ASUS ROG Gaming phone 3 Vs Nintendo Switch

Asus ROG Phone 3 512GB 12GB RAM 5G ZS661KS / I003DD SD865+ Global Version - Black Glare

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The Asus ROG Gaming phone 3 is out now and it seems really popular. But, this got me thinking about the difference between a gaming phone and my Nintendo Switch lite. I have actually kinda done an Asphalt 9 Legends gameplay comparison video before but it's between my Samsung Note 10+ and my original Nintendo Switch.

The Samsung Note 10+ is not marketed as a gaming phone but it can play basically any mobile games out there. It got the latest CPU and GPU to play any console-like games that are available. Although, it does get hot especially when playing a graphic-intensive game like Grid Autosport. One time, the phone killed the game because it was getting too hot.

I was actually doing some testing playing the game using Microsoft Your Phone App on my PC monitor. I didn't look out for the heat so, maybe I had pushed it too much. After that happened, I went on looking for an external mobile radiator fan or a cooling fan. I never thought I'll need one as I don't really game that long.

As a gaming phone, Asus ROG claims to have a cooling system internal and external that will help cool your phone down when gaming. I don't have their phone, so, I'm not sure how good they are but they also have one of the best gaming laptops with new liquid metal cooling. So, that could boost your confidence about their products.

The Nintendo Switch is a portable gaming console. It's not a phone. You can't make calls, take pictures or videos, and share them online. Yes, you can take short game clips and pictures. But, only internally. It does come with a controller and playing games to me is much better on the Nintendo Switch and now my Nintendo Switch lite.

The one thing I hate most about mobile gaming is the games and the lack of game controller support. Yes, there are console-level graphics games for the mobile but they're mostly touch-control games. They're also not a full triple-A type of game. Meanwhile, a lot of triple-A games are already available like the latest Persona 5 Strikers, NBA 2K21, and others.

Another thing I hate about mobile games is that you need internet access to play the game. Why? Because they need the advertising money. Yes, it's free-to-play but if you can't play with Wifi or data connection, you're screwed. I end up playing old retro games on my Nintendo DS lite. I didn't have a Nintendo Switch that time. 

Talking about the controller, it actually cost almost a gaming laptop which is around $2k just to get all the complete accessories. Yes, pretty expensive. It's also actually kinda a hassle to put on a retractable controller every time you want to play a game. Unlike my Nintendo Switch lite, every time I have the itch to play Asphalt 9 Legends, I just pick it up choose the game, and play.

They do have some cool accessories like the TwinView dock 3. It definitely looks like my 3DS XL. I like the idea of a dual-screen phone that would make multi-tasking easier. The ability to game on the top screen while video-calling your friend on the bottom screen. Browsing the internet while watching youtube on either screen.

As I've said before the mobile phone today is like a computer, so you'll be using it as a computer. For work and for play. While the Nintendo Switch is a dedicated portable gaming console. I've seen people playing games on one mobile while talking to someone on another mobile. In the end, why not get a portable gaming console like the Nintendo Switch for gaming while your phone for what it's meant for. A phone.

A Nintendo Switch is only almost cost a quarter of a gaming phone. An expensive gaming phone that doesn't have triple-A games. Unless you're the type like to play games that my mother plays like those puzzle 3 gems game. I'm not even sure if you can use the controller to play popular mobile games like Call of Duty or PUBG mobile.

Add to that insult is the need for an 'app' to remap your buttons. Which, you actually have to buy to be able to use the full features. I'm not going to pay to use a freaking controller to play a freaking mobile game. Games should have outright come with controller support. In the past, I used to look for games that look like it has controller support but end up doesn't. I deleted all of them. A waste of my time.

I finally give up and get myself a Nintendo Switch lite (sold my original to my nephew). I can play triple-A games and even mobile games too. Now, there are already a few free-to-play games available which I actually enjoyed playing on my mobile like Asphalt 9 Legends. I don't mind them as long as you can play with a controller.

I still like the gaming phone technology though. Maybe, one day, I can dock a gaming phone and play a real triple-A game with a mouse and keyboard instead of just a 3 gems game. If they still keep treating the phone as just for casual gaming or a phone then no point in making a gaming phone. I bought a Razer gaming phone once, and now they don't even sell it anymore. Maybe, there's a reason why?

Frankly, the mobile gaming phone tech might actually be better than my Nintendo Switch lite. But, playing real games on a portable gaming console like the Switch is definitely much more enjoyable and stress-free. Even my nephew is a believer and he was actually the one that pushes me to buy a Nintendo Switch. It's all because he can play FIFA18 on the go back when it was first available to the switch.

ASUS ROG TwinView Dock 3

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I blog about the new Asus ROG Gaming Phone 3. Looks like not a bad phone with specs better than my Samsung Note 10+. I especially like the Air Triggers feature. If you like playing Call of Duty or PUBG mobile, it works with the game.

For me, the problem with mobile gaming is that the games with controller support are limited. I also don't care about the streaming capabilities because you need a subscription and internet access. Heck, most of the mobile games need internet access just to play like the Free-to-play game.

Do you know how frustrated it is to want to play a game only to find out you can't because you don't have access to Wifi or data internet? I deleted those kinds of stupid games. It's not even a full game. I prefer playing on my Nintendo Switch lite. Which already comes with a controller.

Now, there are already a lot of indie and even popular triple-A games coming to the Nintendo Switch. Most mobile games are also ported to the Switch. Which includes Free-to-play games too. Well, at least, if I can't play the F2P, I can always play my full downloaded games.

Anyway, today, I want to talk about the Asus ROG TwinView Dock 3. Recently, Samsung came out with the Samsung Z Fold 2 phone. I like the idea of the 2-in-1 phablet. Using it as a phone and also opening it up to use as a tablet. You can also open it half-way and use it as a twin-screen phone.

 Asus now has the ROG Zephyrus Duo SE 15 gaming laptop. It's an updated version of last year's edition. But, what's more, interesting is the second screen below the main laptop monitor. See what I'm getting at? I think our mobile phones today are powerful enough to use two screens at the same time.

I've already talked about the mobile phone lapdock. Where you can connect your phone to a laptop shell that becomes a laptop. Asus can do that too. If they build the TwinView Dock a laptop size, change the UI like the Samsung Dex, voila!

Don't get me wrong, the TwinView dock as it is, already great. You can use the screen separately and use the different apps at the same time. You can even play two games at one go. Although, not all games are optimized for the two screens. Kinda remind you of the Nintendo 3DS?

Having 2 screens means, you can multi-task. You can watch youtube videos on the top screen while chatting on the bottom screen. The main game can be at the top while the control or map below. You can use the bottom screen as a keyboard to reply to the email viewed at the top.

That's why I prefer the Asus TwinView Dock to have a bigger screen. Maybe, a 7 inch. Just like a Nintendo Switch. Yes, it's good for gaming, but you can also use the extra screen for work. Maybe, dragging pictures or videos viewed on the phone main screen to the top screen that has the video editor app opened.

I keep repeating this. The mobile phone today is not just a phone anymore. It's a powerful small computer. We practically used it almost every day. For work, play, and social media. If we have accessories like a bigger TwinView Dock or the lap dock. We won't need to bring along a laptop or even use a desktop anymore. Especially, if you travel a lot for work or even play.

I like the idea of the TwinView dock and hopefully, other phone companies will come out with something like it too. Especially, Samsung. Since I already am using a Samsung phone. Having bought the Razer Phone, I'm not sure if I want another 'gaming' phone when the games suck. Especially, those without the game controller support.
