ASUS, the Taiwanese company is one of the first smartphone makers to launch a gaming smartphone and so far, it has launched a couple of devices in the ROG Phone lineup.
Now, a new report coming from China claims that the company is expected to ship less than 400,000 units of its second-generation gaming smartphone — ASUS ROG Phone II in the year 2019.
The main reason behind falling short of shipping 400,000 units of the gaming smartphone is touted to be the shortfall in components supply and not-so-smooth production planning at the company’s production facility in China.
However, according to the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), Asustek Computer has been appraised as the most valuable Taiwan-based global brand in 2019 for the seventh consecutive year.
Coming to the ASUS ROG Phone II, the smartphone flaunts a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit HDR, Gorilla Glass 6 protection, 1ms response time, a 49ms touch latency, and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz.
It comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor, has stereo front-facing speakers with DTS:X 7.1 surround sound, and an NXP 9874 Smart Amplifier. It is the first smartphone to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset and comes packed with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage.
