Planning to buy the rog phone 2 strix edition

So I was planning to buy the rog phone 2 strix edition here in the Philippines but I have read so much issues about the rog phone 2 in general. May I please ask for your opinions if it's a good buy or will I just be wasting money for a faulty device?
Thanks ahead

I told you a suggestion, lower your settings while you stream and see what happens. This is called investigation. 😅

If I haven't experienced this, that means it doesn't happen to everyone right?

Let's be honest, I can suggest what I can here to help (even if it's not the right answer) - it's not even your call. You can simply ignore it.

As i said i have lowest possible settings everywhere. Dont investigate again . If you want to face the sound delay issue just open youtube and search for sound delay test videos or play pubg.

Lol you're too much. I love these conversations. So, you're saying other people are getting the issue too (as you say, issue on YouTube). So it's not an ASUS issue. By the way, your phone doesn't look very low settings to me. Like I have said, I have already seen some of your videos on this forum uploads.

Maybe the solution will be found once 5G network will be implemented. In theory that should have low or no latency.

The temperature of the phone plugged into dock doesn't surprise me much. Your setup requires processing power for both streaming and playing (even at low settings) and that generates heat. During intensive tasks my Macbook Pro easily reaches 88C. It's impossible to hold on the lap if you don't want your strategic parts to be boiled. For Rog 2, I know you find the cooler useless, but I cannot imagine not using it. In long sessions on max settings, blowing at max it reduces the temperature from 45-47 to 40-42C. So up to 5C.

The suggestion to try other software and see if it creates delay or not sounds a good proposal to me. Than you will have data to compare.

Maybe for 5G, but to be honest, it looks abit unreliable. I deliberately chose ROG 2 over a phone that has 5G. Not because of 4G or 5G, it's just that I know I won't be using 5G for a while.
The remaining points is exactly what I was trying to explain. Guess I scored low marks. I guess I could of said the phone is not powerful for what he is doing. But even then, he won't be happy.

Sorry if I have upsetted you. It was not intended and I was trying to help with suggestions. While I understand you want expert advice and who knows how to properly fix the issue, I suggest you go to a service centre so it prevents you the hassle on here. It's what forums are for unfortunately. If you're not prepared to follow advice from anyone, your best bet is the service centre.

They already formatted my phone in past and now their only advice is to wait for system update for a fix.
