As our reviewer put it, the Asus ROG Phone may "look like an irate Decepticon," but outside of its appearance, the device is a powerful phone with lots of extras to attract gamers.It's also a decent phone in its own right, and the comparable Razer Phone 2 has significant advantages.

The beefy chipset of the phone, 8 GB RAM, great speakers, 120hz refresh rate screen and 4,000mAh battery at the end of the day, as well as extensive settings to adjust battery life and performance, make this a great choice for gaming.
