high-performance gaming phone

The ASUS ROG Phone series has long been a staple in mobile gaming since 2018, and the latest iteration, the ROG Phone 9 Pro, aims to elevate the new direction they went with last year.  To recap, a much more understated gamer-esque design language, packed with the latest hardware, refined cooling solutions, and an improved camera system. But is it still the undisputed king of gaming smartphones with this year's version?  Find out in this review. The Armoury Crate is the central app for both ROG computers and smartphones, where users get all access to gaming-oriented features. Game Genie is the ROG Phone’s game overlay which provides users with real-time hardware info and useful quick access tools intended to improve the mobile gaming experience.    In terms of software support, ASUS has promised two major Android upgrades, which does seem like a letdown for software longevity. While the camera performance and the phone’s weight might not appeal to everyone, its gaming prowess is unmatched. Ayaneo, best known for its sleek handheld gaming consoles and mini PCs, is leveling up this time into the smartphone arena. While the teaser doesn’t spill much about specs or design, the brand hints that the phone is “born from the pure love of gaming and the pursuit of dreams.” Of course, Ayaneo is stepping into a battlefield already ruled by names like ASUS ROG and RedMagic.
