I love the phone so far. The worst part of it is that it's a LG in all honesty. LG's Android skin is hot garbage. They're bloatware is annoying to say the least. The bootloader can't be unlocked. I haven't found a way to root it yet.
I really wish we could flash near stock Android on the phone. All the advantages of stock Android as well as duel screen functionality. That would be the dream.

speed and battery life is great, im trying to use the stock launcher, also i havent got into the dual screen too much so far, really miss the root capabilities on my op5, hope we get a good root guide
and man the audio is unbeatable.

Back to being a LG fan
I'm late to the game but I really like this phone, glad it's way better than the g7, purchsed it yesterday,glad to be away from Samsung.

Wonderful display, great battery, no bloatware.
So far nice, I have experienced few times the phone becoming so hot when I am using under Mobile Data. Battery Backup drains fast on Mobile data (5 hours approx), overall performance is fine.
I love it! <3
I really adore the handling and the performance. Especially I was lucky to get 64 GB model There's just one little flaw: The fingerprintsensor is pretty moody and sensitive to dirt. So I need often to clean it before I can use it.
It's not a flagship nor does it pretend to have high performance for gaming but still, it get the job done. Most of the time, apps are launching quickly without lag, you may get a small delay with bulkier app but it's not that bad. I once played with an iPhone 8 and it appeared to have the same kind of delay when launching bulkier app. Our Galaxy A8 is doing good compared to an iPhone! Most importantly, build quality is great. Coming from a crappy LG G5, I can see how good is the Galaxy A8, it's built like a tank compared to the LG.

this reminds me of a Techmaster PEB song called "computer love"
Well... Was badly after A50 and so I got one last week. Long story short I am pulling my A8 out from the drawer and will be my daily driver again. During the week of using the A50 was not impressed as much as I expected. The A8 has more pros...

The whorst purchase in 2018. Rating 2.5. will be beautiful in my closed, only this.
Got one as a backup phone and for the price is excellent. (bare in mind this is and entry level device... the lowest tier on Android devices, do not expect to be amazed!).
The SoC performs very well and even under heavy load does not warm too much, Android comes almost vanilla and so far just go 2 security updates. No bloatware, no nothing. Screen is small but very responsive.
Very fast response even on app switching, good mic and speaker, small to fit in any pocket and you actually can use chrome with a good performance.
Now the camera is entry level quality (still better than the ones on Vodafone brand devices with the same price tag), the screen is bellow HD and of course small and you will need an SDcard because it only has about 4.5GiB available in the eMMC.
For the price this will do wonders imho.
Phone is very compact and very easy for single handed usage.
stock android with nokia promise of software updates
Its all you can expect from this.
Very slow interface, very bad camera.

Price/Performens is the best i seen!
Best Mobile in this price group
Something's strange about this phone... I got it together with Xperia XZ2 from my operator and I have to say that I love both of them.
Motorola has some older CPU, mid class display but it gives this strange joy of use, even when used in parallel with much higher class device. Great experience.
So... overall love ? Yes, a big love
i get even more

I switch from the Samsung Note4 tot the Samsung Note10lite. i have mixed feelings about this step. The Note4 is a great phone, To me the best phone ever made. Unfortunately, it broke after 6 years. I choose the Note10lite. It's much much faster then the note4, battery life is great, The stylus works better then the one on the note4. the three camera's are nice The downsides (to me) are, Android 10, I jumped from Android 6 to Android 10. In the beginning I thought I bought an Iphone, The look and feel is almost the same, and I hate IOS and love Android 6. Further I miss the IR transmitter and the possibility to change the battery like the note4. The phone is too long in compare with its width, A disadvantage of all modern phones. Also the tweak ability is worse. Every morning I he refuse the biometric authentication and I have to login again. I search for hours to get rid of this behavior , without result.
Great
I can say I love it! No phone is perfect but it can be perfect in many ways, so I can say I love it yes. Having a great time using it.

The best phone I had sees the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. It feels sturdy and I like the heaviness (I am the kind of guy who add the keyboard extension to an Xbox controller for make it heavier). The battery doesn't drain on heavy use nether does it feel like a toaster in the hands. It is the smoothest experience I ever had.
I am not fan of cameras on phone, it can't compare to a true camera. So not having the best camera on this phone is not a problem. It does the job I need it to do.
Black crush is a bit annoying in some cases but I am sure it'll be fixed and I didn't experienced it often. Before this phone I had a Galaxy note 2, Galaxy S7 edge, HTC U Ultra and a Galaxy note 10 plus on hands but none of this phone gave me a woah effect. Until I got my hands on this phone.
Only regret is that this phone will never have a big community, so there will not have much things going on this forum. But even so I am a proud owner of this of the rog phone 3.
5* from me

I had a Xiaomi Mi 9 before this phone, and I like the ROG Phone 3 a lot more!
Even the cameras are better than the Mi 9's cameras, which means good enough for me.
As @bASKOU wrote, the ROG 3 is quite sturdy and heavy - that's fine! -, and it's quite well balanced, so you can use it one handed (plus there is a dedicated option for this too), the 6Ah battery is a WIN, coupled with the SD865+ SoC you can't deplete it in a day - I charge it once in like 3 or even 4 days!
Yeah, it's a niche phone, it will never be the tinkerers' dream, there won't be dozens of custom ROMs and kernels for it - but for me it's also not a problem, since it has stock Android 10 (let's hope that ASUS will update it soon to Android 11 ), and the stock launcher is snappy enough (still, I'm using Nova Launcher Prime, since I love it!).
The 144Hz display is good enough, even if it has black crush visible here and there - that's also not a dealbreaker for me.
I bought the 12/128GB Tencent version with the global ROM, which I was able to update to the latest global (WW) ROM - everything's fine, there are no stutters, everything feels buttery smooth...
So let's sum it: I love my ROG Phone 3, it's the phone of my dreams, it ticks all the checkboxes for me.
I'm coming off a Oneplus 7T, which is a great little phone.
The Rog 3 has made me forget about it completely (well almost, nostalgia aside).
Have definitely fallen hard for this device.
More so than any other phone I've owned (despite its short comings).
I look forward to a good couple of years, using my new Rog 3.
