Asus took the wraps off its ROG Phone at Computex in
June, and since then all we've seen about it were some rumors. Today the
company finally unveiled the gaming device's pricing. It will start at US$ 899 in
the US, with 128GB of internal storage. If you want the model with 512GB,
you'll have to shell out US$ 1,099.
The ROG Mobile Desktop Dock costs US$ 229.99, the ROG
TwinView Dock is priced at US$ 399.99, the ROG Gamevice Controller will go for US$ 89.99, the ROG WiGig Dock will set you back US$ 329.99, the ROG Professional Dock
is US$ 119.99, and finally the ROG Phone Case is going to cost US$ 59.99.
the ROG Phone will go up for pre-order in the US on
October 18, as previously hinted at by Asus. There still isn't a release date
to talk about, but at least you know how much time you've got to gather the
cash for your pre-order.
The Asus ROG Phone is the latest in a string of
gaming-oriented smartphones. It comes with a specially speed binned Snapdragon
845, 8GB of RAM, UFS 2.1 storage, and a 6-inch AMOLED touchscreen with 90Hz
refresh rate and 1ms pixel response time.
The display has 1080x2160 resolution and 18:9 aspect
ratio. It covers 108.6% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The ROG Phone has a special
ROG gaming UI on top of Android, a 12 MP + 8 MP dual camera system, an 8 MP
selfie snapper, and a 4,000 mAh battery.
The logo at the back has RGB illumination (because
gamers just can't live without that), and the rear of the phone is made out of
Gorilla Glass.
