyone planning to keep it more than a year or 2

  • obit11 on 01/09/2023 - 08:20

    Bought one last time around when they were this price. Wicked Wednesday was on too. Love the screen and battery life.

  • dsiritz on 01/09/2023 - 08:21

    I'll never understand why ~$1k android phones still neglect to use a 4k selfie camera or have any decent cameras in general. Snapdrag 8+ Gen 1? Over a year old. This also has no wireless charging and the max charge speed is comparably average compared to other phones in this bracket.

    • CrispyChrispy on 01/09/2023 - 08:53

      Snapdrag 8+ Gen 1? Over a year old.

      Phone was released more than a year ago

      That all seems like fluff on a phone completely focussed on gaming performance.

  • neonlight on 03/09/2023 - 15:52

    Still too expensive I think sub $600 I would get one

  • Hellcat on 10/09/2023 - 08:51

    I just bought and was able to negotiate 2 years damage cover (worth $179) for the same price :-).
