We knew Asus was working on a new gaming phone under the Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand, and today the company has announced it officially on the first day of Computex 2018. The ROG Phone, as it’s appropriately named, is powered by an overclocked Snapdragon 845 SoC coupled with 8GB RAM.
Ultrasonic AirTriggers
Asus has designed the phone in a way that it addresses most problems mobile gamers face in day-to-day life. The phone comes with ultrasonic AirTriggers which can be used within games in the landscape mode, so that your index fingers never go to waste while you’re enjoying an intense game of PUBG.
Stereo Haptic
The phone also features an advanced stereo haptic engine which provides detailed force feedback during games. Additionally, in order to prevent the awkward power and headphone cables jutting out into your palm while gaming, the phone also features a USB Type-C port on the right so that you can game while charging without affecting your grip.
HyperCharge Adapter
The device also comes with a HyperCharge adapter which increases the power delivery to the phone up to 20W and lowers charging temperatures of the handset. With the HyperCharge adapter, users will be able to charge the 4,000mAh battery on the ROG Phone up to 60% in only 33 minutes and get to 85% charge in just over an hour.
