    Also 3 USB C ports, a headphone jack, an insane amount of storage, and no notch. If this thing has an unlockable bootloader it'll be an android enthusiast's wet dream.

    I'm going to be honest.. while I get its cool why would you ever spend so much on a phone to game on when you could just buy a desktop or laptop? Mobile games just never appealed to me I guess.

        Exactly. Anyone who really wants to game likely has a device that can play the full games anyway. And those that have mobile ports are sometimes buggy or not as nice feeling to play than with a real computer. Mobile only games don't require this powerful of a device. So the product positioning here just isn't the greatest imo.

    Seems pretty over the top to me but if Steam Link could one day stream 90fps, it might be interesting to try.

    Looks like a cool concept. Doubt it'll take off though. I bet phones will soon start replacing low end laptops and just dock or connect to more peripherals and this seems to be a good step in that...
