Although gaming has been an integral part of the mobile experience since its inception, the categories of 'smartphone gaming' were created relatively recently. American firm Razor started with its razor phone, followed by others like Nubia with its Red Magic and Xiaomi Black Shark. But a very important actor was lost in this gaming which has not yet been announced on the smartphone. We talk, of course, about Asus.
Asus rog phone is the best gaming phone. This phone is a top-rated phone this time there are so many new features and things
The Taiwanese company is known for its Asus ROG gaming product catalogue, although so far it has focused on computers. That has changed, and today Asus announced the new Asus ROG phone, its first mobile that focuses on the gaming sector, bringing a nice combination of very ambitious features and equipment.

If the sports product stands out to the naked eye, it is to bet on a very amazing design with fluorine colours and extremely aggressive straight lines. In the case of ROG phones, we have a lot of aesthetics, both in the phone and with the accessories, which we will talk about later.
Asus bets on the more traditional design of the front, although those with orange details on the upper and lower ends deceive the speakers that we don't have a traditional mobile phone. The screen is a special feature of this model anyway, the 6 inch AMOLED refresh rate which is 90 Hz, it is a little less than the 120 Hz offered by the Razer phone but it also increases the contrast ratio a lot and HDR support.
On the design, also comment that Asus introduced the baptism as an 'ultra-responsive air trigger' and translated it with a touch frame that allows games to be arranged on the sides of the terminal. So that it can be played with four fingers (when held horizontally, except for the thumbs, the index fingers on the upper edges. In addition, the terminal has a modern vibration system.
If we go to the back we get an even more aggressive design where the RO logo stands (which is backlit along the way) and straight lines like visual language. Even the fingerprint reader has an angular shape that is far from the normal round shape. Right above us, we have a camera, a dual one that connects the 12 and 8-megapixel sensors. Regarding the front camera, we have an 8-megapixel sensor.
An aggregate electric and cooling system that 'evaporates' heat
What is the main role in gaming smartphones? How else could it be, the Asus ROG phone is mounted on the Snapdragon 845, Qualcomm's most powerful chip that comes in improved editions with a frequency of 2.96 GHz, and the Adeno 630 GPU is suitable for gaming. ۔ In addition, it has 8 GB of RAM and no less than 512 GB of storage, although there is an even more limited version that lasts up to 128 GB. Not too bad
They say that power without control is useless, and in this case, the control comes with a cooling system which Asus has called 3D Gamecol Steam Chamber. The system consists of a 1 mm thick copper plate that covers almost the entire terminal surface and dissipates heat rapidly.
In this section, we also highlight the battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh and comes with a quick charge system that allows it to reach 605 charges in 33 minutes.
Gaming experience in accessories
Aerobic cooler
The Asus smartphone features sports-like features such as an improved GPU or its screen with 90 Hz refresh, but what completes it is the accessories in the gaming experience it comes with.
We were talking about an integrated cooling system in the terminal, but Asus doesn't want your new mobile to get as hot as possible and besides, they offer accessories that attach to the back like a clip and Performs a dual function: on the one hand it is cooled with a small fan and on the other hand it adds a USB port and a manipulator so that the cables are not disturbed when the phone is held horizontally. These accessories are called air coolers
R is the only thing that connects to the terminal.
Mobile desktop dock
The next accessory is called Mobile Desktop Dock and, as its name implies, is a basis for allowing you to use the device's low-latency connection from an external monitor for streaming. Has been prepared. It also has keyboard and mouse ports.
Twin View Dock
There is another tool called Twin View Dock which is also for streaming. In this case, it is a second screen that connects to a mobile capable of having two apps at the same time on the game and on the other side streaming. In addition, an additional battery with a capacity of 6,000 mAh is included in this accessory.
WiGig dock and game voice controller
Finally, there's the Wigg Dock and Game Voice controller, a dock with Wi-Fi 802.11 ad connectivity (up to 4.6 Gbps), and a kind of Nintendo Switch-style controller that lets you play games more easily. Allows you to control while moving without any screen. . As we said, these accessories are not included, only air cooler, we will have to wait to know the prices.
Asus ROG phone versions and prices
The Asus RG phone has been announced in the framework of the Computex Fair in Taiwan, but for the moment, Asus has reserved prices for both versions of the terminal (128 or 512 GB) and its accessories. Looking at the specifications and knowing the gamer sector pricing policy, we don't expect it to be exactly economic. We will leave the scepticism in the third quarter of this year when Asus hopes to sell it.
