ASUS ROG Phone 2 Review
hi there this is Ritesh and in this blog let's have a Review of Asus rog phone 2 - and in
terms of specs this is the spec monster guys as of now this is the most
powerful Android phone that you can buy and the specs are so insane and to give
you an idea at the list some of the specs this one actually has a 6.59 inch
screen that's an AMOLED screen and it's just not an ordinary screen guys it's
actually a 120 Hertz screen with a touch of fresh of 240 Hertz and other specs
are also insane it has a six thousand milli Amp hour battery megabyte Strega
bytes of RAM and I don't know if they launched a one terabyte storage variant
in India but there is an option of one terabyte of storage this also is powered
by the new Snapdragon 805 plus and it says ROG over here and I am assuming yes
we have the sim ejector tool and we also have the case here this looks like a
different kind of a case that we have in this so let me just so ROG a case that
you are having on this one and it's flexible so moves a little bit and here is
the app phone itself so let's look at this the phone as you can see it says rog
republic of gamers we will set it up anyways later and so here is the phone we
I will give you a physical overview but let's see what else do we get in the
box so this also opens and looks like this is the power brick and this will be
the type C cable they are bundling an 18 watt fast charger guys in the box 9
volt at 2 amps is what this is this one actually supports 30 watt fast charging
that is Qualcomm quick charge for so it does support that let me keep these
things to the side guys and let's look at the and set itself so guys this is
the phone itself and it's having that massive 6.5 9-inch what'd he say screen
and here if you notice we have two dedicated front firing speakers of this
front-facing cameras here I believe it's a 24 megapixel and back if you move we
have a dual camera setup 64 + 13 13 megapixel is that ultra wide this is very
similar to the Asus 6 Z and LED flash and these are the vents for cooling and
if we go on the top actually this is also metallic guys in terms of bed supreme
build quality so this is metallic and if we go over here we have the volume
rockers power on/off button again gives you a very good feel and we also have a
second one more microphone over here it has a hole over here and if you notice
closely over here and here these are known as triggers for gamers you can
customize this one and what do we have the 3.5 mm headphone jack again one more
extra and this might be the what do you say main microphone Type C charging and
I believe this is one more microphone over here so has multiple microphones
noise cancellation should be really good on this and it can open this up and
this exposes a port and this is a special port and you can even charge with
this one and in fact there are a lot of gaming accessories that you can attach
so you also have that so a lot of stuff on this smartphone guys and let me
disturb switch it on its massive it's a specs monster right so this is the boot
up screen that we got let me actually set it up guys and the meantime let me
talk about the specs this asus rog 2 is
having a 6.5 9 inch AMOLED Full HD plus screen it's having 120 Hertz a refresh
rate with 240 Hertz touch it's also HDR 10 panel it is powered by the new
Snapdragon heat 55 + octa-core processor we have the prime core is plugged at
2.9 6 gigahertz it has the ardreno 640 GPU that is also clocked at 700
megahertz 8 gigabyte or 12 gigawatts of rap and the camera it's a dual-rate
Cavanaugh 48 megapixel plus 13 and the front-facing camera is a 24 megapixel it
also has stevia speakers a six thousand milliamp-hour battery which supports 30
watt fast charging so guys now I've set up this device, in fact, it's been almost
two days since I've been actually using this one and as you can see I haven't
even downloaded PUBG on this one and
installed some apps and this is the you get two themes regular and this gaming
theme I have just kept into the gaming theme that's why everything is sort of
black theme that you are getting and guys initial impressions I'm really really
impressed to let this device have tests with tons of Android phones but this is
actually pretty different they don't try to reinvent the well but they have
improving things where it matters the first thing is if you go to the display
over here at default, it is actually set to 60 Hertz that's normal that you find
on every Android phone but here you can set it to 120 Hertz and this camera
will not show you the difference but it is butter smooth 120hetz. when you keep
it 120 and I'm actually just set it to 120 and I'm using it another thing is
that the touch response is very very responsive on this one it's actually
having a 240 Hertz touch response extremely fluid one of the most fluid Android
phones are abused and I mean in performance also no issues it's running on the
snapdragon e8 55 so in that aspect it's really good another small thing that
I've noticed is a huge improvement on this one is the haptic feedback that is
the vibration that you get is very very premium on this it's it just feels that
the vibration is coming from this part I feel they have put it dedicated
vibration motors on this one and another thing that I've noticed is the
speakers on this one at Bonkerz they're one of the loudest that I have seen on
a smartphone for example I don't know the microphone might not be able to catch
it but it's really really loud if I just let me just get this speakers it's
right now really hits you so the best loudest cedar superior speakers
experience that I have experienced on this smartphone and again as it's an ROG
phone again yes pick this a big phone almost 200 device I would say but the weight
balance has been done well I was worried that it will be very awkward to use
yes it's certainly on those heavier side but the weight balance has been done
very well another thing is that you also have this one on the back I've said it
to whenever the phone is screen is on I have kept it to switch it on looks cool
you can disable it if you want or you can set it to only when you're gaming so
this is also there this changes the colors and it's it looks just cool I would
say and it also has this always-on screen option you can actually customize
this for different and it has this end display fingerprint scanner I would say
as you can see and it is actually fast but I wouldn't say it's might be the
faster but again pretty fast as you can see so that is also actually good and
yes it's based off a phone by the way guys this is the base 2 variant this is
with 8 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage there also be one more
variant that will come with 12 bytes of RAM but that will have 512 gigabytes of
storage I don't know the pricing guys because I'm shooting this video before
the launch I just don't know the what might be the pricing because the ROG one
was launched in India for 70,000 rupees when I asked Asus team about this one
they said that this time there will be way more aggressive so I don't know what
is that aggressive that is 15,000 45,000 40,000 but if they can price it
aggressively this is one moving to the back as you can see we have a dual
camera setup and this camera is actually very similar to what we find on the
asus eggsy it's a 48 megapixel and a 13 megapixel wide-angle lens but the
front-facing is a bump up it's a fixed front-facing camera here and this is a
24 megapixel so let's just fire up the camera interface and as you can see if
we have this this is a regular and if you click this this is the right angle so
you can easily switch between them and again you have the regular stuff like
portrait mode and all those things as you can see you can just go here click on
it and again as you notice everything is super fast on this phone again no hint
of lag or anything and this is the front-facing camera and you also have the
portrait mode on this one let me do one thing guys let me actually show you
some of the sample shots with this smartphone so here are some of the sample
shots that I've taken with this smartphone again as you can see even an
artificial lighting conditions the camera performance is actually really good
so again this is not a camera centric smartphone but I feel the cameras are
also actually pretty good and even the front-facing camera I was surprised that
the front-facing camera performance is also good even with the portrait mode as
you can see it does a good job so guys that was regarding the camera and one thing
I completely forgot again this is a gaming centric smartphone so yes I did
installed pop G on this one and it ran without any issues you also have some
options where you can customize what you want your triggers and all those
things so that all about this ROG phone to do let me know in the comment
section below and this is Ritesh on how
to see you in my next blog take care guys.
