When it comes to features, the phone comes with the new-and-improved AirTrigger 3 haptic triggers that now allow you to perform gestures like sliding to perform more functions in any game.
To keep the phone cool during long gaming sessions is a beefed up vapor chamber cooling system; the Malaysian retail box also includes the new AeroActive Cooler 3 that you can attach to the back of your phone to improve heat dissipation.
Powering the device is a massive 6,000mAh battery that ASUS claims can get you over 9 hours of game time. To charge your powerful device is support for 30W of HyperCharge fast charging. Like on the ROG Phone, you also get a side-mounted charging port so you don’t have cables in the way of your hands when you game.
