According to our tipster, who also happens to run his own website, the HTC HD3 will come with a massive
4.5-inch AMOLED screen with 1280 × 800 resolution, 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1080p HD
video playback, 720p HD video recording, 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G
connectivity, 4G connectivity for blisteringly fast downloads that are over ten times as fast as today’s
HSDPA phones, 1GB onboard RAM, 32GB external memory, 3.5-inch headphone jack, and HDMI output
for connecting to your HDTV or monitor.

i agree ¬¬'
Definitely. Would be good though
With anything larger than 4.3" screen, the device would really begin to become uncomfortable to use. Even as much as I like the screen on the HD2, sometimes it feels gigantic for 1 hand functions. Those specs sound more like a tablet than a phone.
Where can I preorder ?
Hey man! That sounds so plausible, but it's not actually true. I got the HD3 specs from my mate, Mr. Taiwanese who works for HTC and he's got a HD3.

So false it's funny
The "original" news source reports a leaflet with the size of the device. 65mm*115mm*10mm. I can easily suppose there's potential to make it even thinner, but there's no way it can be smaller with a bigger screen.
Loving the "more big" scribbles on the picture ... lol
1280 × 800 resolution is not supported in 7 Series, from what I have heard.
And I don't think they will launch the HD3 with WM 6.5.3. ROFL
Either the Resolution is wrong/fake, or this whole rumor = BS.
EDIT: Is 1280 × 800 resolution supported in 6.5.3 btw? Wait... Argh, I am wasting my time...

Yep, would be going down the iPad direction, to big for its use. The HD2 size is as big as I would want a mobile phone to be.
On the 'tipster' link which goes to the "source of the information" (http://mobilementalism.com/2010/03/15/leaked-pics-and-specs-of-htc-hd3-one-word-stunning/) there are a few pictures and one is a low quality list of specifications...
On this picture (http://mobilementalism.com/imageSnag/3768-4b9e890364290.jpg) note the words:
Front camera: video call
Show me the front camera on any of the included pictures...
Blatent crock of <censored>!
(sighes, shakes head and sighes again)
I like how it says As you can see from the pics, it’s the real deal – it’s definitely not vapourware.
Cant believe no one has picked up on the fact that those specs say "32GB external memory".
Windows Phone 7 series has no removable storage support.

and about 30 minutes of battery life...
Let´s face it: if HTC builds the HD3 we don´t need that crappy WM7 which is of no good for nuthin`, just for stups that are barely able to handle an iPhone.
HD3 should run a stripped version of WinXP, cause with the roumored specs it plays the same league as Sony VAIO P, only better
the specs are slightly fake as it does say 32GB external memory which isn't allowed...for WM7 phones
Actually, apart from the screen, those specs seem quite similar to those of the HTC EVO.
It should have 32gb built in mem like the iPhone
why HTC doesnt do that ?
so if we actually do get an EVO 2 this summer, what more can we get on this phone to make it either a industry changer or a big hit.
i say
- remove the touch buttons we already have and expand the screen vertically while not having to enlarge the actual phone.. that way we are ready for honeycomb (or what ever the phone version OS is gonna be called)
- move the audio jack to the bottom of the phone
- way better battery life (even if it means thickening
the phone for a bigger battery)
- better hd video recording
- more internal memory and ram
- better display
- gorilla glass
last but not least
- quad processor ( might be exagerating dual should
be fine)
and maybe a few more things i can't think of right now
what do u guys want on this phone
s
ps: im broke but wouldn't mind paying $300 on a new contract for these upgrades.
ent from my EvoKnevil
Same form as the EVO, maybe closer to the Thunderbolt.
dual core
better GPU (MUCH BETTER)
at least a gig of RAM
a few gigs of ROM
4.3" Super LCD (please god don't let it have an amoled!)
higher res
That's it, I'm easy to please.
I'd love to have a SLCD, Gorilla Glass and either the headphone jack on the bottom or USB port on the top (just as long as they're together, I thought that was a great idea on the Galaxy S) but I don't agree with getting rid of the buttons. Even when they merge the tablet and phone branches of Android, I doubt the phone version will have the same virtual buttons. I could be wrong but I just don't see it happening.
We should hear something from HTC either at MWC next week (Feb 14-17) or CTIA next month (Mar 22-24). The EVO was officially announced during CTIA last year so that could be when Sprint announces its successor.
move the Micro sd card location
1. the new snapdragons
2. dual core
3. honeycomb AOSP
4. 5 inch SLCD/SAMOLED
5. full hdmi out
6. the laptop type dock (like the atrix)
7. 32gb inbuilt memory as well as sd card support
8. NFC
Sort of like dell streak, evo, and atrix combined into one big package, oh and with honeycomb :x

+1 for sure.
Even just one of these
-better battery life
-dual core
-put the usb port on the side of the phone maybe about 1/4 from the top or in the middle so that when you hold it horizontally the cable isn't between your fingers. Grrr, I hate that
-Dual-core processor for sure, maybe 1GHz but with the same performance as the Shift's.
-Honestly, the form factor of the Evo is quite well done, wouldn't change much, unless it's a bit thicker for a better battery.
-A better way to access the microSD.
-More internal ROM/RAM.
-NFC for sure, it's going to take over the world...
-(if there's room) a full-sized HDMI-out adapter.
-(and by extension) the GPU to support such a thing.
-Rooting without voiding warranties, plus RA Recovery manager built-in by default. [/sarcasm] (like that'll ever happen)
- Bigger battery (like twice capacity)
- GPU
- Amoled screen and gorilla glass
- same size screen or bigger ( I could never go smaller now)
- keep the kickstand
Sent from my device.
-NFC
-Noice Cancelling Mic
-Better Speaker
-Better Placement of camera
-Fix light leakage issues
-Higher Mega Pixel FFC
-Slide out Keyboard
-Unibody design

For those times when one is not enough.
What would I like?
1) 32 or 22 nm multicore low energy processor.
2) dual 4.5" screens - sliding a thin secondary screen.
from under the main. For those times when one is not enough.
3) ability to piggy back a battery pack. For those times when one is
not enough.
4) full bridge between wifi and service provider (Sprint). For those
times when one is not enough
OK imagine a pocket super "connector".
Lots of good ideas here.
Unfortunately I won't be getting an Evo 2 this summer (at a discounted price anyways) because Sprint downgraded my yearly upgrade perk.
That being the case, anyone want to guess what the Evo 3 (hopefully with a June 2012 release date) will be like?
Sent from my Evo using XDA App
moar gggggs!
how about a high quality build.
All these suggestions are great. In addition it would be great to have a kickstand that works for portrait and landscape imo.
Dual Core
3D screen
12 Mega pixel camera
3 mega pixel front camera
32 GB SD card
Projector capabilities
same size, but more pixels
dual core...
gpu, or something for better graphics
better hardware and software wich can make the battery last way longer
keep the 8m pixels in the rear camera, shake stability, etc
the evo has so much, why not add the ability to act as a desktop and just connect it to a screen, mouse and keyboard

I like the above, but also:
- better camera quality (not more megapixels, we have plenty); we need better image processing (software) and/or better sensor, cause what we have now sucks; it gives 8 megapixels a bad rep
- better GPU
- SLCD screen at higher resolution
- better battery management (i think 1500 is big enough, we can get it to work leaner)
- dual core processor
- ports (headphone/usb) on same side as others have said
- don't care about HDMI out, we'll be streaming wirelessly soon enough
I really think that all phones these days of superphone caliber should have noise cancelling mics, it's huge for talk quality.
my 0.02
The only things I care about are as follows.
1. Battery life (if this comes about by a low power consumption dual core, that's fine)
2. A better camera with a lens that isn't exposed.
By better camera, I don't mean more megapixels. Megapixels don't mean jack if the quality sucks. We have an 8mp camera that takes noisy, nasty pictures. I want a camera at least on par with the iPhone. I don't care if it's 3.2mp, make the quality better and THEN worry about MP.
Same form factor, or perhaps 4.5" max SLCD screen w/ gorilla glass
Tegra 2
HDMI out - mirror mode
Better battery life (I'd be happy with 50% better life)
Dual external speakers like Touch Pro 2
Dual mics for noise cancellation
Higher quality construction (metal body would be nice)
Stop the megapixel race with cam..... improve IQ by implementing better image sensor, overhaul image capture software. Make flash usuable in low light situations by increasing shutter speed and decreasing overexposed photos.
Better audio output via 3.5mm jack *lounder, cleaner*
Make internal FM radio antenna which can be used without headphones
NFC
More memory and support for SDXC.
Hello,
With this being talked about now, what will your realistic Project Ara phone have?
Mine is pretty simple:
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.3GHz
Adreno 330 450MHz
2 GB RAM
3.8 V 2300 mAh, 8 Wh, Qi wireless charging
Slide out QWERTY physical keyboard
4.96 in (126 mm) diagonal IPS LCD with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 (1080×1920 px (444 ppi))
8 MP with OIS, f/2.4 aperture and Xenon flash.
1.3 MP Front Camera
3.5 mm TRRS
GPS
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
Bluetooth 4.0
NFC
Infrared port
Every damn radio band so I can use GSM/3G/4G all over the world
Now that I look at it, this phone sounds pretty familiar.........
My price range would be $400 - $500
What about you?
Also, lets keep it realistic, real (no transformer from phone to PC or fantasy crap) and considering phone/budget of each person. Basically what Project Ara is really about and can offer.
Im editing the title again: Please keep it realistic Who knows what people are reading this thread. If we post things like 8K resolution screen phones for 200 bucks, we cannot keep this realist.c
I'd be willing to pay up to $600 for a device with 8GB of internal storage with an external storage option, a 21Mp camera with OIS and various low light optimizations, It needs to be at least dual core running at no less than 1.8 Ghz, it needs 2Gb of RAM, an adreno 330 GPU, a 4.7in screen with a resolution that's above 720p, wireless charging, ALL the radios!, wifi 80211ac, a front camera that has 720p recording and is at least 1.3mp, extremely tunable audio quality, and a slightly curved screen.

Just asking for a good DAC and a curved screen will shoot it up more than $600
I based off mine a existing phone and depending on that raised the price compared to it...
For me:
Top-line specs (cpu ram etc...)
But the extra stuff i would buy into it is a good DAC (digital analog converter). I like to hear quality music.
And a best of the bests camera with a big and fast sensor (maybe foveon x3), 3diagonal OIS, led+xenon AND full manual control in it's software. I want to control shutter speed, ISO, explosure, OIS on/off, timer, intervalometer, HDR, brust mode, pixel oversampling and RAW capturing.
I don't want to take photos like on DSLR, but these things are good to have in the creative process :--)

Thats why you do and that is not normal usage (internet, music and games)
The phone I do (PHONE) does WAY more than any phone I (or most people) can ask for.
Really i want there to be clean choices.
saying you want a snapdragon 800 in it or a 21 megapixel camera wont help you if that phone comes out in a year or so.
An option to get it pre-assembled.
A rating system for blocks, if you replace a block, ask you to rate/comment on it after a week or so.
More then one company making them.
Multiprocessor support. Get your Snapdragon and your Exynos. More power. Maybe limit that to just more then one copy of the same chip though, i do not see how it would work otherwise.
A separate block that contains the headphone jack, usb, ... so that it can be replaced without replacing the more expensive components.
A small internal battery, so that you can exchange the battery block without rebooting.
Different body shapes. Tablet--Phablet--Phone--Phone with keyboard
An E ink screen option.
Price, depends on components.
An E ink phablet-phone is something else then a DUAL-Tegra with 3 extra battery blocks, 4k screen and no radios except wifi.
- separate DAC/amp (i imagine these will be built into the SoC so hopefully OEMs can make modules that override this)
- 4000mAh battery
- landscape QWERTY
- probably a screen no bigger than 4.7" given that an overly large screen would make using the keyboard untenable
- camera module with a decent sensor size & xenon flash
- multiple SD/microSD card support
- projector
i don't imagine you could have all of these modules on the phone at once though
I'd love to have a phone with a 4.3" 720p AMOLED screen and a Pureview Camera with a hardware shutter key.
CPU would be an Intel Atom paired with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Also, dual-boot with Android and WP (or whatever OS I want to put on there)
Oh, and the price? $500, maybe? (modular, of course)
I should have added that please make the phone and price realistic; Some of you are saying technologies such as PureView cameras when that is a trademark by Nokia and Nokia would NEVER open source it (with reason and I agree with them)
Independent vendors such as nikon, canon, etc.. might produce modules and provide propietary bins.. nokia as motorola's competitor would probably not agreed. W/o seeing the mdk, I can only guess companies [and a few gifted individuals] would have the resources to develop, nano-cize and produce said modules.. or will motorola be taking a you design.. we produce line.. Future looks exciting either way.. I'd pay $600 for full phone [base + enough modules to make it standard] but in just [visually] glancing the [proposed] module spacing, we'd be lucky to get battery you suggested.. Doesn't seem room unless thickness added [or two module spaces used].. which is/are a bleh idea(s) imo.

They will start to distribute the 4/64 variant first, then (i guess after a while), also higher capacity ones.
Review (part 1)
Introduction
This is the DOOGEE MIX.
Hardware
Being one of the first Xiaomi Mi Mix clone released in 2017, this MIX tries to be as similar as possible (of course not equal), providing a 5.5" screen in a smaller body. Also as regards the RAM/ROM capacity, it tries to be as similar as possible, with a maximum of 6GB of RAM and 128GB of ROM. Unfortunately though it uses a Mediatek CPU, precisely the Helio P25, that isn't bad at all, but not as powerful as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820.
Unboxing
Packaging, with a really nice look, comes with some accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/2A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x Hard Plastic Case, 1x Phone Holder (Ring), 1x SIM Card Tray Remover and the Smartphone (of course). A plastic screen protector is already applied, and an extra protector is included.
As already introduced before, the design has been copied almost entirely from the Mi Mix, but with a Metal Chassis (instead of Ceramic), a smaller overall size (being smaller the screen) and less glossy colors. The device feels solid, and the Gorilla Glass panel placed on the back makes it looking really premium.
When it comes to the size, well...this is able to beat all 5.5" inches devices released in the last few years. It is only 14.44x7.67x0.80cm, unbelieably compact, but with a weight of 198g, unfortunately feels heavy due to the small size and high weight. I guess the amount of glass increased its weight.
On the front side there almost bezel-less AMOLED Display with an overall clean look (2.5D curved) and the upper front side of the device features an Earpiece (a real one), and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Somehow they choose to not include a Notifcation LED, in 2017 i think this is a must have feature.
As regards the lower front side, there is the Fingerprint Scanner in the center (doesn't work as a physical button, can't be pressed), and a Front-Facing Camera that due to space issues couldn't have been placed on the upper side. There is some wasted space though.
On the back side there is the Glass Back Cover i mentioned before.
The upper rear side of the device features the Dual Camera Sensor supported by a Single-LED - Single-Tone Flashlight, and nothing else. On the lower rear side, excluding the DOOGEE logo, there isn't anything at all because the Speaker is positioned on the lower side of the device.
Device
Screen
This is the most interesting part of the device, its almost bezel-less AMOLED screen looks gorgeous, even though i don't like AMOLEDs too much (due to unreal colors). Talking about color accuracy on a AMOLED is like talking about speed for a city car. Colors look really saturated and un-real, and the white balance is a bit messed up. Someone can like it, someone might not. This is really personal.
Unfortunately due to its 720p Resolution, pixels are noticeable on camera, and sometimes also while using it. I don't understand why DOOGEE choose to include a 720p screen instead of 1080p, the Helio P25 is fast enough to handle 1080p Apps/Games.
Its light sensor supports smooth light changes with a maximum brightness of ~500lux. Great Brightness for best usage under direct-sunlight.
Viewing Angles are awesome, as we all know, AMOLEDs are the best when it comes to this.
Camera
Luckily DOOGEE choose to include a pretty good camera sensor for this device, a Samsung ISOCELL 16MP sensor with fast focus-time and good overall quality. It also supports Camera API 2 for Manual Controls such as Manual Focus, RAW Recording and so on. This is the first Mediatek Device i review with Camera2 Compatibility.
I guess the software isn't 100% ready though because the amount of noise is slighlty too high even while shooting outdoors, and sometimes the Flashlight is out-of-sync.
Here you can see an HDR-on/off comparision, plus some random extra photos.
The Blur Effect using the "Blur" option seems to work. (aka Bokeh)
Macros are probably the most detailed ones.
Indoors shoots are decent, nothing to complain about.
The flashlight isn't super powerful, being a Single-LED only, but it is still able to support the camera sensor properly, when it isn't out-of-sync of course.
As regards Video Recording, the quality and frame-rate of 1080p30 videos is OK, and it can shoot also in 2160p25 with a decent stable frame-rate.
The Front-Camera is placed on the lower front side of the device, so you need to shoot photos with the device upside-down for selfies and so on. The Quality isn't too bad, but colors look a bit washed-out.
Audio
Surprisingly, considering the small size of the device, its Speaker is powerful, with a little amount of low-frequencies and excessive distortion at maximum volume. The Earpiece though is a whole different story, due to its limited size, there is a complete lack of low-frequencies, and the volume is a bit limited.
As regards the Microphone, it is as good as the speaker, with high sensitivity and clarity. Everyone was able to hear me perfectly while in-call.
GPS
GPS Quality is perfect, with no issues at all with signal stability and accuracy. Finally Mediatek fixed the GPS on the Helio P25 considering the amount of issues present on the Helio P10.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Providing full european bands support (with 4G Band 20), the device was able to keep a stable connection to my 4G Network, with decent speeds (considering other devices tested in the same place) and mid-high signal.
WiFi 5GHz is supported, and connected at 121Mbps, i was able to reach almost ~60Mbps. Probably not as high as expected from the Link Speed, but still better than using the 2.4GHz connection.
Battery Life
As my usual reviewing routine, i measured the real battery capacity using an USB Tester, and it seems to be way lower than declared, ~300mAh less. (declared 3380mAh, real ~3080mAh)
Luckily, PCMark run just fine on this device even though it is running Android Nougat. Other Mediatek Devices with Nougat (and also some with Marshmallow) caused the Benchmark to stop by itself after some hours. The result is not so good unfortunately for a 3380mAh battery, but for a 3080mAh it is acceptable.
Thanks to the 2.0A charger, and the small battery, it is possible to recharge the device completely in more or less 2 hours. Maybe a Pump Express Charger would have been appreciated for even faster charging, but it is fast enough already.
Software
Unlike previous DOOGEE devices, this is the first one released with DoogeeOS (based on FreemeOS), with an ad-hoc launcher and some extra customizations. It is based on Android 7.0 Nougat (hopefully will be updated to 7.1.1 soon), with June 2017 security patches and, unfortunately, some pre-installed bloatware that can be uninstalled and/or disabled.
The UI feels smooth, i must admit not as smooth as i would have expected, but this is an early release so i can't blame DOOGEE for that. OTA Updates will gradually improve the device, just like other brands do.
Following the Mediatek line-up, also this one features MiraVision, Gestures (such as tap-to-wake) and so on...
Yes, it includes a Magnetometer/Compass and Gyroscope! Finally a device with a complete set of sensors.
No malwares detected with Malware-Bytes Anti-Malware using latest definitions.
As regards the Fingerprint Scanner management, it is as easy to manage as on all Android Nougat devices, and it is fast to unlock the device. I have to report that sometimes, after keeping the screen off for a long time, it sleeps a bit too much, requiring to turn on the screen in order to get the finger recognized.
Review (part 2)
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – Thankfully the Mali-T880MP2 is able to handle almost everything.
AndroBench – I don't know yet the eMMC brand and model, but its performance is really good.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – 720p Gaming on a Mali-T880MP2 = Buttery Smooth experience.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is confusing. The CPU is recognized as MT6757CH instead of MT6757T, and its performance isn't higher than a Helio P20. Software Issue? I hope so.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – Just like on most GPUs, this benchmark struggles to run smooth. This is normal, only super high-end devices could handle this properly.
PCMark – Interesting results, being the first time i benchmark an Helio P25 i do not have any point of referral that i can use to compare these scores.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Luckily Vellamo is kind enough to provide a list of devices in order to compare all scores, and the result is as good as i would have expected, excluding for the Single-Core benchmark, a bit low.
Conclusions
DOOGEE MIX, the first innovative device i have reviewed in the 2017. Clone of the Mi Mix? Not really. I would call it the little brother.
The device itself beats all previous DOOGEE devices when it comes to the design and overall price-performance ratio, and excluding the software that isn't ready yet in my opinion, i find it to be unique and balanced.
Of course it isn't perfect, due to missing the Notification LED and 720p screen, but being the first try from DOOGEE to release something 100% new and hard to engineer, i am definitely happy with the result.
Do i recommend it? It is all up to you, this is a device that has some features that some users may like and some users may not. Personally, i like everything except the AMOLED over-saturated colors, but i know lots of friends that love this kind of screens so...think on every single feature and choose if it can satisfy your requirements or not. ^^
Pros:
Outstading Design
Ergonomically Perfect
Android 7.0 Nougat with latest security patches
Camera2 API Supported for Manual Focus and RAW Capture
AMOLED screen for real blacks
Magnetometer/Compass & Gyroscope are here
Cons:
Sleepy Fingerprint Scanner
HD-only screen = Low Pixel Density
Over-Saturated screen colors (PERSONAL)
No Notification LED
Battery Capacity doesn't match the declared value (at least on my review unit)

Awesome review. Bought one... waiting for it to arrive. I'll hope to have custom roms for it.
looks like at the end there are some benchmarks there that are not suppose to be there, namely for the xiaomi mi mix instead of doogee mix

ok no problem
Thank you for the good review. do you think that cistom roms will be released for this device?
Excellent job on the review Alberto. A lot of work you put into it. We're working on a TWRP now.
Our review will be coming soon.

And the speaker sound is real stereo?
There will be a software that ix the recording video sound or is a hardware bug?
Thanks

1) No, single speaker on the bottom.
2) I don't have the same issue :/
While having the Mix (6GB version) for 3 days now, I wanted to share my thoughts with you:
Pro:
- Display is almost as sharp to my eyes as a 1080p (thought this would be a minus)
- Looks nice and has premium feeling
- Works OK
- Is quite speedy
- Excellent mic (people hear me very well)
- fingerprint sensor works very fine on my sample
Cons:
- Very Heavy!!!
- Camera indoors is total crap, cannot even take any photos which are sharp, it seems this one cannot even properly focus in mid to low light.
- Earpiece speaker max. loudness is less than Oneplus X, Vernee Mars or Asus, or Nexus 4 (which is the best)
- Loudspeaker is waay to silent, compared to other ones, barely usable with speakerphone setup.
- battery drains faster then my OPX (which has low reputation)
- IT's not a bezel-less design, since it's wider than my old ASUS Zenfone 2 Z00AD.
And I'm afraid no SW update will come soon (or even ever) to this one.
But - Value for money is OK.
my 2 cents.
Bluboo S1 or Maze Alpha? I'm considering cancelling my order for Maze Alpha and grab the S1 instead.

I was Cheated. I got a response from Doogee's support that the Doogee mix had stereo speakers and that there would be an update to correct the camera's sound and other errors. Mine is already on the way and should be almost to come ... if I could I cancel the purchase and buy the bluboo s1 or another of the same range. thank you
Great Review my friend
So it seems that now, 7 years after the Xperia Play, that gaming phones are starting to really become a thing. Razer released a "gaming" phone with a super fast display. Motorola released a gamepad mod for the Z line. There have also been a couple others like the Nubia Red Magic and Xiaomi Black Shark, but only the Black Shark has attempted to add any gaming controls to a "gaming" phone, and it was basic at best. Now Asus is jumping into the game and they have the most powerful phone yet!

But not only are the specs high, but it's also set to have a slew of accessories. The main one being a GameVice to give it full gamepad controls. There's a TV mirroring accessory and a desktop dock. There's also a sort of dual-screen handheld accessory, but that will require developer support to take off. There's even a fan cooler accessory. Plus the phone itself has a couple of touch buttons on the edges that can be mapped to work as virtual buttons. All things considered, this looks like the most interesting of the "gaming" phones thus far and potentially a spiritual successor for the Xperia Play, even if the gamepad isn't integrated.

Im really hype for this one. ROG phone will be my next gaming device after Nokia N-Gage QD and Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY
ok nice and all but still lacks integrated gamepad if i have to carry 2 devices anyway i´ll take my phone and my 3ds..sorry asus, nice try
I see all the other accessories, but the only one I want is the controller. Not the two screens, or the dock, or the tv mirroring...but that controller that grips from the sides horizontally. It's awesome!!!
I agree with your assessment OP, this was the first phone I really saw as a successor to the xperia play. Such a shame it has taken this long.
The thing about the GameVice gamepad is that it's been around for awhile for both iPhone and Galaxy phones. This is the first "gaming" phone to use it, but not the first phone. So if that's all you're looking for, you could get an older model for a much more popular (and at this point, affordable) phone.
While I would love to see another integrated gamepad, I don't feel like that's going to realistically happen. I think some sort of accessory dock or case will be the way it goes. As long as the gamepad portion is easily portable and pocketable, I'm okay with it.
EDIT:
Unless you live in China where Snail still releases gaming phones with gamepads from iReadyGo. There's another that came out last year:

Hmm. All I had seen prior was iphone lightning port connected controllers. Thanks for putting that on my radar!
While shopping around it appeared that in searching for a one-fits-all solution there weren't hardwired controllers for android.
