I was able to get it new for 400 dollars now

If you can't figure out where the fingerprint sensor is without looking at the back of the device it sounds like a you problem not the phone's problem.

$1500 for gaming + photography + 8k/30fps + 144hz screen, a phone for enthusiasts... Hmmmmm.. another hmmmm.. Snapdragon 888 like the other flagship phones.. hmmm.. hmmmm... Hmmmmmmm.. 🤔🤔🤔
$1500 hmmmmm...

7:33 "google's portrait mode is also superior" (just pause and watch the images carefully)


i used to rely on these reviews, not anymore from now on. i could do a better review than this.

Great i want

Video is helpful for us

No such thing as too much phone. The more phone the better a lack of phone is what the modern phone is exactly. As ugly as it is this has more interesting features than any Samsung or One plus device within the last 5+ years.... This is a perfect representation of what major manufacturers should be doing.

This phone also has almost every single 4G and 5G Basebands...Surprised that wasn't mentioned seeing how no other phone has that.

Wow

It's number one on DXO - so there is that. Camera must be serious.

@engaget what is the name of the track in the background?

Great review

It coukdn't even outdo current ASUS phones. What the hell is this thing even?

Lol 1500 nvm

You hopefully smashed the lanterned fly

DxoMark just released their camera review of this phone running the newest updated camera software, and IT BEAT THE iPHONE 12 PRO MAX!! Highest score of ANY phone in the USA, and 5th highest globally! BOOM!

Not a good camera, not a good design, not a good battery life, not an unlocked bootloader, not any new differentiable feature still charging $1500 dollars who wants to burn money will buy this device for sure.

Why does it feel like Qualcomm is selling off their batch of engineering samples.......this phone (and its accessories) just don't look very polished

Horrendous non bodacious looking smartphone.

WHY

This phone pefectly captures qualcomm’s business model: pay us more because we are qualcomm. Not one thought given to value. Dated design for more money than other flagships means this won’t sell.

What's the AnTuTu benchmark, I'm curious

I would call this phone 'confused' becuase it doesn't have any concept to call it concept phone or it meant for mainstream power user group.. And ROG 5 beat this benchmarking.

Instead of teaming up with Samsung(arguably the Best Android phone maker in the market), they chose Lenovo to make their phone.

Please someone tell me why this deserves to be more expensive than pretty much every single flagship phone on sale right now.

👍

its look like rog 5

last minute design

This phone is bullshit. Fingerprint on the back??? REALLY? I still prefer mine s21 ultra! Is a lot of better phone.

ayyyyyo 1500$ only 🤧🚮

why do they give reviewers half baked devices?? what's with 'updates will make it better'??? companies should stop that 🤦🏿‍♂️

Summary: It's an overpriced piece of trash.

that hair dough hahaha

$1500?!? GTFOH

I had noticed no mention of display (real size review) is it 7.0, 6.9, 6.8, 6.4, it's a big phone doesn't cut it nor explain by resolution.

Need something close to 7.0 screens with a snapdragon 865 or better and able to connect to two or maybe three Bluetooth devices simultaneously. 😬

ROG 5 in disguise 👀👀 Sneaky move

Voice over makes me to not to leave from here.🥴

The 888 has been out for almost a year now surley this should have come out with its release if they wanted to show off this chip?

Also the camera bump looks lost to me it would have looked better either rotated 90° or centred in the middle of the phone.

Glad this phone doesnt have punch hole/notch😌

it's look like rog phone.

6:55 translate to: that's far too many promises that may or may not be delivered

Is it me or this phone is same as rog 5?

$1500 for an "enthusiast" "insider" device where you are not allowed to unlock the bootloader? Enthusiasts are going to want an unlocked bootloader to play around with the thing... This is DOA.

ya I dont understand this phone/package. besides the snapdragon sound feature, which would be cool to see in other phones, i dont see anything that this phone does better than other flagships with this SOC. plus a dated design like this is truly a missed opportunity.

so its ROG phone with changed back

If you buy this device you are kind of a moron at the price they're selling this for. The ROG phone itself is already this phone or better except for the camera perhaps.

If there isn't grunting at my gym, then I'm not there!

1500$ for a stupid camera

If I showed that out in public, people would straight away think it’s a cheap fake Samsung — they be like “what is that thing” 😂🌚

big and heavy, waste of money, 6 inch phone is comfrtable

Hey Cherlynn you were great I mean that was a fantastic and in depth review loved every bit .Vital information you shared will help most of us be decisive when it comes to purchasing the device .I heard that AMD is bringing ray tracing to Samsung devices that will be huge . Anyway love you guys at Engadget you do great job in reviewing these tech goodies .Cheers ya'll !

Honestly get some pleasant looking host/reviewer. No offense meant

Using oneplus 7t, sd 855+ still going strong

DONT BUY ASUS PHONE!!!! They're dicks!!!!!! They never provide android updates!!!!!

This phone looks basic as high hell. Gosh, even the ZenFone 8 had more personality.

How could the phone for SNAPDRAGON INSIDERS not have Qualcomms own under display fingerprint scanner LMAO

Currently using my pixel 4a with a snapdragon 730g. It's a mid range chip but honestly I never feel like I'm using a mid range chip. It's always feeling fast and snappy so I've come to realize mid range chips can do everything I want and need to do even with some gaming. So the top end best chips are cool but I know I don't need them

I love everything about this phone, except the lack of a headphone jack as I don't take a lot of photos. My problem with it is price. I see a place for this device, but we shouldn't be comparing it to others like those other companies have issues with their phones also.

they should have added 5 cameras

Great honest review

MY TYPE OF PHONE 👌❤️ I WILL BUY THIS PHONE ✨✨⭐

Sorry Asus your quality is very low. I'm not gonna buy again.
I bought one laptop dead now. Bught a mobile same year dead now.

Also SSI??? You means SDI??!

Hahaha what the hell is up with your hair!! 😂😂😂 omg no shame!

Great review! I wonder how it’ll be to play some Retro games on it…..

Generic phone

It'd go a long way if gadgets are cleaned before being filmed

Cant believes people pay 1k for a phone today

If this $1500 phone is supposed to make me excited for Snapdragon’s future, then ooof…

fugly phone and fugly design..i dunno what the effed is wrong with asus design? it just simply looks lame..

Wish this had a headphone jack, it'd be a truly perfect package.

hair messed up

Thank you for another great review!

not to be rude but why do you look like you just got out of bed? The top of your head is just a giant knot

This Phone looks Mesmerizing. Sometimes, I can buy it for most demanding activity that need good performance

Its not for sale to consumers right? Its for marketing to people who would buy their chipset?

i kinda miss the budget Asus phone

If this phone can be use desktop mode and Samsung music app, that would be awesome..

it's like zenfone 8 flip + Asus rog phone

PD-nim is ripped 😅

Cherlynn ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I only game on my phone ;D

Wow beautiful

I never seen a Asus phone in my life.. they look terrible like some kid design their products.. 💯🤦🏻‍♂️😅

Are we turning back to 2010
Multiple companies with multi ideology(like different os and spec in those days, now chips with different performance)

That back light is DOPE

Now we know
Software matter

Second

1st

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

kislux I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter

I'm ready for this phone. When will it be available?

YESSSSSSS

will there be a global version available?

samsung jealous ?

With all these amazing foldable phones, the annual announcement of iPhones sounds like a dud 🙄

Wann kommt es in Deutschland auf den Markt?

Just sad it's for one gender see loads about that soon no doubt 😂😂

fashion x

When will it come to Malaysia??

gorgeous

90Hz? USB 2.0? Snap778 5G? ~770EUR
I'd say this is a beautiful jewelry that can do mid range smartphone tasks

my dad made it

LMAO

useless phone

Bring it to Malaysia.❤

Good but specifically for girls

It hurts my eyes just looking at it really is that the best innovation you can do😢

Good

“purse” that cannot store anything..
but interesting idea

Phenomenal design. I would like to have one of these with a Stylus pen and a small HDMI Dock Station coming in the box. That would be the revolution.

so what's so conceptual at this when mate xs2 is a thing already for like a year..

Konsep huawei mate x kan ini

I thought it would be something silly and impractical but it's actually fancy and smart looking enough it might catch on. Good luck with this concept.

That is really neat, this tech might lead to windowless cars and houses giving us augmented reality and with a outside view

Huawei Mate Xs but a….purse

I like this idea but... It's not actually a purse?

You're carrying your phone... Like a purse.

Then you're carrying your actual purse which means you're hanging onto 2 things?

What's new is this? Your parent company did it 4 years ago.

Good afternoon, does this model support pencil, It's like the Z Fold 5. ? Thank you for the reply .

Great concept, I think no front facing camera is needed, as you can rotate or open to take selfies. Bendable screen protection or this might crack easy

Vertu Fold3?

Ojalá y este producto se vendan para todas las tiendas departamentales como coppel electra banco azteca y en el súper mercado de Chedraui en todo México 🇲🇽 latino América 🌎

Me gustaría uno así para taller de computación bien hecho honor eres el mejor super Android que hay en el mundo mundial he internacional 🌎 🇲🇽 aplausos 👍👏👏👏👏🦾💪

Que padre está de lujo ❤❤🥰😍🤩 saludos desde Córdoba Veracruz México 🇲🇽🎉

不錯 喔屌打哀鳳設計

Then you put on a case to protect the screen 😂😂😂

Huawei mate x2s with google play ❤❤❤

Huawei matexs thx

It looks gorgeous 💗💗💗💗💗

this shit is crazy

The ultimate spy phone. You hangit like a purse move around with it. And they can take video and photos based on your location data. Very cool.

Wow Honor Magic V Purse 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 peranti ni sama seperti Huawei Mate Xs 2
