Asus has just announced the ROG Phone, a beast of a device when it comes to specifications and raw performance. But what makes this phone really special is the array of accessories that Asus has unveiled alongside, which address the most common issues faced by mobile gamers.
TwinView Dock
The WiGig dock is another different approach to achieving a secondary screen which makes use of low-latency 802.11ad 60GHz WiFi to broadcast the phone’s display to a compatible screen. The dock is perfect for when you want to enjoy your content on a bigger screen, but don’t want to deal with the lag which comes as a result of broadcasting over an internet connection.
A third-party controller, developed in partnership with GameVice, will allow ROG Phone users to convert their device into a handheld console, complete with traditional gamepad joysticks and buttons. The console-like experience can be further amplified by pairing it with the WiGig dock and displaying the content on a bigger screen, while you play the game using the controller.
In addition, Asus has also packed in an upgraded cooling solution which according to the company will “help sustain peak gaming performance”. If you still feel that the phone might get too hot during your long gaming sessions, the ROG Phone also comes with an AeroActive Cooler which clips onto the back and blows air over the phone to keep it cool.
