Odd to make a gaming phone with these kind of specs. There isn't a single game on the Google play store that comes even remotely close to needing those kinds of specs, not even emulated games would need that much. It just kind of seems like flexing, there's no real reason to have a gaming focused phone. --- https://imgur.com/23CCcZB https://imgur.com/32mwCo1 https://imgur.com/oqklqKC <cite>pres_madagascar posted [p:933314020] in Why did As...

It even comes with an attachable cooling fan, and the phone itself has a vent on the back. It looks amazing for only being $600, I just don't see the purpose for it in terms of gaming. Now, in terms of doing some intensive video editing and shit I can see the value in it. They make two versions too, one with their own version of Android on it, and one with stock Android like the pixel phones. --- https://imgur.com/23CCcZB https://imgur.com/32mwCo1 https://imgur.com/oqklqKC <cite>pres_madagascar posted [p:933314246] in Why did As...

Frankly, if they didnt pull a stunt like this, the fact that they released a phone wouldnt even be on anyones radar. Its unnecessary, but it also throws mud on the face of the competition. Really highlights how much they overprice. <cite>NeoShadowhen posted [p:933316310] in Why did As...
