Asus ROG 2 phone to be unveiled July 23rd

https://9to5google.com/2019/07/05/asus-rog-phone-2-launch-july-23/


Anybody noticed this?

Definitely interesting to see if the 120 Hz display is still OLED, if so this is huge for the entire premium market (like upcoming iPhones etc) otherwise cant imagine to loose the benefits of OLED because of 120 Hz when 90 Hz is already super fluid - what do you guys and girls think?...

Flossy Carter / Android Police issue seems to have been settled

Is B&H usually accurate about things like this, or do they just write down random dates?

I feel like phone manufacturers can't really do big improvements to the build of the phone , maybe now it's time to increase durability and toughness

Seeing as we don't really have much in terms of upgrades besides underscreen cameras , and the incremenetal upgrade cycle( better sensor , better processor , more RAM/storage, bigger bsttery) maybe it's a good time for phone manufacturers to make their phone resist to drops and scratches , because right now most of us are either rocking a case or a skin , because the materials are too fragile.

Chromecast vs Miracast for screen mirroring gaming using controllers. Which is better in 2019?

I would ideally like to do this with 2 ps3 controllers wirelessly connected to my phone with bluetooth. What I'm hoping is that even with th...
