when the phone has less features everybody seems to complain why can it have this and that, but when a company decides to put almost everything in one phone, they think it's overkill 😂
I'd say it's a *really* nice phone even if you don't do any gaming, just because of this incredible battery and of course the other specs. What do you think?
This phone is my fucking dream phone. I just wish it had a better monthly plan, or collaborate with mobile companies so the monthly plan would be better. Because this phone is gonna kill my wallet xD.
My next phone, I will highly consider the Kunai and the Dock for TV broadcasting, but overall this phone is great even if you don't play, just using it for Maps in your car, browsing, TH-cam, this thing will last all day and you'll never have to worry. My only issue is if it will update it's Android version for 2 years

Got it last night used it for 2 hours and returned it in the box, the screen resolution is really terrible "coming from note8" Yeah it's smooth and all but damn it got me so disappointed.
@@BlueBird-wb6kb you realize that I already have the phone and I'm talking from experience right? Been using flagships for years I'm sure ik what "fine" is bro ;)
is he not gonna mention that the phone doesn't have VOLTE enabled for the US version? that has been a huge concern for all US peeps after its launch considering T mobile and verizon don't support it apparently.
Wouldn't matter if it were enabled(the Chinese/international version do have VoLTE enabled and also cannot do it in the U.S). The providers here won't allow it on VoLTE because Asus didn't pay them money for the certification yet(if they ever will, dunno)
Yes if you buy it now and then you se the phone maybe 100dollars cheaper on Black Friday you’ll get mad trust me I’ve done that wait and see if it does get cheaper.

@@Belikeimpasta No i haven't. Do you mean the red filter from the settings that you can put in a dark enviroment for resting the eyes maybe? Because otherwise i have not experienced red tint.
@@rixsta911 hello, would you say that asus rog2 software update would be good in the future? Will this phone get continuous update for 5 years or more? Please tell us your opinion on Asus company regarding their phones
Does Twinview Doc allow 2 seperate youtube or Google Playstore accounts to be used simultaneously, with one account on one screen, while the other account is on the second screen?
We got full controller support now so no more need for gamepad. 😍 That does suck tho dude. What do u think about the phone in general? Does it run as good as reviewers say? Im ready to buy one but I really wana hear from someone who isn't a reviewer on how it is
Overkill is good. It means future proofing. Shelling out this much cash for a phone it better last. As far as camera goes, gcam works on it which brings it closer to other flagships.
Hello there, i like to ask some questions. What is the average SOT do you get from the rog phone2? Any red tint issue when the brightness at 30% and below? Will you recommend the rogphone 2 or zenfone 6 or lg v50? I will be keeping the phone for 3+ years. I care more about hardware and preformace than software.
hey pal, thanks for the video i bought the phone and i am hesitating to buy the docking station in order to use it as a computer as well, including plugging a web cam and so forth. do you think it is capable of it?
I have a quick question. When I click the link in the description the specs are 128 GB of storage and 8 gb of ram. Why does it say that when it should be 12 gbs of ram.
They almost always ask the reviewers to send them back. Very rarely are they allowed to keep them. They do offer an option to buy it at a discount some times. And even more rare, they allow them to do a giveaway. I got a friend who does reviews. Guys got it made bro
why can't i find the rog kunai gamepad online for sale anywhere ? all i can find are cheap alternatives that ain't worth it. i am a switch owner and this phones kunai gamepad looks very similar. any help locating the real kunai gamepad or more accessories like the twin view, wich is also hard to locate would be great..... thanks
It is very close in many ways but WAY CHEAPER (unless you can buy the 550$ tencent edition rog phone 2 in your country) but it doesn't have the dope accessories. It also doesn't need a 2nd attachment for cooling because it has a fan in the phone and handles cooling waay better. What about this phone (rog 2) do you think is something you NEED on another phone or else you wont choose it (so I can answer)? also the 3s has a 5k mAH battery which is 1k less but still really good
Same here. I have it pulled up and ready to order but I'd love to talk to someone who wasn't a TH-camr/reviewer and hear their thoughts on how good this phone is. I'm in the US and it will work with my phone service. I just dont know about spending 1k on a phone
@@Kovye went with the ROG Phone 2 and it's way worth it. Honestly it's the best phone I've ever had by far. And not just from a gaming perspective. Although the gaming aspect is mind blowing. But as an ever day phone it has so many amazing features. Stuff I never knew I'd wanted or needed. And the speed of the phone is unlike anything I've ever seen. The air triggers for gaming work flawlessly. Instant response time. The game genie is great if u take gaming seriously. I could go on for days man. I've never been happier with a purchase. I ended up getting a case off Amazon. It's clear and has raised corners. The case selection overall is limited cause the phone is so new but I found a good one. Only bad thing is u can't use the fan at the same time but not that big of deal. I read bad reviews on the one Asus sells, plus it's $60. The one I got was $9 and works great. Hope this helps. If ur on the fence I say go for it if u got the money. Oh last thing, I have Cricket wireless as a provider and get service everywhere. I haven't had a single issue with calls. And I just made a trip to see family for Christmas. I drove from the northern part of SC to the northern part of MI and didn't lose service at all
It's funny to see the Pixel's 4 made a lot of noise and finally disappoints so much, and surprisingly this ROG Phone 2 was so quiet and yet is really impressive ! Sounds like Google focused on is "Soli" feature and forget about the rest. A flagship with either 2800mah or 3700 mah is a joke in coming 2020. Either way, when this ROG 2 will get Android 10 it's gonna be a killer phone. Thanks for your review, wasn't expected to be so hyped about Asus making a phone :)
They both are pretty good. If you’re looking for amazing software, go with the 7t. If you’re looking for outstanding hardware,go with rog2. Hardware and software go hand and hand, but I see better software in 7t and better hardware in rog 2. Also, if you want a 120hz screen and better storage, go with Rog 2. Either way, both are extremely good! Edit: sorry forgot to add this, 7t has better camera
@@pooyourpants Dilemma isnt it. Haha. is it a very big gap for 90hz & 120hz? software is much more important right compare to the hardware? im not good with tech stuff so im learning. ~~~
@@derrickjayden9700 It is noticeable but it isn't everything in the world. Software and hardware are equally important but if one is too bad it can bottleneck the other (like if software is laggy and never works, your beastly hardware won't be able to preform well) but the rog 2 is running stock andriod so it won't bottleneck the hardware, but ONEPLUS ui is just much better.
@@Mark-xw5yt i see. i kinda get the picture now. thank you. so for smoother ui performance will be oneplus. for better gaming performance will be rog2.
What bugs the shit out of me is that the rog software is allowed to map and use the rog kunai bluetooth controller when Activision pulled the controller support on official launch. So because Asus made a deal with tencent, only the rog phone 2 can use a controller (officially)? Kind of a middle finger to everyone else. 😒
How could I transfer my contacts, pictures, videos, and information over from my iPhone to this beast of a phone? Do I move the SIM card from iPhone to rog2?
I was seriously in the market for this but I cannot find the accessories anywhere. So tired of all the youtubers getting these for free in the mail and asus hasn’t even released most of these accessories yet. By the time they do, there will be a new chipset and the rog 2 isn’t even going to be a “beast” anymore
What mobile game have you played most recently? 🤔 (I've put a good few hours into COD mobile!)

Hands down, one of the best reviews on the ROG phone 2 on TH-cam. Concise and covers the important aspects without being "draggy"

7:05 That fan will not be needed for the next six months here in Sweden 🇸🇪🥶 It's not exactly California here...
Gaming aesthetics aside, it's a beast of a phone with no compromise.
The only cons that I see are the underwhelming camera but that's it IMO.
Owen Victor, to me, not really a con, if you buy a GAMING phone, you probably wouldn’t use it a lot for a camera.
