Meet the Asus ROG phone.
ROG stands for Republic of Gamers.
A lot of people don't realize the Republic of Gamers is a small-nation state just north of Easter Island.
I hear the cuisine is excellent.
If you can't tell from the angular lines, exposed copper heat sinks and pulsating light-up logo, the ROG Phone is designed for mobile game playing.
Well I can't say the looks are my cup of tea.
It's nice to see a phone try something different.
Even with all of the gamer bling, the Rog Phone is incredibly comfortable to hold, especially when gaming in landscape.

But that port on the side also support accessory.
Like a detachable fan called the arrow active cooler, now it might seem a bit silly to attach a fan to the back of your phone.
But it makes so much difference with performance.
The arrow active cooler allows the processor to run at a high Higher clock you can actually see the temperature on the phone drop when you turn it on.
Look, every millimeter of this ASUS ROG phone has been thoughtfully designed for gaming and media consumption.
For example the speakers are very loud and sound fantastic.
