For enthusiasts, a ‘gaming’ smartphone may appear to be a highly exciting idea, but how can a maker persuade the typical smartphone buyer to feel the same way? Last year, Asus released the original ROG Phone (Review), and while it was a good gadget, the expensive price of roughly Rs. 70,000 meant that you had to be a die-hard gamer to consider it over an iPhone, Google Pixel, or Samsung Galaxy handset. With the ROG Phone 2, Asus intends to change all of that.

Asus ROG Phone 2 Summary

The Asus ROG Phone 2 retains the same industrial design as the original, although it’s a little more subdued this time. The phone is bigger and heavier than its predecessor, measuring 9.48mm and weighing 240g, making it one of the heaviest phones we’ve held in a long time. Face recognition is much faster and also works at strange angles.

The 6.59-inch AMOLED display has a full-HD+ resolution, but it also boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, which is amazing. The second generation of Asus’s AirTrigger mechanism is also included in the ROG Phone 2. There’s also a new dual vibration system. The phone is additionally cooled by a 3D vapour chamber system.

It has a Snapdragon 855+ SoC with a unique speed-binned processor, LPDDR4X RAM, and UFS 3.0 storage. Instead of the default ROG theme, you can choose a more vanilla Android theme for the ROG Phone 2 during the setup process.

Instead of the default ROG theme, you can choose a more vanilla Android theme for the ROG Phone 2 during the setup process. Multitasking is handled effectively, and apps load swiftly. Of course, gaming is the main attraction of this phone, and it is without a doubt one of the greatest — if not the best — devices for it. In addition, Game Genie allows you to set a real-time overlay in games to monitor framerate, system temperature, and CPU and GPU utilization.

The battery life is also outstanding, and not simply because of the large 6,000mAh capacity. We comfortably went over one full day on a single charge, even with the screen running at 120Hz and a lot of camera, gaming, and social activity.

The ROG Phone 2’s rear sensors are identical to those found in the Asus 6Z. The app’s Day mode performs admirably during the day, while the app’s Night mode does a fair job of brightening up the picture in low light, though not as well as some of the more costly flagships.
