CONS

  1. Extremely High Price: The phone is one of the most expensive gaming handsets on the market.
  2. Limited Software Updates: Only offers two major Android OS updates, which is poor for a premium device.
  3. No mmWave 5G: Lacks support for high-speed millimeter-wave 5G networks.
  4. Limited US Carrier Support: Does not officially work on the Verizon network.
  5. Average Telephoto Camera: Zoom capabilities are not on par with premium competitors like the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
  6. Selfie Camera Limitation: Front-facing video recording is limited to 1080p, lacking 4K.
  7. Bulky Accessory Dependence: Achieving maximum performance often requires the heavy, add-on AeroActive Cooler X Pro.
  8. No Expandable Storage: Lacks a microSD card slot, limiting future storage expansion.
  9. Sub-par Haptics: The vibration motor is improved but still behind some mainstream flagship rivals.
  10. Questionable Durability: The rear Anime Vision display and glass back are prone to damage if dropped, despite IP68.
