Anonymous, 17 Jan 2019A gaming smartphone but dont have 3.5mm jac, WHY???It's the Bluetooth craze. Google has it now. To me, the lack of a 3.5mm jack was the deciding factor to NOT purchase a Pixel 3.

I've owned this phone since December, and while I love it to bits, there are some issues worth noting.
Primarily, if you go commando, foregoing a protective case, the black finish on the edges wears away, revealing the silver aluminum underneath. This ruins the aesthetic a little bit, but it's not horribly game breaking. It's just that it started wearing away rather quickly soon after purchase, soiling its "newness" factor just a bit. For an $800 investment, this is unacceptable, but I can deal with it.
The display, when showing it brightest is really nice, but from time to time, I notice that the brightness automatically dims at seemingly random times. This is with the automatic brightness setting turned off.
The built-in alarm clock has this nifty feature that requires you to slide a little clock icon from the left side of the screen to the right. This doesn't always work, however as it will often require me to fumble around with the phone, with the alarm still ringing, feebly trying to dismiss it by sliding, tapping, and depressing the icons.
Other than these things, I really love this phone, probably one of the best phones I've had since the HTC Incredible.

DAC only works for headphone jack, not with wireless.
The audio quality chart does include phones with headphones plugged in. And even more, it includes phones with 3.5mm jack.

If they fix the battery life in the next version it looks like what the next Sony should have been except for the silly light on the back.

Such poor endurance rating for a 'gaming' phone , 120hz refresh rate is not ready to be rolled out yet

Razer made a lot of subtle improvements to the Razer phone 2 and while it may not be a major upgrade from the Razer phone it is the better choice.

One of the first things to look for when I buy a phone is audio quality. So, when you review a flagship-grade phone, I think that it would be very helpful to include LG's flagship phones on the charts, which are really good at that aspect.

I believe gsmarena was too critical about camera qualities. I see it well above average and close to flagship quality. maybe they don't want to promote this phone for some reason.

The problem with touch screen phone, lack of tactile feedback make it unsuited to a lot of genres, with Razer phone 2, the external controller at USD 135 is just a rip off, people may buy ps4 dual shock controller for usd 60 as you can use on various equipment, pc, ps 4, xperia phones even raspberry pi, but very few people spend so much money on a mobile phone controller only

I wanted to read this but then stopped at first page. Razer killed my passion to RP2 by killing project Linda. This was the only way they could win anything on the market. They could be first and sloppy phone design could be explained by option to put the phone to lapdock.
This year will be the year of shame. Apple(XR, XS), Google(Pixel3), Razer(RP2) and last but not least Blizzard with Diablo Immortal.
