Asus, which launched the ROG Phone last year as the company’s first gaming smartphone, is now gearing up to launch its successor. The Asus ROG Phone 2 is all set to get launched in China on 23rd July.
Ahead of the phone’s launch, a couple of real-life images of the upcoming gaming smartphone have been leaked online, which sheds light on the type of design we can expect from the device.
The images show that the phone will come with a traditional design without any kind of notch or punch-hole in the display. The front-facing camera on the smartphone is located in the top-right corner.
It also shows that the smartphone can be connected to an external screen but at that time, the user won’t be able to manually adjust the refresh rate and it will be dependent on the frequency of the external screen.
The company has already confirmed that the Asus ROG Phone 2 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, making it the first smartphone to come powered by this updated chipset.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus Mobile Platform comes with Kryo 485 CPU built on Arm Cortex and runs at a clock speed of up to 2.96GHz, higher than the SD855. The Adreno 640 GPU also offers a 15 percent increased performance and the SoC is aimed at gaming smartphones.
The phone’s display will also come with support for 120Hz refresh rate and the company has also partnered with Tencent for enhancing the gaming experience on the device as well as suitable gaming content.
We expect the smartphone to be running Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own custom interface on top. It has already been revealed that the phone will support 30W fast charging but the battery capacity is not yet known.
