Asus ROG Phone hands-on review: Razer phone 2.0

The Asus ROG Phone is here - exploding the smartphone and putting it back together with gaming at its RGB lit heart. This phone packs a 6-inch AMOLED screen clocking in at 2K resolution. Speaking of clocking, the Snapdragon 845 is overclocked, meaning that not only is this phone powerful, it's the most powerful smartphone on the market - according to Asus. It also features not one, but two USB-C ports, one for regular charging, the other for accessories and for charging it while playing in portrait orientation.

With 8GB Ram and up to 512GB internal storage, this thing is going to be a demon, burning through all your games and giving you tons of room to store them, but it shouldn't get too hot thanks to a couple of cooling measures. For starters, the ROG Phone ships with a cooling mechanism in the box. It's also got a 3D vapour chamber inside and, the charger sports a smart temperature managed charging system.
