Earlier this morning at Computex 2018 in Taipei, ASUS revealed their answer the Razer Phone. Introducing their ROG (Republic Of Gamers) Phone: packed w/ enough high-end specs to be possible the most powerful phone in Android - at the moment.
It is armed w/ a 6inch AMOLED HDR display w/ 2160 x 1080 resolution/90Hz refresh display/10,000:1 contrast ratio, powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 845 CPU, 8GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage, vapor-cooling to prevent overheating, 8MP selfie camera, dual rear-facing 12MP + 8MP (120-degree wide angle), dual front-facing stereo speakers w/ amp, 24-bit DAC, DTS X: 7.1 virtual surround sound support, hi-def aptX streaming support, headphone jack, Wi-Fi ad, Bluetooth 5.0, and a whopping 4000 mAh battery.
You can also dock the ROG Phone to get a more diverse gaming experience. You can dock it into a TwinView Dock that gives you a split screen view w/quad speakers, enhanced cooling, extra trigger buttons, dual-haptic feedback, and an additional 6000 mAh battery. You also have a Mobile Desktop Dock to hook it up to an external 4K monitor, keyboard, & mouse. And a Gamevice controller w/ WiGig Dock using 60Hz 802.11ad Wi-Fi that turns your ROG Phone into a mobile console w/ dual analog joysticks, left/right fire triggers, bumpers, a D-pad, A/B?X/Y/L3/R3 button array.
This device seems really crazy. I'm sure this will be quite the interesting device, especially since PUBG & Fornite is on or making their way to smartphones. We don't have word on pricing but we can expect it arrive sometime in the 3rd quarter.
Who's interested in picking this up when it comes out?
