Next time you go to post, try scrolling down a bit to see if there's already a specific subforum for that exact thing.

The phone is ugly and its 9.5mm thick. 10mm = 1cm. Let that sink into your head.

 

If you are after battery life, opt for the Galaxy M30s instead.

Well, of course it´s 1cm thick, it´s a freaking gaming phone

I bought it because, before pixel 4 launch, it was the only NON-CHINESE brand phone that offer flagship grade processor and RAM, high refresh rate OLED screen, UFS 3.0, vapour chamber, in-display fingerprint scanner, notch-less design and big battery. Some bonus features I also found nice to have are dual front firing speaker, flat screen, air trigger (which can mimic pixel squeeze gesture), aesthetic (I quite like the rainbow reflective lines), side USB-C port (so that I can put it portrait on a phone stand while plugged in). Some drawbacks are no OIS, big and heavy, bad screen quality (Chinese OLED panel, not Samsung panel), though these are not deal-breakers for me. I would say it sure is great even for non-gamers.

I did consider buying it but got turned off by Asus' software policies. The original ROG Phone was released last year and still hasn't been updated to Android 9. I've had an Asus tablet in the past and it was the same story. I'm not even sure how well it would perform on a daily basis when compared to another flagship with a better optimization like the OP 7T Pro. And yes, it's a huge phone. I finally went for the OP7.

I want to buy it, better start saving!

ROG phone is probably pretty heavy but I dont get the impression it would be that un-ergonomic. I'd love to try one out but they're very hard to find where I live and importing isn't really an option for me for various reasons

Where I found it was on Amazon:
