The phone is basically designed for hardcore gamers by thinking each and everything that could be needed the design, compatible gaming accessories, best performance, etc. ROG phone was a first announced last with extraordinary features like a 90Hz FHD AMOLED display, an overclocked Snapdragon 845 SoC, 3 USB type-c ports, ultrasonic pressure-sensitive “Air Trigger” buttons, and many more. And this year Asus again impressed the gamers out there with ROG Phone 2.
Asus ROG Phone 2 Specs and Features
Display
Speaking of the display, ROG Phone 2 has a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz which is much better than last year’s 90Hz display and supports 10-bit HDR. Although the refresh rate is set to 60Hz out-of-the-box, it can be changed in display settings later. It also features 49ms touch latency which is a result of the 240Hz touch sampling rate. The device also sports an Optical under-display fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication.
Camera
ROG Phone 2 has a dual-camera setup at the rear which is equipped with a 48MP Quad Bayer(Sony IMX586) as the main camera sensor and a 13MP secondary sensor for the 125° ultra-wide-angle. At the front, it doesn’t feature any pop-up, flip or sliding mechanism rather it has a dedicated 24MP selfie camera.
Performance
Under the hood, ROG Phone sports the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC which overclocks the Adreno 640 GPU to 675MHz for a 15% boost in performance. The prime CPU core is overclocked to2.96GHz for a 4% boost in performance. The SoC is paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of onboard storage which works on UFS 3.0 technology. It is also equipped with a 3d vapor chamber which reduces the throttling for better performance. And again this year it has the ultrasonic pressure-sensitive “Air Trigger” buttons specially designed for better gaming experience but with an enhanced vibration latency which is reduced by 68% from 63ms to 20ms.
Battery, Software, and Ports
The device has a massive 6,000mAh battery with 30-watt fast charging support which ultimately relies on a type-c port for charging. And as it sports a 3.5mm headphone jack which is very important for a gamer. The device will have all the basic sensors. ROG Phone 2 will come with Android 9 on board.
Asus ROG Phone 2 Accessories
Like last year, Asus also included a bunch of accessories with it. Some of the accessories are same as last, some are same but with more enhancement and some are totally new. Like the clip-on fan which is almost same but this new and improved AeroActive Cooler II is apparently four times quieter, and it can reduce the surface temperature by up to 5 degrees Celsius lower. Another included accessory is the skeletal Aero Case, which leaves the phone’s glowing logo exposed, and it also lets you mount the clip-on fan over it. And here is the brand new ROG Kunai Gamepad, with which you can clip the two controllers together via a holder, in which you can toggle between Bluetooth, USB and 2.4GHz RF connection (there’s a USB dongle receiver for this) to control the phone.
These are the list of all accessories announced with ROG Phone 2:
