Before you think of upgrading to Rog5

Honestly there are so many weird topics here surrounding the Rog5 being superior and people acting like it's some next evolution.
Guys let me clear some things up for you:
The screen is the same.
the speaker are basicially the same,.
the batterilife is worse on the Rog5 due to higher TDP from the SoC.
The LED on the back, while on paper nice, is something you won't even look at.
No storage upgrade, still capped at 512GB.
Phone will throttle if used over time without aero cooler.
Camera the same.
Audio quality hasn't been improved noticably at all on headphones, for some reason people first now got the memo that the Rog Phones in general have a high quality built in dac.

Overall if you already have a Rog3, there is literally no compelling reason for you to purchase the Rog5, if you have an older Rog phone 1 then you can easily consider it, but upgrading from Rog3 is just silly, even Rog2 I'd still call it a stretch to call it an "upgrade". So please don't be swayed by random reviewers acting like it's some next evolutionary thing.

And while you can't judge a screen through a camera, the mi10 does look way more brighter and whitewashed than the rog 5 does

As per my opinion , MI is looking way better than rog 5

If you're looking for boosted colors then yes
But the main thing is still we don't know what brightness and color profiles both phones are at
Seems like rog is at default profile probably

Natural seems to be a good fit for boosted colors

Yup that's what I'm saying MI's display looks more smoothened and has boosted colors the details are gone in some cases due to that
But the again we don't know the brightness and color profiles set on both phones
Nor the content quality or bit rate

Yeah both have 1080p displays
And about the second part I don't think one actually needs a QHD/2k panel on an 6.6 inch display to be honest
Many probably won't be even to point out the differences between both and an 1440p panel would mean more battery consumption and more hogging of resources in games and stuff
