Interested in this phone but not for gaming purpose. Sd845, 4000mah, ip68, front facing speakers, 6in AMOLED, 8gb ram, 128gb storage, and headphone jack... Phone of my dreams. Only thing will be pricing and availability with warranty.
the2great2bob I believe its estimated that max storage to top out at 512gb but storage is set to start at 128 which is enough for me unless there's no micro SD card support and I'm hoping it does support SD cards.
V8Flexin It isn't ip68 he blurted that out because it's mentioned often in reviews he wasn't thinking properly. The display being 90 hz though is definitely worth the drawback it's amoled as well.
Being a Game Developer at heart I am happy to see a gaming style phone trend. Hopefully it booms at affordable costs so we can start seeing better phones especailly for gaming. Phones should be like a Swiss Army knife that can both utilize and multitask software. Let the juggling begin!
He didn’t mention that the phone also features ‘trigger’ buttons when on landscape orientation. Basically the same technology as HTC’s Edge Sense but used for gaming.
I already have my Note 8 ready for sell for this beauty . Does the camera really supports AR too ? Cause it says Augmented Reality on the back but phone specifications doesnt write anything about that .
Looks so amazing. Wouldn't buy something like this just yet tho. I'd wait until heavier apps and games come out over the years to actually make use of it.
You forgot to mention the sensor that the phone has on the right side of the phone, it's similar to HTC squeeze and you can use them as a L and R buttom when you are playing games!
I still didn't get the idea of gaming phone. Snapdragon chip gets updated every year, and the performance is not much greater than other flagship phone, so what's the point of buying a gaming phone?
Solved: Seems obvious it will cost $800-$900 w or without the cooler ending up in box. If even a CENT more the price will drop FAST. So there you go. Hopefully they scrap the cooler in the box & make it a nice upcharge as a change of mind for the phone's audience & more reasonable pricing.
Asus' own website, "Gorilla Glass protects the screen from inadvertent damage, while a water-resistant design protects the body against liquid infiltration" The official ROG trailer also starts with water droplets coming off the phone.
I will most likely be watching youtube on the top screen while browsing forums on the bottom screen most of the time. Hopefully Steamlink will work with it so I can do the 3DS experience with Dragon Quest 11 since they seem to have scrapped that for worldwide release.
This phone seems like a good regular flagship bar the design, honestly... No notch, headphone jack, front facing stereo, beef battery, beef processor, decent display
The phone isn't groundbreaking but that display! Can other manufacturers please get this display. FHD hdr oled 90hz refresh rate and 1 Ms response time. That's the best phone display I've ever seen. Isn't as sharp as the s9 display but is just as color accurate has hdr and has a 90 hz refresh rate. That's literally perfect I'm fine with 1080p, it's fairly bright too. Razer phone is 120hz but is dim and is lcd so it wasn't special.
I hope so, because this is definitely a feature worth copying. I don't know if apple will do it first though because they don't specialize in oled panels. Maybe they'll invest in one because I know they know the value in display's like this after seeing the ipad pro. I want to see either google or apple implement this kind of panel I don't care for samsung even though they are likely to be the first ones to do it.
Was curious on seeing tons of comments saying price and if it will be expensive then people still buying iPhone X for something that is too much overpriced. And hey, I don't even know that so many people didn't know how slow wireless charging is. Type c is still the way to go!
Two USB C and a headphone jack?! I might actually buy this! Most other companies would scrap the headphone jack in that case. As for the RAM and the fan... I might actually need that for playing Pokémon GO.
Looks good but the price will be a huge deciding factor. I'm interested out of all of the main manufacturers, who will come out with the best gaming phone at the best price. I feel the market is at such a point where they will need to get these units out at a price point that may not be the most financially sensible, but in order to get their units in as many hands as possible. Some games consoles in recent times have attempted this purely so that they are the recognisable name in the sector, with a long term goal of dominating the early adopter market.
Love the look of the phone! I'm not a major phone gamer but christ I'm bored of the way phones look at mo. I'd buy it for the top end specs and look. Love the add on options too. Especially the dual screen ds style unit.
What about pubg mobile, fortnite, black desert mobile, call of duty mobile, darkness rises, Retract battle royale, asphalt 9, grid autosport, ark survival evolved, gta 4 etc. These are all high end mobile games which need high end devices to play smoothly.
Thats innovation for a change with no notch.
Tigerex966 correct!
That dual-screen dock looks like the next evolution of the NVIDIA Shield portable.
But can it run crysis?
Stanko Radanov minecraft*
Zimr Multimedia give this man a cookie
I knew that some stupid people ask this question
Zimr Multimedia go we will support you .
Fuck isn't crysis like 4 years old lol
Great coverage, Tom! The back of the phone looks great! Overall, it's a powerhouse!
Looking forward to ur review! :)
It looks pretty neat and different enough to show a company that dare stick out from the crowd. I wouldn't mind giving it a test myself !

V8Flexin I think the storage was 500gb or something idk, also good for PS1 games
the2great2bob I believe its estimated that max storage to top out at 512gb but storage is set to start at 128 which is enough for me unless there's no micro SD card support and I'm hoping it does support SD cards.
They will also have a 512 G version also 😂
You can buy it . It will be definitely lower priced than a icrap
V8Flexin It isn't ip68 he blurted that out because it's mentioned often in reviews he wasn't thinking properly. The display being 90 hz though is definitely worth the drawback it's amoled as well.
The design of this phone is.....uhhhh...what can i say..it is gorgeous.
I will receive June next Tuesday from amazon but still trying to figure out where to buy accessories
i'm just curious. are all the accesories included when you buy the phone?
Being a Game Developer at heart I am happy to see a gaming style phone trend. Hopefully it booms at affordable costs so we can start seeing better phones especailly for gaming. Phones should be like a Swiss Army knife that can both utilize and multitask software.

I thought this does not feature an IP Rating because of all the ports and vents, at least according to HardwareCanucks’ coverage.
He didn’t mention that the phone also features ‘trigger’ buttons when on landscape orientation. Basically the same technology as HTC’s Edge Sense but used for gaming.
this phone had a different design compared to other devices of 2018. that's cool loving it
Playing PUBG on the go with a compact mouse, keyboard and monitor gave me a instant SSD
Western Gents United 😂😂😂
When will it come to the us ?
Yeah, me too... it gave me STD
ocd u mean
"On the go with a mouse keyboard and monitor " LOL
How much is that phone? Plsss answer me iwant it
Dither99 Gaming 69k rs
I already have my Note 8 ready for sell for this beauty . Does the camera really supports AR too ? Cause it says Augmented Reality on the back but phone specifications doesnt write anything about that .
Really like this review 👍🤩😁 this gaming phone looks better than the rest!
Hey nice video. Any news on the price or any speculation?
were can i bay this phone? what country please can attach one link please...thank you
I WANT IT!!!! LOVE THOSE FRONT FACING SPEAKERS AND BIG BATTERY!!! 💙💙💙
Looks so amazing. Wouldn't buy something like this just yet tho. I'd wait until heavier apps and games come out over the years to actually make use of it.
When you get that phone what is the freebies?
This is what the launch of the Essential phone should have been like. Complete!
You forgot to mention the sensor that the phone has on the right side of the phone, it's similar to HTC squeeze and you can use them as a L and R buttom when you are playing games!
Yeah it's odd as he did show that, but said nothing about it.
How much is Asus ROG?
Very tempting. I just want to see what the Razer Phone 2 will bring to the table.
How's the quality of the second screen? Is it also AMOLED?
Guy Hoang Yes to the AMOLED
Heard that it is Amoled and 90hz
Is the back of it plastic or aluminium?
I'm freaking SOLD when I saw the logo GLOWING XD
This is what I have being waiting for 😀
I still didn't get the idea of gaming phone. Snapdragon chip gets updated every year, and the performance is not much greater than other flagship phone, so what's the point of buying a gaming phone?
Lixin Zhang Ask yourself, does it worth buying it as a phone? Proceed from there, thank you very much.
PS1 Emulation
Thats why its called gaming phone. Dont compare phone gaming between console or pc. They are different sector.
Buy a Switch instead, it's great
Try gamecube/PS2 emulation. This is a very powerful system.
Call it a "reverse Switch". Must admit, design, specs and features make the heart pump.
When will it be released??
I want to know is this a 4k screen?
How much is it and where do i buy one in the Philippines
I just want to know the price of this monster and I don't how to find it.... please help me
How much and where I can buy?
Solved: Seems obvious it will cost $800-$900 w or without the cooler ending up in box.
If even a CENT more the price will drop FAST.
So there you go. Hopefully they scrap the cooler in the box & make it a nice upcharge as a change of mind for the phone's audience & more reasonable pricing.
Where you order this?
I'm drooling, which is a definite sign that this will be way more expensive than i could ever afford.
Which cell service does ASUS???
i see 128gb sale on Chinese site is 300$ it's really?
i wonder how about its camera and video test?.. :)
When will this get released?
Will it be on o2?
good video dude
how much and how can i get it
dear i like ur every review bcos u r mentioned detailed spec of product, ur style is remarkable ;). im 277th who like this video. thx
Does it heat crazy?
Does it have a fingerprint scanner ?
Saman Nezami yup
i see a lot of potential in this. reminds me of the xperia play phone almost 10 years ago
Ip68? Really? I thought they didn't mention about it? CMIIW
Aldi Albu this. Where was IP68 confirmed?
It’s not water resistant certified
It's not ip68
It might splash resistant definitely not ip rated
Asus' own website,
"Gorilla Glass protects the screen from inadvertent damage, while a water-resistant design protects the body against liquid infiltration"
The official ROG trailer also starts with water droplets coming off the phone.
What could be the price?
Most people don't talks about stereo vibration during gaming in ROG🤔🤔🤔
I have to say this thing looks cool as hell.
does the phone have led indicator?
Syah Mh LED indicator? Bruh...😏😏😏
I need that device cooler for my Note 7. Great hands-on review.
I Love Speed Tests wait u said note 7? How come you are still alive?🙄🙄🙄
villavan kothai Give this man his well deserved phone cooler lol.
I don't know why any of the carriers won't allow me to trade it in for the Note 8???
sorry iphone....i need to change asus.....
chunfei liew you don’t even have an iphone.
Me 2 i need to change asus
should of switched a long time ago!---Congrats if you switched your no longer a sheep
How much did you buy
400 usd for this master piece of gadget is weel-worth your money!! Im gonna buy it!
Will see what razer phone 2 has to offer, since it looks like ROG isnt coming out till 2019 anyway
Wonder this phone need cases or not?
How much costs the cheaper version (128gb) ?
Enfant Terrible Will still be around 1000$ or even more but well that's normal these days...
Fedja monogatari thanks to your answer very too much expensive for me !! I think I will probably buy the Zenfone 5Z 👍
No it is 26000 New Taiwan Dollars
=893.97$
Allen & Frank It will probably drop in price after a few months.
Fedja monogatari i'm in a hurry so go for the Zenfone 5z hope it will be under 600 € for the 128gb version !!! 😧
Crazy little phone! Love the accessories but can’t help feel it’s a little too much. Great looking but of kit though.
PCTechHub .
My phone burns my hands when playing graphic intense games so I think the copper heat sync and fan is really smart for a gaming phone
I will most likely be watching youtube on the top screen while browsing forums on the bottom screen most of the time. Hopefully Steamlink will work with it so I can do the 3DS experience with Dragon Quest 11 since they seem to have scrapped that for worldwide release.

Mohamed Elmi when apple starts doing 90hz all phones will have it 😂
I hope so, because this is definitely a feature worth copying. I don't know if apple will do it first though because they don't specialize in oled panels. Maybe they'll invest in one because I know they know the value in display's like this after seeing the ipad pro.

Qandik I am owner of razer phone no problem at all very good display no complaints
none talks about the display resolution??
Defenetly yes!! I will buy it, if I have the money to buy it, well now day everything get expensive.
Goddamit I really wanted to know the pricing of this phone. Please inform if there’s any new update about this device, sir. Thank you.
Where can I buy a phone like that
But will it blend
What's the price?
Band frequencies?
Welcome to Taiwan~! Great preview of an insane gaming phone.
Was curious on seeing tons of comments saying price and if it will be expensive then people still buying iPhone X for something that is too much overpriced. And hey, I don't even know that so many people didn't know how slow wireless charging is. Type c is still the way to go!
any one know how to buy it?
Asus really knows how to create amazing products.
I would actually consider buying this phone if it's officially going to be avail6 in Malaysia. I want one.
Two USB C and a headphone jack?! I might actually buy this!
Most other companies would scrap the headphone jack in that case.
As for the RAM and the fan... I might actually need that for playing Pokémon GO.
Tams80 your still playing that finally someone who still plays it (I thought im the only one left)
I'm in Japan. Lots of people still play it.
the asus rog phone is waterproof?
It gonna be around $800 or more???
price is everything.
i was hoping for a larger overclock like 3.4 or something.
Tigerex966 lel the battery is going to be like 10 minutes because high overcloked
arya delphi
It has a mode to switch that off.
PLZ HOW MUCH IS IT
price?
How much is it?
That actually looks sleeker than most of their computers do. I'll have to keep my eye on that.
Price?
Looks good but the price will be a huge deciding factor. I'm interested out of all of the main manufacturers, who will come out with the best gaming phone at the best price.

George Adams the price would)D be around $799
Stop chanting price.. price.. price..it will be definitely less than 3/4 of icraps
George Adams
how to get one
Love the look of the phone! I'm not a major phone gamer but christ I'm bored of the way phones look at mo. I'd buy it for the top end specs and look. Love the add on options too. Especially the dual screen ds style unit.
Finally something different, Asus really understand the "gaming" concept.
I would definitely buy it looks awesome
Whats the point in this when i have a switch
How much is that new asus ROG

All these so that you can play Candy Crush
ccjh0806 i bet you only play child games..
iRon59 lol
Ccjh it's ok that you have a gaming PC. But you should make a visit to play store to see how much they grown in gaming segment
What about pubg mobile, fortnite, black desert mobile, call of duty mobile, darkness rises, Retract battle royale, asphalt 9, grid autosport, ark survival evolved, gta 4 etc. These are all high end mobile games which need high end devices to play smoothly.
Or the old version flappy bird 😂
I REALLY WANT ONE!!!!
i would definitely buy it man it is the phone that everyone would wish for >.< Asus is namba one
How much?
