The long-awaited ROG Phone 2, the successor of the highly acclaimed ROG Phone, has now been released in the Philippines.
Continuing ROG’s world’s first streak, the ROG Phone II will be the first-ever smartphone with a 6.59-inch display that features 120Hz/1ms, AMOLED 10-bit HDR display, and will be the first implementation of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus mobile platform with a CPU clocking up to 2.96GHz. The ROG Phone II also has a graphics processor from Qualcomm, the Adreno 640. Backing up the CPU and GPU of the ROG Phone II is the upgraded GameCool II 3D vapor-chamber cooling system that sustains full-speed performance for even longer durations.
Gaming that never stops can be achieved with its 6000mAh battery and its 30W ROG HyperCharge power adapter, which provides safe, ultrafast direct charging.
To continue and to even further the rich gaming experience that the ROG Phone started, the ROG Phone 2 will feature an upgraded AirTrigger II ultra-sonic sensors, Dual Surrounding Vibration technology, and enhanced front-facing stereo speakers.
ASUS Republic of Gamers also revealed the new TwinView Dock II that provides immersive dual-screen gaming and the multi-configuration ROG Kunai Gamepad that presents users with ultimate console-like gaming experience.
