Please no 3.5mm jack with mediocre cooling system , so I can laugh the user with my blackshark5 as I laugh rog3 with my blackshark3 hahahaha. I also laugh at rog2 with my bs2pro (34ms touch latency vs rog2 49ms)
Thats the "price" you have to pay buying "brand"

I fell very blessed because some game devs know this and port some games to mobile, like Terraria and Grid Autosport.
Ok I know spend ~$1000 to play in a small screen is dumb compared to buy a PC/Console for half of the price, but this class of cellphones is what makes me have some good quality games to play (instead the pay to win mobile game filth that always existed in Google play.

jamalu96, 19 Jan 2021it's january and asus itself teased the new ROG. The SD 888 was just announced one month ... moreFun rumor though: they are already reportedly working on an 888+ that's slated to be released over the summer. I think it's stupid but you know...
Even if the ROG 5 were to be announced in March, it could be released in June for all we know since they may fight to get mmWave in there (with South Korea and China supposedly going live with it this year).

Shady69, 19 Jan 2021never knew that 5 comes after 34 is considered badluck in some eastern culture, so i think it better to skip 4, its just a name anyway

MagicMonkeyBoy, 19 Jan 2021I wonder if it will actually have the 888+??it's january and asus itself teased the new ROG. The SD 888 was just announced one month ago. Maybe the new ROG phone use an overclocked SD 888 just like the first ROG phone with the overclocked SD 845. This time Asus will be more concentrated on fast charging, better screens and UI.

For those wondering about the possible skip of model name from ROG Phone 3 to 5, some already explained about 4 being an undesirable number because it sounds similar to 'death' in some Chinese dialects like Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien.
And it is not unusual. BBK brands (Oneplus, Oppo, Realme) all skipped the number 4 in their phone model names.
