Asustek Computer Inc (華碩) co-CEO S.Y. Hsu (許先越) yesterday said he is upbeat about the company’s outlook, as its new Asus ROG Phone II has received “better-than-expected” feedback from the gaming community.
The positive comment came despite the company’s mobile phone business incurring a loss of NT$1.09 billion (US$34.60 million) last quarter.
