#ROG Phone 2 hands-on review

ASUS ROG has finally launched the ROG Phone 2, the successor to its last year's gaming smartphone, the ROG Phone. At the front, the ROG Phone 2 has a less aggressive top and bottom orange-colored accents that houses the stereo speakers. At the back, you'll see a much cooler cybernetic design as compared to the first ROG Phone's claw-like layout. Overall, the ROG Phone 2 looks more premium and more aesthetically pleasing so props to ROG for that. I like that ROG maintained the earphone port given that this flagship smartphone is dedicated for gaming purposes. On the left is another port meant for ROG's HyperCharge technology which can be found on the first ROG Phone as well. The ROG Phone 2 is also equipped with an in-display fingerprint scanner, allowing the device to have an up to date biometric security. Powering the ROG Phone 2 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ which has a faster clock speed than the regular SD855, 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage.
