First announced at the Computex earlier this year, the ASUS ROG phone is Asus’s response to Razer’s first attempt at gaming phones and features a 90Hz display along with a 2.96GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. And aside from the 90HZ display, the device also some dedicated gaming features including an “AirTrigger” side buttons, attachable side controllers, TwinView dock and cooling fan.
With those special gaming features and a beefy specs sheet, the ASUS ROG phone doesn’t come cheap. ASUS is charging a whopping $900 for the variant with 128GB of storage and $1,100 for the variant with 512GB in the US, and that should convert to about INR 64000.
