Asus ROG Phone review

 

Asus has never really been a run-of-the-mill player on the smartphone scene. Sure, the Taiwanese company's lineup has been including more and more...

Unique look and amazing build quality.

The gaming hardware aesthetics may not be to everyone's taste.

Smartphones have become Jacks of all trades and it's hard to score their features in isolation. But as far as the "gaming" metric is concerned, nothing out there is currently at the level of the ROG Phone. It really does set a bar for what can be...

Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Review

 

Fast throughput speeds in our tests ; Support for Wi-Fi 6E ; Three multi-gigabit ports ; Comes with network-security and parental-control software ; Can be expanded into a mesh system with additional units ; Gamer-friendly settings

Very expensive ; Huge footprint ; Middling file transfer and 5GHz signal range performance

The Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is a hard-to-justify $700, but this Wi-Fi gaming router delivers all the tasty goods: excellent throughput performance, 10Gbps wired Ethernet connectivity, and support for Wi-Fi 6E.

Asus ROG Phone

 

Thanks to an overclocked processor and a big, responsive display, the Asus ROG is an excellent Android phone for gamers.

Overclocked Snapdragon 845 processor delivers solid performance. Gorgeous 90Hz AMOLED display for immersive gaming experience.

Poor battery life. Divisive design. Awkward fingerprint sensor placement.

If you're in the market for a gaming phone, the Asus ROG Phone is the one to get, with the best balance of hardware and features for hardcore mobile gamers. For casual gamers, however, the phone may be overkill. The OnePlus6T has excellent specs for...

Asus' new phone is the best way to play games on Android

 

Thanks to its thoughtful design innovations, the Asus ROG Phone almost feels like a portable console.

The Asus ROG Phone has innovative AirTriggers to expand game control beyond the screen, excellent battery life and a ton of optional gaming accessories.

It costs $100 more than the Razer Phone 2 and the design might be too out there for some. The screen was too dim in some situations and the detachable fan unit is just asking to be lost.

Let there be no doubt: this is a serious gaming phone. Nongamers should look at the Pixel 3, OnePlus 6 or Galaxy Note 9 instead.

Asus ROG Phone review: Too much gamer in one phone

 

In the growing space of 'gaming phones' the ASUS ROG Phone misses the mark.

Beautiful 90Hz AMOLED screen ; Fast and smooth hardware ; All the ports you could ever need and more!

The gamer aesthetic is laid on too thick inside and out ; Uncomfortable to hold in daily use ; The software is an eyesore

When the ROG Phone was announced I was excited. Being a gamer means I can appreciate silly things like RGB logos and active cooling—even on my phone. When improvements like front-firing speakers and high-refresh-rate screens improve daily use as well...

ASUS ROG Phone Smartphone Review

 

Let's ROG Stop Zen! After years of calm, ASUS has blown the mobile gaming world open with its first smartphone. The ROG Phone has more up its sleeve than a fast processor, plenty of RAM and energetic marketing material. ASUS has integrated trigger...

Trigger buttons in the frame ; Dock connector ; Cooler (included) ; Snapdragon 845 ; 8GB RAM ; USB 3.1 Type-C ; Dual-SIM ; front-firing stereo speakers ; dual camera ; Aura RGB logo ; bright display ; Gorilla Glass 6 ; Qualcomm QuickCharge 4.0 ; decent...

slow Wi-Fi ; short battery life ; non-expandable storage ; no VoLTE ; comparatively low display resolution ; heavy ; expensive

ASUS has set new standards with its ROG Phone, although the first generation has room for improvement. The company has gone all out with the ROG Phone’s gaming accessories, which are rather expensive. Moreover, its 90 Hz display is ideal for gaming,...

Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro review: the gamer goes mainstream!

 

The Asus ROG Phone 8 series just dropped and we already have our hands on the ROG Phone 8 Pro Edition! It's time to run it through the ringer — benchmarks, camera tests, and real life use.

New design, thin bezels, IP68 ; Speakers are loud and meaty (but not as good as before) ; Fast and buttery performance ; Headphone jack ; Gaming buttons, the fan helps ; Long battery endurance, fast to charge

Speakers are no longer front-firing ; Gripping the device for gaming is a bit less comfy (lack of bezels) ; The camera is OK, but not as great as the big bump suggests ; Two years of software updates

Asus ROG Phone Review

 

We spent some quality time with the ROG Phone to see if Asus could properly marry its gaming traditions with its smartphone strengths to make the best gaming phone yet.

Great gaming performance and experience ; Cooling fan included and does its job well ; Camera performance that doesn’t compromise and competes well at this price-point ; Cool design that’s both fun and serious ; Offers a bunch of fun and useful...

Air Triggers, while responsive, are ergonomically hard to utilize ; Most accessories are quite expensive ; Low-light photos can get a bit noisy

ASUS ROG Phone Review: Gamer’s delight despite a few caveats

 

Ever since the inception of mobile phones, gaming has always been an integral part of it. Be it Nokia 1100 or the recently launched ASUS ROG phone. While the term ‘Mobile Gaming' wasn't taken very seriously a few years back, titles like Angry Birds,...
