Unless this is basically the China exclusive 11 Pro that doesn't have a global release (the global one is the Pro+ with a lower advertised charging speed) I really don't see the point of this existing. There's no point releasing a new model solely for the slightly overclocked SoC when it's already thermal throttling as is because it pulls well over 20W, they'd be better off releasing less models and better supporting the ones they have.
I wish more phones have camera that positioned flush with the back panel like this. No bump, no island, no unnecessary protrusion. I'd prefer thicker phone with flush back even if it mean added weight/price. And for those who needs extra tele zooming, we can always add portable lens that snap on the back (kind of inspired by what sony did long ago but make it better with today's tech)

Though the only chages would be the leading version of the flagship chip with overclocked CPU/GPU.
Its a midcycle refresh though since they're an esports/gaming phone brand company.

Best design award goes to RedMagic
They need to stop cycling like 4 phones every year and just give us 1 flagship and 1 midrange phone. No more needed.

If you want to release meaningful variants, at least, differentiate them based on chipsets from both snapdragon and Mediatek, both topend and midrange chips. This would give users enough options.
More rehashed models!! Because they know Asus won't be releasing any more phones for the time being! Instead of focusing on better support, because this company's support is absolutely awful!! No, we're going to release rehashed models only to leave them stranded later, hahaha
Cmon why aren't there any gaming handhelds from bigger brands other than Retroid and Ayaneo. They don't sell to many countries.
