The ROG phone looks like that.

In certain ways, its actually a bit of a relief.

While the ROG isnt for everyone, its not ugly.

Well, okay, its ugly, but its like of Hollywood ugly more interesting-looking than AVERT THINE EYES.

Still, it sure looks good when youre playing Snake.

I love that game!

What about the build quality?

So apart from these souped-up specs, whats so special about the ROG phone?

Well, it has a range of peripherals, which are pretty snazzy.

Right, I think I get this now.

Whos this phone for?

Basically, anyone who loves mobile gaming and wants a gear that excels at it.

The ROG phone deals with 3D games better than anyother phoneIve used.

Still, I have a weird soft spot for the ASUS ROG phone.

Its actually out here doing something different.

And I respect that.

But, most of all, I respect how it plays Snake.
