RoG 5 is massive disappointment

The phone bends and cracks even more easily than the iPhone 6 plus. It has a vapor chamber smaller than any previous RoG device, and in fact smaller than any gaming phone on the market. They've also taken away the vent from the back that allowed heat to escape (I guess because some YouTube reviewers with no highschool diploma declared themselves engineers and told everyone the vent was a gimmick).

Why couldn't they just take the RoG 3 and replace the chip with an 888?...

Google should advertise Nearby Share more

iPhones' AirDrop aren't an advantage over Android anymore since Nearby Share was released but from my experience, most of my friends don't even know what Nearby Share is.

There have been alot of situations where I asked someone to send me data and vice versa and they ask "Shareit?" and while Shareit works fine, it's incredibly slow. I always say "I prefer Nearby Share" and then they ask "What is that?" then I tell them about the feature and how to turn it on.

I really appreciate Nearby Share,...

Ask Me Anything about the OnePlus 9 Pro or ASUS ROG Phone 5!

Hi Reddit,

I'm back again with an AMA on two phones you may be interested in: the OnePlus 9 Pro and the ASUS ROG Phone 5.

I've done an extensive general review for the former and a gaming review for the latter on XDA, but if you have any specific questions about either of these two devices, feel free to ask away! I'll answer as many questions as I can today but will continue to re...

Why is every manufacturer making fancy new ways to charge instead of just giving better batteries?

If there's anything I've learned having used my Galaxy S8 for the last 5 years (4?), it's that running out of battery sucks.

I hate having to remember to top out my phone before I leave the house. It sucks having to turn down everything to save my last 15%.

Sure, some of that is age, but some of that is just phone manufacturers putting more weight and R&D into cool ways to charge (how many new names for fast charging can you patent?) Instead of just putting a bigger battery inside.

And thi...

Am I the only who doesn't really like OLED?

OLED is very popular right now and most people will almost always consider it when buying a new phone, now hear me out, I do agree that OLED has punchy colors, deep blacks, nice contrast BUT at times the blacks are just too deep it destroys the shadow. Movies with night scene are so hard to see because of this and there seems to be some kind of color banding....
