The AMOLED screen supports it, but ASUS didn’t include AOD in the stock firmware. Minor but annoying.

Even with 12GB RAM, the firmware sometimes kills background apps too quickly. Switching between a game and Chrome often reloads the page. You can tweak this in Developer Options, but it should be better out of the box.

Yes, for gamers. No for photographers or casual users.

ASUS has been good with bi-monthly updates (still getting patches as of late 2025). Not Pixel-level fast, but reliable.

With Snapdragon 865+ and 144Hz display, the raw firmware pushes every frame possible. PUBG, Genshin Impact, COD—all run at max settings without stutter. The thermal tuning is aggressive but keeps throttling minimal.

Ultrasonic AirTriggers, AeroActive Cooler, and the TwinView Dock all work perfectly on stock firmware. No driver issues.
