Thanks to the rapidly growing craze of mobile gaming across the world, mostly driven by PUBG Mobile, phone makers are now rushing to milk this opportunity. Yes, we’re talking about gaming smartphones, which is now a fledgling niche, and the influx of new phones sure is crazy.
ROG Phone 2: Specs and Features
Asus has played it safe on the design front and carried forward the same metal and glass build of its predecessor to ROG Phone 2. This device does away with some of your clutter and sharp design elements (especially the physical fingerprint sensor) on the rear. It has moved the physical fingerprint sensor under the screen and optimally designed the phone for improved grip and comfort while playing games.
The gaming features are still intact here. The Game Center has been renamed to Armory Crate and shows you everything from RAM, CPU usage to device temperature and control fan accessory. You also get to control the light-up ROG logo onboard from within this app. Asus has also introduced Air Triggers 2 with the second-gen ROG Phone 2. They’re placed more on the edges and have improved vibration latency as compared to the predecessor.
