Asus ROG Phone 2 has made its India debut. Asus on Monday launched its second-generation gaming-centric phone at an event in New Delhi. The ROG Phone 2 brings a host of upgrades over its predecessor and is powered by the Snapdragon 855+ SoC, paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512GB UFS 3.0 of internal storage. The phone also comes with upgraded ultrasonic Air Triggers 2 for gaming, stereo speakers with DTS: X Ultra support, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. Another notable improvement is the phone's display, which boasts of a 120Hz refresh rate.
In the camera department, ROG Phone 2 bring along the same dual rear-camera setup as the company’s flagship ZenFone 6 (or Asus 6z, as it’s called in India). This means you get a primary 48MP (f/1.79) Sony IMX586 sensor and a secondary 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens on the rear. There’s also a 24MP/4C selfie camera in tow and it is such a tiny module that it fits on the same side as the rear cameras.
The highlight of ROG Phone 2, apart from the 120Hz/1ms AMOLED screen, will have to be the humongous 6,000mAh battery baked into this gaming-centric smartphone. You get a 30W HyperCharger in the box and Asus says that it can juice up 66.66% battery in just one hour. You’ve got a vapor chamber, copper heat spreader, and graphite pads inside for heat dissipation.
Talking about connectivity, ROG Phone 2 still includes dual-USB ports – one at the bottom and other on the side for fast-charging and attaching accessories. It sports Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11ac in India (WiFi 6 supported in international markets), a 3.5mm headphone jack (coupled with 4 microphones), and four Wi-Fi antennas for perfect reception (better latency) while playing your games.
