Asus ROG Phone 128 GB

Having barely joined the ranks of a small regiment of gaming smartphones, Asus ROG Phone immediately climbed to the top of Olympus, reliably protecting itself from encroachments on the first step of the podium of the best mobile devices from the category of flagships.

Originality

In the era of identical smartphones, the device managed to stand out from the crowd due to its original appearance. It does not look like absolutely anyone, and at the same time, in the general style of the model, there are obvious features of representatives of the line of gaming products from the Taiwanese brand — Republic of Gamers. Just look at the iridescent multi-coloured RGB logo on the back panel, next to which the ventilation system grilles are adjacent.

Serious Power

The outer shell of the gadget holds the bursting power of the Snapdragon 845 top-end chip overclocked to almost 3 GHz. The smartphone has 8 GB of RAM to turn games of any "severity". The volumes of internal memory are even more striking: 128 GB in the basic version and, attention, 512 GB in the top configuration of Rogophone. Such a powerful "iron" needs good cooling, so as not to lose all its strength under the influence of heat.

Unique "chips"

The cooling system on board the device is represented by a vapor chamber, a copper heat sink and a carbon fiber cooling plate. In the hottest and longest gaming sessions, the external AeroActive Cooler comes to the rescue (with a separate USB-C port and 3.5 mm audio jack), which is connected via a proprietary connector on the left side of the case. On the side opposite from the accessory port, there are ultrasonic triggers built right into the sidewall (they react to pressing in the image and likeness of those of gamepads).

Out of competition

The next item on the list of advantages of the model is a 6-inch FullHD + AMOLED screen (2160x1080 pixels) with a refresh rate of 90 Hz, a response time of 1 ms and support for displaying images in a high dynamic range(HDR technology). Better and more beautiful display at the time of the announcement of the smartphone simply does not exist. The only controversial point in the design of the gadget is the location and narrow shape of the fingerprint scanner, which raises questions about the convenience of groping for it blindly. But you can safely close your eyes to this shortcoming, because in terms of the combination of speed, colorful picture and battery life, along with wide possibilities for expanding functionality through additional accessories, Asus ROG Phone is unrivaled.
