Asus ROG Phone Announced, a Beast Gaming Phone that will Change the Game for Mobile

Asus ROG Phone was finally announced by Asus Republic of Gamers on June 4, 2018. This much awaited beast gaming phone is heavily focused on gaming aspect, just like ROG laptops and desktop PCs. Just like ROG PCs and laptops, this phone has a liquid cooling system also, featuring world's first 3D vapor-chamber cooling system called "GameCool". Enjoy the most graphically demanding mobile games without issues of phone heating.

The ASUS ROG Phone is the first gaming phone from ASUS powered by Snapdragon 845 clocked at 2.96GHz and an AMOLED HDR display with 90Hz refresh rate. The 90Hz refresh rate offers more eye comfort and a more immersive experience, especially for VR Technology (Virtual Reality).

ASUS managed to squeeze more processing power from the Snapdragon 845 chip on the ASUS ROG Phone making it run at a maximum speed of 2.96GHz compared to the usual 2.8GHz, making it Qualcomm's fastest-ever mobile platform. The Snapdragon 845 SoC was composed of eight Kryo CPU cores and Adreno 630 graphics which have enough horsepower for the latest games.

There are touch buttons on the sides of the phone perfect for being used as triggers when playing in landscape mode. Gaming accessories include a cooler, desktop dock and WiGig dock. The WiGig Dock takes a different approach to secondary screens by using low-latency 802.11ad 60GHz WiFi to broadcast display signals to a base station that plugs into big-screen TVs.

Aside from its gaming-centric specs, the device also has a dual rear camera system, Hi-Fi audio and a massive 4000mAh battery.

There are two storage variants of the ASUS ROG Phone - a 128GB and a 512GB variant.
