I am not buying a foldable. I'd rather not have a permanent crease on my display thank you, especially with the numerous foldables that break after months of use.
Ironically, I had a-not-so amazing experience with foldables recently, and realized that I might just prefer the best slab that I can get. In many ways, that actually is this ROG Phone. The problem for me is now that I’ve looked seriously into it, I’ve realized that it’s $1400. That for the camera system this thing packs is a huge no-no. It’s so weird that they’re dumb enough to price this so high, when things like the Ally are so reasonable.
What’s all the more frustrating here is that it didn’t have to be this way. I understand that Asus doesn’t have the computational photography chops to compete with the big 3, but they could’ve pulled a Xioami and just stuffed it full of the best camera hardware they could get their hands on. That approach would also be thematically compatible with the rest of the phone (having insane hardware).
