It’s been a little over 4 months now that ASUS first announced and showcased the ROG Phone back at Computex. Ian had written up a hands-on article showcasing the various intriguing aspects of the phone.
ASUS positions the ROG Phone as a gaming device. While most other vendor’s marketed gaming devices try to differentiate themselves through their looks, the ROG Phone actually seems to manage to offer a unique set of hardware differentiations. Key aspects to the ROG Phone itself is the higher binned and clocked Snapdragon 845, running at up to 2.96GHz, as well as the 90Hz AMOLED screen.
The one thing ASUS hadn’t talked about was pricing and availability; today we see the price list of both the phone as well as its many accessories released:
