ISSUE 67 • ANDROID ADVISOR 67REVIEWthe ZenFone’s strong camera with over-the-top
specifications and a wealth of gaming add-ons this
is one of the few gaming phones that doesn’t ask
you to compromise on other elements.
Although you can opt for a classic Android user
interface, this phone is really all about the angles and
lights in a typical gaming device way. If you’re looking
for a gaming phone, then it’s likely to appeal, but
others have a more subtle design if it’s too much.
When it comes to performance and features
though, this is the best with its Snapdragon 855+
processor, 120Hz display, 6,000mAh battery,
Air Triggers, and AeroActive Cooler II. Even the
cameras are great, which is not something we’re
used to saying for gaming phones.
All of this at a price that’s lower than many
top flagship phones. It’s still a big beast, but that’s
what you get if you want all this stuff in a phone,
including that huge battery. The ROG Phone II isn’t
a phone for the masses, but it does exactly what
it sets out to achieve – be the best gaming phone
you can buy. Dominic Preston and Chris Martin
