Review Asus ROG Phone II

Introduction to the device:

Asus has not only distinguished the ROG name in the world of mobile gaming devices, but also

 seeks to spread it in the smartphone market, providing the new device with everything necessary to be the best gaming phone to date, starting with the updated processor and the screen HF, not With a huge battery and great support for peripherals that enrich the gaming 

experience and make it more fun and professional.

• the design:

We can say that Asus has pushed all aspects of its smartphone to its limits, and this also applies to the design and dimensions of the device. The phone is 9.78 mm thick and weighs 240 grams, and is therefore the heaviest smartphone currently on the market - if we neglect the devices that come with very large batteries.

The weight of the device will not be a big problem for many users due to the ease and convenience of carrying provided by its curved rear edges, but it can be a bit cumbersome when used for long hours.

The overall design of the ROG Phone II is as amazing as the first release, the company has maintained the same style with further improvements. The phone's body is not only larger, but you'll also find two flash lights instead of one on the back of the phone, to the left of an improved wide-angle camera, and the capacitive fingerprint reader moved to the front to settle down the screen.

The sixth generation of Gorilla Glass looks amazing especially when the light falls at a certain angle, forming glossy lines that move along the device as well as the coloring of the lines in rainbow colors.

The company encloses a strange plastic cover inside the box to protect the phone from falling or accidental shocks, and also prevents fingerprints smudges that go luster back glass. At the same time, the plastic cover has several openings that mimic the rear design to prevent the basic design lines from being covered.

The company maintained the wide front bezels in the design of the screen, and invested them to include two front speakers to add more immersive pleasure to the gaming experience. Many players prefer the wide bezels as they give more control while holding the phone and minimize accidental touches to the screen.

• the screen:

ROG Phone II comes with the world's first AMOLED display that supports HDR and a 120Hz refresh rate for smartphones. The screen has an impressive response rate of 1ms, and while it is very difficult to communicate the meaning of these numbers through videos or images, it really gives you one of the most fluid and fluid user experiences.

The 6.59-inch FHD display is not only the clearest and most accurate display but is more than great for gaming.This screen is more energy efficient than QHD and maintains a high frame rate. But if you are looking for the most beautiful and most accurate and clear screens, this is certainly not desired.

• the performance:

The Rog Phone II has the fastest processor ever used in Android, so the new Snapdragon 855+ is the second stage of pushing the phone to its limits.It delivers a 4% increase in processor speed (2.96GHz instead of 2.84GHz in the processor). SD 855 normal), and more importantly, a 15% increase in the speed of the graphics processor (675MB as stated by Asus).

The phone comes with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. The device uses the new generation UFS 3.0 storage like the OnePlus 7 Pro, which increases the speed of reading and writing and load games by 15% compared to other leading devices such as Galaxy S10.

To keep the device operating at its maximum, Asus has designed a multi-layer cooling system that includes a Vapor Chamber, a heat sink and some air vents, as well as a second generation AeroActive Coller II cooling fan.

  The cooling fan connects to the outlet on the side of the appliance to push the air toward the appliance body. Asus said it has improved the cooling fan to reduce the temperature up to 5 degrees Celsius (compared with 4-4.5 for the previous generation), and also reduced its noise 4 times.

• Software:

The phone comes with a user interface Rog UI above the operating system Android 9.0 Pie. You will immediately notice improvements that the company has added to the user interface, and for normal use, the company allows you to use the regular user interface Zen UI 6.0.

The gaming app lets you browse and play your favorite games on the device in a new and elegant way and control the logo lights back, and you can temporarily disable the response of the corners of the screen to avoid accidental touches, and most importantly, manually control the processor speed.

 The X mode is back with the ROG Phone II, which offers you more than just the visual effects on the screen and the rear logo, enabling you to increase processor frequency and block out apps that consume greedy RAM.

• the battery:

The company invested well in the size of the phone ROG Phone II large, providing it with a huge battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh has never been seen like among the leading phones. A battery of this size is enough for three days if it's in a regular flagship phone, but don't forget that the high screen refresh rate, additional processor speed, and cooling fan draw a lot of power.

The company comes with a fast charger of 25 watts in the box, in fact it is 30 watts, but 5 watts is dedicated to charging the ends of the phone.

• Rear cameras:

We can not say that the cameras will be a major selling point in this device, but can be classified as belonging to the middle class and convergence in the performance of the camera phone Zenfone 6. The camera system consists of a main camera with a 48-megapixel camera and a wide-angle 13-megapixel.

While the quality of images in good conditions is similar to those taken by the flagship phones, you will not get images up to the level offered by those phones such as Galaxy S10, and the company has improved HDR + technology but can not be compared to other leading devices.

The camera has a dedicated night shooting mode, as well as the ability to shoot slow and shoot video in 4K, in short it is a very good camera for a phone dedicated to games.

• Additional features:

Asus has taken a keen interest in the details that make its new ROG Phone II a gaming phone in every sense of the word, taking into account the prolonged use of the phone in Landscape mode and added a second USB-C port to charge the phone while playing games, and improved the capacitive touch buttons on the The edges of the device become faster and more precise, adding touch and drag capability to execute different commands.

The lower edges are also sensitive to pressure, so you can use your palm to press them to execute commands such as X Mode or other commands.
