Summary

Asus’s first ROG gaming phone 2 was one of the most maximalist takes on the concept to date, so it’s only appropriate that the company follow up with a new model to stay on the bleeding edge. The ROG Phone looks like a spec bump more than a design revolution — but as spec bumps go, it’s a pretty hefty one.

It is a gaming-centric flagship smartphone that comes with a robust configuration to meet the need of the gamers. It has a long-time battery backup, which will be greatly admired. The camera performance is also very promising. There is huge internal storage too. However, the budget of the device is maybe heavier for some consumers.

Display and Camera

The Asus ROG Phone 2 flaunts a 6.59-inch OLED display having a resolution of 1,080 x 2,160 pixels and a density of 366 PPI. The aspect ratio of 18:9 makes it look better. The device has a Corning Gorilla Glass as well, which protects it from minor scratches and marks.

For the cameras, it has a 16MP, 8MP and 5MP lenses, which has been provided with many features and filters to capture awesome pictures. At the front, there is a 16MP sensor, which clicks equally good selfie pictures one would love to share.

The Asus ROG Phone 2 has been equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ chipset with an octa-core processor having a clock speed of up to 2.96GHz. It is further assisted Adreno 640 and an 8GB RAM, which is great for graphics, games and smooth performance.

For the power backup, there is a Li-Po battery having a capacity of 5,800mAh, which is huge provided to back up the device for a long time. It is also provided with a quick charging feature that can refill the battery in a short time.

Storage and Connectivity

The storage capacity is 256GB, which is huge to make room for users to keep their files and data. There is no expandable memory slot.

For the connectivity, it has 4G VoLTE support in both the slots and other than that, it has Wi-Fi 802.11, a/b/g/n, Mobile Hotspot, Bluetooth, GPS with A-GPS, USB Type-C, etc.

Besides the usual display and SoC improvements, there are some actual gaming-centric features on the ROG Phone II that you won't get on other smartphones. The second USB port lives on the side of the phone, which is great for charging the device during a landscape gaming session without the cord getting in the way of your hands. We've seen a few phones with pressure-sensitive sensors in them now, and Asus uses them for shoulder buttons that exist on the left and right side of the phone in landscape.

Next to the side USB port is what Asus only calls a "proprietary connector," and the two ports team up to power a range of accessories from Asus. The clip-on cooling fan returns and comes bundled with the phone. A new "ROG Kunai Gamepad" looks like an edgy version of a Nintendo Switch controller, with two controller halves that can be held individually, slid into a controller mount, or connected to the sides of the phone with a special case.

Also returning is a new version of the TwinView Dock II, which mounts a second, identical display panel to your phone along with an extra 5000mAh battery. It looks like a ROG Phone II with a second ROG Phone II attached to it. You can Voltron the whole Asus accessory package together by putting your phone in the TwinView Dock and then connecting the controller halves to either side of the dock. You now have a 1.4 pound handheld gaming system.

The design is a minor evolution over last year's ROG Phone, and unless you see them side-by-side, they are hard to tell apart. The front of the phone is surprisingly generic-looking compared to the laser rave party on the back. You get an old-school top and bottom bezel design that skips the notches, hole punches, pop-up cameras, and other 2018-2019 design motifs in favor of simple straight lines. Front stereo speakers sit at the top and bottom edges of the phone, and copper accents just below the speakers are the only thing that give the front some personality.

The all-glass back of the phone looks like it will transform into a robot any second now, and it features a light-up RGB LED ROG logo, an "aerodynamic system" vent, and the dual-camera system with crazy-angled lenses for the cameras and LED flash.
