Asus The company that make the system am using is starting off Computex 2018
on a high-spec note with the announcement of its
ROG Phone.
Bearing the Republic of Gamers branding and an unmistakably
gamer-oriented design, this particular ROG Phone is Asus’ answer to the Razer Phone.
This is the second phone after Razer’s, there 2017 phone to offer a 90Hz
display — meaning its
screen refreshes 90 times per second,This is the First phonr company to that,
delivering smoother animations — and Asus
throws in the added bit of gamer pride by powering each ROG Phone with
a specially selected 2.96GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip. Yes, these will
definitely be the fastest Snapdragons around.
I got to see engineering samples of the ROG Phone for myself through a friend , and
I walked away feeling more impressed by the actual hardware than I expected, though
the premise of an Android smartphone for hardcore gamers still feels
like it’s off the mark.
Android doesn’t have any games demanding enough
to tax the regular Snapdragon 845, never mind an overclocked variant with
vapor cooling and a special attachable fan accessory, which
is what the ROG Phone offers. What I see in this device is a bizarre
transplantation of the traditional PC gamer’s aesthetic and performance
priorities into the mobile realm. Even as I question who this device might
be for, I am also deeply intrigued ,this is powerful more than samsung and iphonex
by its design, customizations, and deluge of gaming-centric attachments.
You’ll find the full set of ROG Phone specs in the sidebar, and they’re predictably
maxed out. Nobody has offered a phone with more than 8GB of RAM, no one has a faster
Snapdragon inside their phone, and other than the Porsche Design variant of the
Huawei P20 Pro, I know of no other phone with a 512GB storage option.
Asus ticks the “best-specced Android phone ever” box.
To activate the maximum performance of its speed-binned chips, Asus lets you switch
into “X Mode” by squeezing the sides of the phone. The squeeze works exactly as
it does in HTC’s Edge Sense system, with a red glow showing up at the sides
where you apply pressure. Once you give it a strong squeeze, the phone’s entire
UI skin transforms from a cool blue to a deep and ominous red. X Mode is more
than mere cosmetics, though, as it automatically optimizes performance for gaming
by shutting down background processes and prioritizing whatever you’re playing for
both RAM allocation and data transfer precedence. X Mode also controls the AeroActive
Cooler, which is what Asus calls the additional fan accessory it offers for this phone.
Asus goes an extra step with its phone-edge interactions by giving players
two so-called AirTriggers, residing in the spots of the usual shoulder buttons
on game controllers. These are user-programmable and should help keep
the screen clear of controls while gaming.
