Just going to say it - loss of headphone jack sucks

I'm just going to say it even though there is nothing I can do about it. The loss of the headphone jack is a tremendous disappointment to me. This phone was tailor made for it. It has a big screen and a huge battery which makes it a prefect media consumption device. I don't game at all and I love this phone. Even MKBHD gave it a very favorable rating last year for this reason alone. I would often sit at my desk with my comfortable headphones on watching YouTube and Netflix on slow days on the ROG2. No worrying about charging bluetooth earbuds and nothing jammed in my ear canal which invariably hurts after a while. And if you are actually a gamer I can't but imagine that a wired headphone and mic would be very much a preferred option. Really believe this was a big mistake. I can't see any reason to have done this with a phone that has plenty of room to keep the jack.

Red magic 5g seem to have fit everything just fine (except side ctype ports)

Trust me red magic is soooo much worse than anything I've heard about asus. Look at the Facebook page reviews. It might be easy to dismiss one or two horrid experiences but dozens after dozens. I had probably the worst experience a person could have. I've yet to see anything come close to it. It's the reason I went with the rog 2 over the red magic 5G. NO REGRETS whatsoever

Rog 2 has audio delay while recording which no phones have. We proved that its not hardware limitation and can be fixed by using 3rd party software which records audio with zero delay. After we proved that no mods and devs replied because they knew they were wrong all along. They dont want to fix that thats all. But its a nightmare for all rog users to have this kind of delay in main recorder. Disappointment from asus. Other than that i dont think there is much to complain about red magic. Its nubia, a chinese company. We all know what to expect and if you really want something productive then go for 🍎 apple

We're investigating that 3rd party screen recorder before we want to say anything. It previously didn't work with internal audio. It was news to us that it now works but there is still a difference. Our recorder also records the microphone. I don't know if we ever said that it's a hardware limitation. If we did, then I'm sorry. From what I have understood, it's more of a system limitation. With that said, there might be a way around it but it's not a bug and the solution is not as straight forward as you might think.
