Title: Asus ROG gaming phone 3
Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 23 July 2020, 16:17:57: Thoughts ?

The fact that they're on 3, means clearly these rigs are popular and selling.

144hz screen, 270hz touch input, $800 base price, $1100 loaded.

Negatory, however, Tp4 only knows like 4 other hughmahhns.

That said, they're not doing as badly at making phones as RED, so *shrug* if it makes them happy.

Or is it world's worst repair service turnaround time?
