The phone’s display has a 90Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time to make your visuals smooth and fluid. The device also features air triggers, which sort of work like the R1 and L1 buttons on a regular controller by using ultrasonic sensors.

What also makes the ROG Gaming Phone special is that that it uses a Vapor-Chamber cooling system that the device is able to run in its most optional condition even in long hours of gaming. You can also attach a AeroActive Cooler that boosts cooling even further by acting as a sort of vent.

It’s got a 4,000mAh battery which delivers up to 7 hours of game time over WiFi, and ASUS’ Hypercharge Technology which charges the device to 60% in just 33 minutes.

There’s also a Mobile Desktop Dock, and a Gamevice and WiGig Dock that turns the phone into a controller.

On the software side, the ROG Phone has X Mode, which not only optimizes the device for maximum performance, but also lets you game without being interrupted by notifications.
