Well...darn. Aside from the "gamer" styling and their unusually short years-of-support policy, I was actually kind of interested in their ROG phones, as they have both a substantial amount of memory and large batteries, and had them on the "possibles" list for my next phone. I don't care much about the gaming aspect, but there weren't a lot of other options with the above characteristics.

I don't understand how "gamer style" is a thing. If you're old enough to remember Winamp skins from the early 2000s, that's what it is plus a slew of RGB.
