Asus is planning some big things for its upcoming ROG phone. And now it's revealed pricing and pre-order availability.
The ROG phone will go head-to-head with another anticipated gaming phone in the Razer Phone 2, whose pricing and specs have not yet been released.

The ROG phone will work with a variety of add-ons that should enhance your gameplay experience. The mobile desktop dock, for instance, will cost $230. Other docks that are compatible with the ROG, including the TwinView Dock and WiGig Dock, will cost you $400 and $330, respectively. The TwinView Dock is designed to add another screen to the smartphone, so you can play games in a dual-monitor mode. The WiGig Dock effectively turns the smartphone into a game console. A Gamevice controller will set you back $90. The ROG Phone case will cost $60.
Asus' decision to price the ROG similarly to other high-end handsets, like the iPhone XS, is perhaps no surprise. The device is a powerful smartphone that runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 and Adreno 630 graphics and is specifically optimized for high-end gaming. The handset also features a 6-inch full-HD+ screen.
We had some hands-on tiime with the ROG Phone earlier this year and we were generally impressed with its performance. When pre-orders begin on Oct. 18, they'll be available at the Asus store, Microsoft Stores, and Amazon.
