“The ROG Phone is the first and only gaming smartphone available in the Indian subcontinent right now”
A number of companies out there have tried to jump on the gaming phone bandwagon, but none so enthusiastically as ASUS has, with its ROG Phone ( first impressions). This extremely interesting handset has finally been launched in India with a hefty price tag of Rs 69,999. The smartphone has got attractive looks, enviable specs and more importantly, a number of gaming-focused features that will immediately tempt gamers. But if you’re willing to sacrifice these gaming-focused traits, there’s one more phone in the market that’s offering similar internals at almost half the price. We’re of course talking about the OnePlus 6T ( review), which starts at Rs 37,999. So if you are torn between the two, let’s try to help you reach a conclusion with by comparing the ROG Phone with the OnePlus 6T.
The ROG Phone from ASUS will leave you impressed with the RGB-illuminated logo on its back surface. And the best part is that it offers the ability to customise the colours in these LEDs as well. The rear surface of this handset is covered with glass, and has a ventilation system for dissipating heat. The rectangular fingerprint scanner place on this surface blends with the design aesthetics of this device. The OnePlus 6T grabs the conventional glass-sandwich design, but its main attraction is definitely its full screen front surface, the only blemish on which is a waterdrop notch. The phone embeds its fingerprint scanner into its screen, leaving the dual-camera module and a flash to be the only occupants of its back surface.
