ROG Phone 2 announced: 120Hz AMOLED, Snapdragon 855 Plus, and a 6,000mAh battery
Tuesday, July 23, 2019
If you thought Asus’ original gamer-centric ROG Phone was a one-and-done deal, think again. Today, the company officially took the wraps off of the ROG Phone 2, which gives a new definition to the word “overkill.”
The ROG Phone 2 is the first Android phone to feature a 120Hz AMOLED panel, which stretches to 6.59 inches on the diagonal. The higher refresh rate allows for incredibly smooth animations in theory, but it can be a battery hog. That’s where the gigantic 6,000mAh battery comes in, with support for 30-watt quick charging for fast top-ups.
The ROG Phone 2 also features a 24MP selfie camera and dual rear camera system. The dual cameras are a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor and a secondary 13MP sensor for ultra wide-angle shots. You won’t find the Zenfone 6’s crazy flip camera system, but the ROG Phone 2’s cameras, on paper, still appear promising.
However, it’s the internals that take this phone to overkill territory. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus makes its debut on the ROG Phone 2, with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.0 storage thrown in for good measure. The 3D vapor chamber cooling system helps filter out the heat generated by the processor, although an external active cooler is also included with the phone.

Tomorrow's top smartphone? That'll probably be a 5G phone, like the Galaxy S10 5G, and then, eventually, a foldable phone with 5G, starting with the Huawei Mate X and Samsung Galaxy Fold. But foldable phones are unproven and 5G in the US isn't in enough cities around the country to recommend. Our list will remain practical.
Our pick for best phone isn't just crowning the newest iPhone and calling it a day, though our list does have a lot of familiar names: Apple, Samsung, Google, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and LG, all in the top 15. Newer companies in the US like Huawei and OnePlus make the list, too, though their limited availability is noted.
