With LG leaving the phone market, we need a good phone with headphone and DAC
Facts
The dac in here is actually great.
Damn has LG left the phone marked!? I remember when EVERYONE used to have LG phones. *vividly remembers biiiiiiing Life's Good logo* Then everyone got HTC 🤩, then Samsung 😁, then everyone got iPayPhone 😔
What is the sound quality like through Bluetooth headphones and how does it compare to other phones does the dac improve the sound quality when using Bluetooth headphones
@@talhaimran5872 lol. F no. Dac only provides support for wired. Bluetooth has interference and batteries on bluetooth headphone, earphone won't last long and it cannot drive the headphones well because it lacks power both in battery and wattage needed. Dac is a solid converter of sound waves that no Bluetooth can compare to
Never knew we would get to a time where my phone has more ram than my laptop or even gaming pc
Truely bonkers
And its god damn ddr5
@@AKagNA yep this phone has more ddr5 memory than i have ddr4
Android is so badly optimized, it uses more RAM than windows (in my experience)
and a better CPU
Simply due to the fact it's a high spec phone with a headphone jack on it alone, I am now considering this phone for my next future upgrade.
Likewise, am I. If my current phone ever goes belly up (I've already had it three years) this will be my phone of choice.
Yes, exactly my thoughts. I'll go look up the prices after I'm done watching
Same. I hate gaming on mobile, but the DAC + massive 6000 mah battery make this very attractive.
It just makes sense. 800€? Why would you buy any other Android when this has such insane specs.

@@littletabletalks4964 I take very good care of my phones. They all look mint even after 2 or 3 year's of use. That ASUS wouldn't repair it even as a paid repair and even lied about the screen in my local market being unique just shows how much integrity they lack.

I really didn't think I'd get excited for a new phone but finally someone realised there's a huge market for phones that prioritise battery over being slim and don't make artificial problems to sell a proprietary solution.
I now know what my next phone is.
I’m just amazed a phone OEM finally realized you can jam in a camera in the small bezel atop your screen even if it’s only wide enough to accommodate the speaker.
Huh? My phone has this (axon 7)
Galaxy S9 peaked in that aspect, only problem was the curved glass. Best design would be a flat S9, with maybe a better camera for face unlock. But the fingerprint sensor in the back is still a great solution, maybe putting it in the unlock button would modernize it.
Not really a new thing there OP
but why not have the main camera flip up instead so your selfies actually look good?
@@NanashiCAST look at samsung galaxy a80 lol, that phone already nailed it on that one
Looks like you forgot to mention the Bypass charging feature on this phone. Power straight to soc which means no battery heating while gaming with charger plugged in
lol didn't care at all about most of these features but this one is great I still don't get why most modern laptops can't do this. Just let me keep the battery healthy guys
oh thats cool stuff

I really want to see front facing stereo speakers on every new phone. I had them on my Nexus 6p, and as someone that doesn't use headphones much, I think they are rather important to have on a phone.
I've come to the point where I can literally recite Linus's segues word for word before he even says them.

About Asus committing to updates, I have an Asus Zenfone 5Z (5 in some regions) and I have gotten 2 major updates, from Android 8 up until Android 10. I am satisfied with what I've gotten from Asus on the software side and their major revamp of their software was quite nice to see, both on ZenUI and the ROGUI.
I have seriously considered ROG phones just for the battery limit feature. I think that’s something every phone should have. That, longer software support and improved repairability (by design and parts availability) is what I think is missing (or at least to uncommon) in today’s phones.
I love it that Asus just calls their phones 'phone'
because it's a phone

1:51 How on earth is a B&W OLED display a benefit over The almighty RGB ROG logo?!?
RGB everything is seen as too much. So gaming phones over time have begun to look less aesthetically “extra” to look better. IMO it does look better with less RGB

this is actually the most in depth and kinda unbiased review of this phone ... huh. GJ Linus !
Everyone says the camera is trash ...hmmm
Asus has been my favorite smartphone brand since 2014. They've been mostly doing great in that segment
Typical ASUS, two batteries and cooling performance and a headphone jack. Nuts!
they ditched the headphone jack on the ROG phone 3 tho.... good to see they got pounded over that stupid decision
@@jesusbarrera6916 they did get pounded over quite harshly, yes!
Yeah its refreshing to see this, i think the Zenfone 7 also ditched the headphone jack and I hope the next Zenfone to that to be released later also gets this treatment, it's not just slap in that basic headphone jack setup too here, heckin built quite over the average headphone jack setups on average phones
Sony made this kind of move way earlier too lol, glad the Mark II stuff of their flagship Xperia phones has those headphone jacks back too. Would be looking forward for more things like this where the complaints are made resolved again (even though why did they made a thing to be complained at lol)
@@jesusbarrera6916 the official reason was that the 865 needed a separate modem so it was either sacrifice battery capacity for the jack or sacrifice the jack

You didn't mention the Bypass Battery charging, which connects the power from charger directly to the system skipping the battery to keep power without heating battery.
This addresses 2 of my big issues with phones these day, lack of headphone jack and notch/punchhole camera
Oh shit: the charge limiter! That device has everything I have always asked from phone. I must have that
I don't understand why the phone makers aren't making something like this already. It's freaking stupid. I don't need a gaming phone but I guess I will have to get one to get all the other features I do need.
@@wingracer1614 I am fairly sure phone makers already do [limit how high you can charge the battery], they just hide it from the end-user and the limit is static. Well, I suppose those phones that became known for blowing up might have been an exception, though I am not sure as I dont remember the cause.
@@wingracer1614 Yeah, it's insane that this wasn't in Android 3, let alone ... 11 ? 12 ? Which one is the latest these days. I still have an S7 with Android 9.
Oh, and it would be so nice if you could also limit the power of the charging. Maybe I do have 65W charger, but I would like, in order to damage/wear/heat the battery the least, to charge at 10W from time to time. Like when I am at home and I know I won't be going anywhere, and I don't need the phone right now, so why not charge it up from 30% to 80%. I have no problem if it takes 4 hours while I'm working on the laptop.
@@wingracer1614 it's not a gaming phone if you use it's specs on work or media, to it's fullest. Gaming desktops are a misnomer as the specs a gamer is attracted to will also attract photo and video editors and graphic artists...
exactly now i can put my phone on the charger at night instead of worrying about how the battery will go to shit
Honestly, if this device is repairable, it's probably the best smartphone I've ever laid my eyes on. The specs will allow it to last 7 years and, as long as you get the $799 version which is just better, it does not totally break the bank. One day I will need to upgrade my Samsung S5 and picking one of these up used or with a cracked screen in a year or so would be great.
The S5 still work ok buy todays standards, but a lot of games will lag on it. Its one of those phones where you only really need to replace it if it stops doing what you need it to do.
How do you keep that running? My S7 starts lagging af as soon as i activate Bluetooth, randomly stutters and WiFi suddenly disconnects...
"the specs will last for 7 years" yeah especially with 1 year of os updates
@@djpanncake i used to have one too, flashed lineageos and it was fast again
@@Raja-ev1ly True, sadly samsung is being an ass lately, is way easier to brick your device when trying to flash lineage in newer devices. Even at xda roms for newer samsung devices are coming more and more late with way fewer variations.
OneUI is great by itself but is too bloated for home use.
Linus you need to go over the issues of this phone. It has some fatal issues that causes the wifi to stop workingand the only remedy is replacing the motherboard. Many people still have the problem after getting it replaced and asus is handling it terribly. This is a common problem this phone has and asus hasnt warned or said anything publicly about this problem. I mainly bought this phone because of this review in the first place. Please Linus talk about this issue..... ASUS has been giving many of us the run around and they simply refused to do anything anymore because "they dont have the parts"

The fact that the headphone jack is back means i`m buying it.
Ikr. When the price drops I'm going for it
When a phone has more than 1 usb c port a head phone jack will not be needed
@@SASMacDroid False. The whole point of not using the traditional bottom USB port is to keep the annoying cord away from your fingers while in landscape mode. And you can rest the bottom of the phone on your body while laying in bed using portrait mode, without the cord being in the way. And who the hell has a 3.5mm to USB converter? I don't know.

5:10 Rocking the dark crystal lol that's a good old movie.
I would buy it just for being a high end phone that actually has a headphone jack and no notch/punch hole
check out the sony xperia line, they've been doing the same thing.
Top it of with a beefy battery. Very solid outing indeed. Peeked my interest. Shame it doesn't have IR. But I can see how that's something not many people care about (sadly... It's super useful 😶).
Yeah though speaking of punch holes the way it doesn't have that obtrusive display design and particularly how the vertical aspect ratio of the display is 20.4 makes me think how quite confident they are, time to wait how good they'll sell
Also the white ROG design has troppled down it's influence to this one from that Zephyrus Linus talked about two days ago, nice to look at, pretty contrast without that red line that may not be everyone's taste but still has those sharp lines though which may also not be everyone's taste
Still that engineering work to get the SoC to be located in the middle tho and the plethora of user inputs, rare to see

Headphone jack, huge battery, good speakers. When my 4 year old Galaxy S7 Edge dies, this is the phone I will purchase.
I'm running on the the same phone lol. Unfortunately I gave in because I moved to another country and bought a s20. But I was seriously debating between the 20 and the ROG 3
@@JMW10o0o I bet if the ROG 3 had a headphone jack, you would have chosen it lol
Save yourself 1000 dollars and buy a poco f2 pro instead. Or x3 if you want high refresh rate displays. Plus you'll actually get software updates.
@@petergrammortensen1884 everyone's got their preferences, poco cuts a lot of corners
@@petergrammortensen1884 Thanks for the recommendation. I won't go with the ultimate version anyways. I would rather take 799 or 899 euro version. Considering that I would use this for minimum 5 years, I think it is a good deal.
Guess the NDA just ended. Good luck seeing this phone everywhere today.
what's NDA?

Hands down....this is a beast. I like how they are really giving you the enjoyment of the phone. We kind of have to have one now, so it's really cool to be way on the other side of things, and specifically marketed. I like that. The comic augmented box, is sick. This phone is telling me I'm a nerd, and it's OK.
Come on, Linus. You are holding a gaming phone, yet you only mention the shoulder buttons in passing? Tell us how they feel, how this new iteration is compared to the previous one etc. This is kind of a major selling point for the device.
If this thing can run Bloons Tower Defense round 98 at 60fps, I’m sold
This is hella underrated! 😂
Lol, yeah.
That's all we need

If they don’t commit to software updates at least we still have the xda forum full of amazing developers
Still as long as they do security patches and bug fixes I'm good. I don't really care about having the latest Android version.
@@CheapBastard1988 hopefully they do
I bought the phone when it came out. Lasted a total of 4 months.
1 month finger print scanner stopped working. 2 months one speaker stop working. 3 months i dropped it form hip height n crack. After that i had sim drops n wouldn't recognize it i would need to restart the cellphone to get service again. 4 months and it completely stop recognizing the sim at all. Still rocking my huawei mate 20x that i bought loong again n still gets the job done. And i have dropped it like 2000 times for real after 4 yrs of use battery still last all day.
I miss huawei
This is a perfectly reasonable time to upload this.
Depends where you are in the world I guess :P
Haha yes

Yes. 1pm perfect time.
An event for it was live an hour and a half ago.
I can't believe everyone else marked up the price of their phones so high that this thing is actually reasonably priced.

I really want to buy these gaming phones, but they keep putting low res screens in them. It's incredibly annoying. Yes, at these screen sizes you CAN tell the difference, (you can actually see pixels when reading text with phones this big), and batteries are so huge now that battery life savings isn't nearly as legitimate of an argument as it used to be. Midrange 400 dollar phones from 5 years ago had 1440p displays and now we are supposed to accept 1080p in phones that cost twice as much? That's gaslighting as far as I'm concerned. These are not "top shelf specs", not with such a low 2012 display resolution. Anyone who argues in favor of taking such a step back either has bad eyes or has been gaslit into paying more for less.

I actually am a small business owner, and I wanted to try Freshbooks, but unfortunately it's not compatible with the Portuguese government/financial/accountancy laws/requirements...
I actually had to go with products (SaaS) made in Portugal for that... Which severely limited the amount of choice/options I could choose from.

Well, until Android gets it's head out of the sand and implements it as a basic feature (something that shold've been done since Android 3, but here we are) there are apps, like AccuBattery which will notify you when you get to 80% or more. Not as simple and clean, but better than nothing.
Huawei phones have it too, I assume other brands as well
Asus zenfone: "please someone buy me, I exist too"
Asus ROG phone: "I will crush your samsung like I crushed that guy in the bus"
My biggest issue is no CDMA support and all the GSM carriers around me have crap reception.
omfg i had one of those phones years back and completely forgot that the guys who made zenfones were the same guys producing ROG stuff lol. the performance on that thing was semi dogshit though
@@emailing haha me too, I had it for a month and got something different cause I thought it was pretty crappy haha

It's a beast yes, but the camera is mediocre
Imagine that somewhere in the future phones can be purchased just like how a gaming pc is built
"This phone might be an absolute unit."
Is that a Cleetus McFarland reference?
Apparently the prices are these (I saw this in another video)
ROG5
8GB / 128GB = € 799
12GB / 256GB = € 899
16GB / 256GB = € 999
ROG5 Pro
16GB / 512GB = € 1199

18GB / 512GB = € 1299
Bruh for that price i cud get like the Zephyrus G14 or G15

@@whitehavencpu6813 The problem is that with a desktop, a personal Samsung tablet and a work iPad I don't really need a laptop.

like tf are you gonna do with a $1000 android phone that any normal mid-range phone for $500 max can't do?
Most games for android run fine, because they target the market which run shitty $200 pocophones and worse from 3 years ago... Mobile games are capped at 120fps anyways, plus the network latency will affect you much more than fps for any competitive mobile game. This phone is just a gimmick at such an asking price lol. no different from an iPhone.

As an owner of the ROG phone 3, for around 6 months (sad face I know, bad timing) I can not express my biggest gripes to literally be waterproofing and wireless charging being absent. While without wireless charging it's not a huge loss at first making it a minor gripe, it is something I can't ignore especially when I wired up so much of my house and work for wireless. I'm so used to just dropping my phone on a wireless pad even for a few minutes throughout my day, and carrying a cable frustrates me to no end, because in spite of huge battery I do serious work with it all day and need multiple charge cycles. How serious? I use the dock with keyboard, mouse, and monitor when I can, kind of serious. More importantly though is waterproofing, I've had to send this thing back 3 times already because I do a lot of work outside and this thing feels like it can barely survive being in the bathroom when I take a shower, let alone trying to use it outside in the rain. I've taken to using my old S8+ any day it's going to even think of raining, and while it's not a terrible substitute I miss my rog phone on those days. Gaming is just a nice bonus at this point. Sadly though I don't see myself buying the 5, or any ROG phone again until they at least get waterproofing. and ideally some wireless charging, but really waterproofing at least.
I feel like this entire video is sponsored by Asus after watching jerryrigeverything's breakdown...
It failed his bend test Lol 🤣
