4 not a good number in east asia (stands for "death") - thus better skip it :)

Taiwan (Asus) wants be a seperate country and not to be considered part of China BUT they believe in the same superstition (4 is bad luck in China), they manufacture in China, etc.
So, they really are Taiwan, China.

Shady69, 19 Jan 2021never knew that 5 comes after 3So you are new to technology then?
I will share some more details so you won't get surprised in future.
After 8 comes 10, then comes 20.

4 is considered unlucky in China, apparently.
Edit: Replied to someone wondering why they skipped 4 and went straight to the ROG phone 5...

Shady69, 19 Jan 2021never knew that 5 comes after 3In many East Asian cultures, including China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, the number 4 is considered unlucky. If you step onto an elevator, you probably won't see a button indicating the fourth floor because most apartment buildings and hospitals skip the number altogether.

Another thing, if you are going to pay more than 900 dollars for a state-of-the-art phone, why not put everything that one of that category brings? that of the refrigeration is not more than an excuse to now get the certification, but if they charge you as if they will take it hahaha

I also don't understand the need to game on a phone, but that's just me.
