Hands-on: The ASUS ROG gaming phone is a beast
Reviews
The ASUS ROG Phone.

The ASUS ROG Phone is a beast of a device, featuring a 6-inch AMOLED display, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, 8GB of RAM, a 4,000mAh battery, dual rear cameras, and dual nano SIM slots. The device features two USB Type-C ports (one on the bottom and one on the side for charging while you play), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a vapor chamber cooling system.

The phone also comes with an external AeroActive Cooler, which helps keep the device even cooler during long sessions of play. Check out how it works below:

There are also multiple other accessories available separately for the ASUS ROG Phone, including computer docks, gaming controller grips, and even something called a TwinView Dock which adds a full second screen to the device.
