Asus ROG Phone II (2019)

Beautiful 120Hz AMOLED screen ; Long-lasting 6,000mAh battery ; Incredible processor performance ; Wide range of accessories ; Brilliant for games

The Asus ROG Phone 2 certainly isn't a beauty, but it performs like a beast

Exquisitely crafted and uniquely designed. Excellent materials and build quality. Unique and surprisingly stealthy gaming look.

Very tall and heavy
