Since SD888 has that efficiency issue, I'd have to imagine that they put in an even bigger battery in it, but I don't know how that could translate into a price bump. And ROGP3 is already an extremely specialized gaming device to the point of excessiveness, I don't know what other features they could cram into ROGP5, but maybe they could continue to surprise.

I'm curious about the Mini, since I don't like huge phones and that seems to be all there is anymore, and what smaller ones there are typically are underspecced too much. I suspect and hope that ASUS being ASUS would still put good components in it despite it being smaller. Of course, they'll probably do one little thing that will kill it for me, like no SD slot or a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Too bad it sounds like it's going to be a long wait.

The original battery which came the phone was good. I purchased anew battery through original Asus and it is as bad the old used battery. Why can not they improve the quality of battery when they charge more than Rs 1000. It is bad as duplicate one I purchased for Rs 500 and within ,20 minutes it comes from to 75 % of the battery charge

ASUS should relaunch it's upgraded zen maxpro series in India, one of the biggest markets. There is no phone in that band from ASUS for almost a year now. ASUS had missed on the surge in demand due to lock down.

Users will think many times before purchasing Asus phone.

Fix your software team first.

Asus makes great flagship phones but they have horrible availability! You can't find the Zenfone 7 and 7 Pro outside of Taiwan and a few European countries..

As a rog 2 owner, I think I'm done with Asus. The price was a value for a feature packed phone but now it's too much for the  querks. The battery went from stellar to junk, no wifi calling, and lack of updates makes me want to go back to Samsung. Maybe they need a rog lite. 888, 12ram, 512hd, under 900US.

Will it work on Verizon? If not, pass!

I have the rog2. Any company that produces a phone without 'volte' does not deserve to exist. Asus is that company.

Hi , I would like to see ASUS come back with a dual Sims and a dedicated micro Sd card slot , I changed from Asus , which I was very happy with , but due to the newer phones being 2 Sims or 1 Sims and sd card ,was not suitable for my needs , keep up the good work !
