Asus ROG Smartphone Features
Asus didn’t want to be left behind and has launched its new smartphone under the “Republic of Gamers” branding, aimed towards hardcore smartphone gamers. Republic of Gamers, commonly known as ROG is the branding that ASUS has been using for a while now for their gaming-centric PCs as well as accessories. The ROG smartphone from the Taiwanese tech-giant comes with Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line chip, the Snapdragon 845, speed-binned to achieve clock speeds of up to 2.96 GHz. This, along with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, up to 512GB UFS storage options, a 6-inch AMOLED HDR display with a 90Hz refresh rate, 1ms pixel response time and 10000:1 contrast ratio and a massive 4000mAh battery. The cameras are a 12+8MP dual camera set up, with the latter being a wide angle sensor. The ROG smartphone is said to have an AnTuTu score of 304183. Asus has implemented a 3D vapor cooling thermal management technology to combat reaching high temperatures with continuous gaming. “X-mode” is a gaming mode provided to block any interference in the form of notifications during gameplay and also kills other background apps to free up RAM. To ramp-up up the media experience, Asus has also included stereo speakers. What’s more, Asus has added three AirTrigger ultrasonic touch sensors along the side of the phone, essentially giving you shoulder triggers when holding the phone in landscape fashion. Every Asus ROG phone comes with an AeroActive Cooler packed inside the box.
