On July 23, ASUS ROG game handset 2 was officially released. When the price of 3499 yuan came out, it caused a lot of trouble on the Internet. It was also a "material stacking monster". The first launch of Snapdragon 855 Plus, 120Hz screen refresh rate, UFS 3.0 and other configurations were very attractive Love to play computer games We also got the classic version of 12GB+512GB. Now let's evaluate it to see how it actually performs.
appearance
There is no doubt that when you pick up ASUS ROG game phone 2, you will know that it must be a practical game phone, especially the design of the back, which is doomed to be not a "normal" phone. The design of lines is very conspicuous, and there will be a kind of effect of colored light band under the refraction of different light lines.
But the real highlight is the logo of the black eye. It can not only light up, but also breathe. At this time, I just want to silently read: “ROG Yes”， Full of faith, the lamp effect can also DIY itself.
In fact, I often think that the light design is of no use in the back, and I can't see it myself. But when I see my colleague next door picking up the ROG game phone 2 to play with, I understand that this light is not for myself at all, but "dazzle" for others to see. You must be the most beautiful one playing games in the crowd.
The above is my initial feeling when I got the ROG game phone 2 for the first time. But after the uproar, my mood returned to calm, and the freshness had already faded. Looking back at the ROG game phone 2 again, you will feel: "That's all right". The appearance design of the game phone is really not everyone's favorite. After all, this design is considered "alien" by many people, but when you think about it, If the game phone is not designed to look like this, how can it deserve the title of game phone?
All buttons are distributed on the right side of the machine body, and the buttons feel very crisp. There is an AirTriggers button on both ends of the right side.
There is a 48 pin custom interface on the left side of the fuselage, which can be charged and can also expand belief accessories.
There are Type-C connectors and 3.5mm headphone holes at the bottom of the fuselage from left to right.
The feel of ROG game phone 2 can be basically described in two words - thick, 9.48mm body thickness plus 240g body weight, which is enough to deter many people. Fortunately, ROG game phone 2 has a good grip feel, so if you want to buy ROG game phone 2, you should consider its weight to see if you can accept the weight.
screen
ROG game phone 2 is equipped with a 6.59-inch, FHD+OLED panel. The screen uses a 120Hz high refresh rate screen and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. We found that the screen driver is new. The screen panel was not found, but we can know whether it should be a Samsung panel.
The actual appearance of this screen is quite ordinary. A little closer, you can still see that the edge of the text is a little weak. The fineness is not as good as that of Black Shark 2 Pro, which is similar to that of Red Devil 3. However, you should pay special attention to it. You really need to look carefully to see that it has little impact when you use it at ordinary times.
Take a look at the measured data, ROG game phone 2 has four color modes to choose from: natural, best, cinema and standard. The color accuracy in the standard mode is good, and other modes are average.
I don't know whether it is a case in point. The brightness of the screen of our ROG game mobile phone 2 is not very uniform. If the screen is divided into three parts from top to bottom, the maximum brightness of the upper part is 392nit, the middle part is 414nit, and the lower part is 451nit; The actual appearance, under the pure white background, you can see that the upper part of the screen gradually changes from dark to light to the lower part, but the actual use is not very obvious; The maximum brightness of automatic excitation is 851nit, which is still a bit unexpected.
In addition to the uneven brightness, the color temperature is not very uniform. The color temperature in the upper half of the screen is slightly cold, and the color temperature in the lower half of the screen is slightly warm;
To sum up, the performance of this screen of ROG game phone 2 is somewhat unsatisfactory, but don't forget the 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. High refresh rate is really easy to make people "addicted". Personally, the experience of high refresh rate can largely cover up the problem of screen fineness, and the experience of high refresh rate is self-evident, The 240Hz touch sampling rate also makes the system very chirality. The summary of this screen is: the appearance is average, and the sliding is great.
performance
ROG game phone 2 launched Snapdragon 855 Plus for the first time, and the CPU super core frequency has been raised from 2.84Ghz to 2.96GHz. The GPU frequency is increased from 585MHz to 640MHz. Officially, the CPU and GPU have increased by 15%. In addition, the Snapdragon 855 Plus has not changed much. The Snapdragon 855 Plus can be regarded as the official overclocking version.
8GB/12GB running memory, 128GB/512GB body storage, UFS 3.0， It supports 802.11ad Wi Fi, that is, 60GHz high-frequency Wi Fi. It is a very luxurious configuration, and the performance must not be worried. We got the 12GB+512GB version. Let's see the score comparison chart.

Game experience
The game experience of ROG mobile game 2 is really stable. After testing the mainstream games on the market, they are all stable and run in full frame. With speakers and dual linear motors, the game experience is very good. Unfortunately, most games do not support 120Hz, so the performance of this screen cannot be fully utilized.
The functions of the game mode are also quite comprehensive. Interestingly, it supports "macros" and can record operations. This is very practical for some users.
dissipate heat
ROG mobile game 2 uses matrix liquid cooling for heat dissipation. After playing Peace Elite for 30 minutes, the image quality special effects and frame rate are set to the highest, the maximum temperature on the back is 43 ℃, and the maximum temperature on the front is 39 ℃. After hanging your own cool fan 2, the measured back temperature is kept between 39 ℃ and 40 ℃. There is a USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-C interface and a 3.5mm headphone hole at the bottom of cool fan 2.
After the fan is plugged in, the phone has two earphones. Curiously, I thought that I could plug in two earphones, but I could only choose one from the other. The same is true for Type-C interface, which does not allow me to enjoy double happiness (Dog head warning) 。
Sound&Vibration
ROG game phone 2 uses dual stereo speakers. The positions of both speakers are in the positive direction, that is to say, they will not be blocked when the phone is held horizontally. The actual feeling is: awesome! This performance is absolutely the first echelon; ROG game phone 2 is also equipped with a dual linear motor, which has a good experience, but there is still room for optimization. If ASUS can optimize these two motors in the future, I think the experience will be better.
photograph
In the past, the photo taking effect of game phones was quite ordinary, but the "foundation" of several recently launched game phones seems to be good. ROG game phone 2 adopts rear dual camera: the main camera is Sony IMX586 48 million pixels+13 million pixels in wide angle. Let's take a look at the live photos.

Night Mode
Reasonably, there is something about the photography quality of ROG mobile game 2. The daytime scene, exposure and white balance control are relatively accurate. The photo adjustment style is simple and elegant, and it looks transparent, HDR automatic recognition is also very fast. The overall photo taking experience is good. The night scene is much worse. The anti glare ability is relatively weak, and the highlight suppression is also general. The night scene can only be said to be moderate. Even if the night scene mode is turned on, there is not much room for improvement. It is still a little different from the mainstream level.
On the whole, I think it's good for a game phone to have such a good level of photography.
Endurance&Charging
After the 2-hour professional endurance test of Io console, the remaining power is 85%. The battery capacity of ROG game mobile phone 2 is 6000 mAh, and it is measured that the battery is fully charged for one hour and 46 minutes. This speed is really unspeakable. For a 6000 mAh mobile phone, it is fast. The maximum power is about 26 W when charging. Even if the 120 Hz refresh rate is a major power consumer, the mobile phone can easily use for one day. It should be noted that the elite version with 3499 yuan is equipped with an 18W charging head as standard, while the original 30W charging set is priced at 299 yuan, which is very "ROG".
summary
The price of ROG game mobile phone 2 elite version 8GB+128GB is 3499 yuan, and the price of classic version 12GB+512GB is 5999 yuan. Judging from the number of appointments of 260W made by JD before the deadline, we can see how popular this mobile phone is. We have to say that this ROG game mobile phone 2 is really full of materials, with 120Hz screen refresh rate, Snapdragon 855 Plus, UFS 3.0, 6000mAh battery NFC、 It only costs 3499 yuan for dual speakers, dual linear motors and other configurations, which is too unlike "ROG". Maybe this is the first "black eye" product for young people (Manual dog head) So, do you think ROG game phone 2 is popular?
