Feel like the release for the Rog5 was too early.

No offense ASUS but I think you simply messed up here big time. The Rog5 has no real upgrade over the Rog3 and you're already having an inferior gaming phone to the competition. The red magic 6 has 165hz and a 500hz touch sampling rate with all the important features like their own version of armor crate and such.
Where is the innovation? I was excited to see the Rog5 but all I got to see was a ton of gimmicks that are cool for the first 30min and then you simply forget they exist.
I honestly think it was simply too early for the Rog5. It's now in a really awkward position where it's not even the worlds fastest phone on release.
No to mention I saw some black crush on some reviews, while you promised on your promotion that you made sure it wouldn't have black crush. This concerns me as a Rog3 user as well.
Overall quite dissapointed about the Rog5.

I confirmed with taiwan asus headquarter store, the clerk said rog 3 is not samsung screen. It make sense or else asus would advertise on their website .

I even visualize the rog 5, compared to rog 3. The black is darker, and bright pop more in hdr. Also the rog 5 screen can reach darker brightness, which helps when view in dark room. Couldn't see any tint at the darkest brightness, but the room itself wasn't totally dark so can't tell.

I can't tell if there is no black crush completely, but the dark is no so pixelated anymore and I can see more dynamic range of black. It is definitely a step up in terms of screen quality. At least for me it is quite good compare to other flagship oled phone. I would buy it if I didn't buy rog 3 last year already...sad

Left is rog 3, it is grayish in dark area, where rog 5 has true black.

Not sure why, but in person the screen wasn't so blue.

You should have told them to turn off the overlay. It would be the same result.
As for the screen being blacker it's simply because ASUS has hardcapped the screen of the Rog3 to a higher minimum brightness, also ASUS has set the red tone much higher than blue and green, hence on low brightness you see a red tint, the screen itself doesn't do that but ASUS's clibration does that. The reason for this was to have the screen more warm so it is better for the eyes.
