Asus ROG Phone vs ROG Phone 2
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
The ROG Phone 2 is a classic second phone: an iterative improvement that doesn’t rock the boat too much. The core ethos is exactly the same, but improvements across the board do their bit to justify the new model - especially the giant battery and 120Hz display - and might even be enough to tempt an upgrade for original ROG Phone owners.

The Asus ROG Phone is an over the top handset with just about everything a gamer could want including AreoActive Cooler, AirTriggers and an overclocked Snapdragon. Whether it's for you comes down to whether you buy into all these elements. This is a marmite phone due to the way Asus has gone to town with the design, features and software.

ASUS ROG Phone Review: Gamer’s delight despite a few caveats
Source: Fone Arena Archive.org version
Ever since the inception of mobile phones, gaming has always been an integral part of it. Be it Nokia 1100 or the recently launched ASUS ROG phone. While the term ‘Mobile Gaming’ wasn’t taken very seriously a few years back, titles like Angry Birds, Clash of Clans, and the currently trending PUBG have changed things drastically.

Asus ROG Phone review: Too much gamer in one phone
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
When the ROG Phone was announced I was excited. Being a gamer means I can appreciate silly things like RGB logos and active cooling—even on my phone. When improvements like front-firing speakers and high-refresh-rate screens improve daily use as well as gaming, that's the best of both worlds.

Asus ROG Phone Review
Source: Gadget Diary Archive.org version
At a price tag of Rs. 69,999, the Asus ROG Phone is definitely tough to recommend but keep in mind that the phone is targeted towards a very selected number of people who want a device that lets them game without issues or hitches. The ROG Phone is a cool concept and I really loved using it but the only thing pulling it back is the price. Since this is a ROG product, it is good to see Asus investing in the mobile gaming sphere as well. This is a great competitor for some good gaming phones in the future.

If you're in the market for a gaming phone, the Asus ROG Phone is the one to get, with the best balance of hardware and features for hardcore mobile gamers. For casual gamers, however, the phone may be overkill. The OnePlus6T has excellent specs for $350 less, while the Pixel 3XL features the best smartphone camera you'll find, and is first in line to get Android updates and special features.

On the other hand, if you are simply looking for a versatile smartphone and not necessarily a "gaming" phone, then we would advise you to look elsewhere. The ROG Phone is a first generation product and a tech showcase in every sense of the word. It's aimed at a very niche and still an emerging market. It's a glorious glimpse into a great potential future mobile branch, but one that still needs some work to earn an all-around recommendation.

Priced at Rs 69,999, the phone seems to be on the pricier side. However, if you are a die-hard gamer and it’s not money that concerns you too much, the Asus ROG phone can be a delight for you.

There’s nothing wrong with the Asus ROG Phone as such. It’s a well-made smartphone that will surely click with a group of hardcore gamers and geeks, though they represent a minority. The handset costs a lot and that’s stopping me from recommending the ROG Phone at the moment. The ROG Phone is priced at Rs 69,999 which is no small amount, although not quite as much as Apple iPhone XS.

Asus has turned in an excellent phone in the ROG. Being no stranger to what gamers and smartphone buyers want, the company hits all the right notes here. Build quality is top-notch and its aesthetics balance serious looks with serious performance quite well. Internally, we have the best hardware you can currently get on an Android phone and a company that knows how to make the most of it. In fact, Asus couldn’t stop making hardware for it and produced a bunch of really neat accessories to go along with the ROG Phone. Lastly, we find more of Asus’ strong prowess in photography in the ROG, proving that compromises in areas like this aren’t necessary to have the best gaming phone on the market.

ASUS ROG Phone First Impressions
Source: B2G Archive.org version
Experiencing the ROG phone’s capabilities such as its AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate paired with proprietary and gamer centric features such as the Air Triggers, AeroDynamic Cooler and a stat monitor is truly a game changing experience. The 90Hz refreshrate improves the overall quality of life as scrolling and browsing through apps feels smooth while it also contributes to the overall immersion when gaming. The lack of time and accessories such as the game vice and dock render our conclusion incomplete. But so far, the ASUS ROG has done a splendid job in shaping the gaming smartphone industry.

ROG Phone review - Power Overwhelming
Source: Tech Nave Archive.org version
Even without turning on its Super Saiyan mode, it's already capable of beating out most other flagships. Combine that with a thoughtful ergonomic design, innovative AirTrigger function, decent camera performance and compatible with various innovative gaming accessories, I think RM3499 is worth it for serious mobile gamers. The only thing that I dislike is the heat and fast battery drainage issue but I guess it can't be helped much. If the ROG Phone was a Pokemon, it would be a Heatran because it's a legendary fire and steel type Pokemon. This should give you an idea of how powerful the ROG Phone is.

Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
Asus isn’t known for its high-end phones. Traditionally, they’ve skirted the mid-range and attempted to bring a lot of value to the consumer at a lower price. That changed a bit with the ZenFone 5Z, which packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 among other high-end specs. While this seemed like a pretty beefy phone on its own, Asus has upped the ante with the announcement of the ROG Phone.

There's no doubt that the ROG Phone isn't going to come cheap. Given the specifications and engineering that go into it, we'd expect its price to be significantly higher than that of the ZenFone 5z. China would seem like the most obvious place to make a big push, but we're told that the ROG Phone could launch very soon in India. Given that we're still waiting for the ZenFone 5z to make it to our shores, we'll hold on till we have concrete information before getting too excited.

ASUS Gaming Smartphone: 11mm-style ROG Phone with Speed-Binned Snapdragon 845
Source: AnandTech Archive.org version
ASUS producing a gaming smartphone is one of the more esoteric news stories at the Computex 2018 trade show this year. To fire a shot right across the bow of Razer, ASUS is putting its ROG credentials on display: a speed-binned Snapdragon 845 running at a higher frequency than the standard S845 smartphones, a higher-than-standard 90 Hz refresh rate display with 1ms response time and 108% DCI-P3 gamut, programmable ultrasonic AirTrigger sensors, force feedback, and additional docks for purchase. One of the key elements is that ASUS built this phone with an 11mm thickness, well beyond the 7-8mm we see on flagship smartphones today. They have put that additional volume to incredible use for extra battery, more haptics, bigger speakers, more connectivity, and it's a showcase of what we could see if other smartphone manufacturers offered a bit extra z-height.

No entanto, quando comparado com o Razer Phone 2, o ROG Phone é melhor em quase todos os aspectos.

E com luzes RGB, o ROG Phone é um abraço sem remorso à cultura gamer, para o bem ou para o mal.
Positive: High performance; powerful processor; long battery life; nice cameras; beautiful design. Negative: Relatively high price.

Model: The Asus ROG Phone is a smartphone built for gaming purpose. ROG, a famous sub brand of Asus, stands for Republic of Gamers and is a division of Asus that focuses on gaming, e-sports, and modding PCs. The company has made a lot of gaming laptops which look cool with heat vents, LED lightings as well as device designs inspired by different game environments and weapons. It is about time Asus implements these features to make gaming smartphones. This is a phone built to win. Its world-beating, speed-binned 2.96 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform and Adreno 630 GPU deliver great performance not only for gaming but also to run multiple apps. The Snapdragon 845 on the ROG phone is slightly overclocked, thus it could produce more heat compared to other devices with the same processor. To combat with heat produced when a user is gaming, its unique GameCool vapor-chamber cooling system with detachable AeroActive Cooler makes up for an extra cooling boost and sustains high frame rates in the heat of battle. Using a combination of tough, precision-crafted 2.5D- and 3D-curved Corning Gorilla Glass with diamond-cut highlights and copper detailing, the metal-framed, water-resistant ROG Phone combines battle-hardened construction with a very comfortable gaming grip.

The display is also one of the best in the market right now. It features an OLED 6-inch notch-free 18:9 panel that pushes a resolution of Full HD+. As a gaming smartphone, it has a refresh rate of 90 Hz, which is higher than a normal smartphone and it also has a 1 ms response time. With a wide 108.6 % DCI-P3 (sRGB 145%) color gamut, colors are incredibly vivid too, so game worlds look as glorious as they were intended. To further enhance the gaming experience, the ROG phone features DTS:X Ultra 1.0 which delivers incredibly realistic 3D audio rendering for any kind of games or virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), featuring immersive 7.1-channel surround-sound with an enhanced bass response. On the back of the smartphones, there are two sensors which are a 12-MP one and a secondary 8-MP wide-angle camera. Although the camera is not the most attractive feature on a gaming smartphone, it captures decent quality photos, particularly with its wide-angle camera to capture wider angled photos. As for the battery, the handset features a large 4,000 mAh battery inside with support for Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4 technology and USB-PD fast-charging. It will be important for the battery to support quick charge as gaming consumes more power. Asus also included other gaming features like a built-in nickel-plated cooler, a pair of capacitive AirTriggers, and two USB-C ports. The Asus ROG phone also has multiple accessories to be picked up separately, which includes ROG Phone Case, Asus Professional Dock, GAMEVICE controller, Mobile Desktop Dock, ROG Suitcase, ASUS WiGig Display Dock and Twinview Dock.
