Ignore the Galaxy S10 and OnePlus 7 - This powerful new Android phone will surprise you
SAMSUNG’S Galaxy S10 and the new OnePlus 7 Pro offer some serious specs but a new rival is bringing even more power to Android fans.
Android fans who want the ultimate performance might be surprised by which phone is leading the pack.
Although the new Galaxy S10 and OnePlus 7 Pro are two of the fastest devices on the market right now they are being eclipsed by an unlikely rival.
The new Asus ROG Phone 2 has just been unveiled and it offers some seriously impressive specs.
Tucked inside this device is the latest Qualcomm 855 Plus processor which is clocked up to 2.96GHz for a four per cent performance boost over the standard Snapdragon 855.

There’s also 12GB of RAM, 512GB of internal storage and a clever cooling system which uses a vapour chamber to stop things getting too hot under the hood.
Along with being massively powerful, the ROG Phone 2 also has a very fast 6.59-inch display which includes a refresh rate of 120Hz.
That means it should offer an even more slick experience than the brilliant OnePlus 7 Pro which has a 90Hz refresh.
Other features of this ultimate gaming phone include a 48-megapixel camera, embedded fingerprint scanner and rather unique and futuristic design.
You'll also be treated to one of the biggest batteries in a phone with the ROG 2 arriving with a giant 6,000mAh powerpack.
Asus says that the ROG Phone 2 has been designed from the ground up for fully immersive gaming, with its unique landscape-oriented design incorporating upgraded AirTrigger II ultrasonic sensors, Dual Surrounding Vibration technology, and powerful front-facing stereo speakers.
There will also be some brand-new accessories including the TwinView Dock II for immersive dual-screen gaming, and the multi-configuration ROG Kunai Gamepad for the ultimate console-like gaming experience.
There’s currently no word on price although The Verge is reporting that it will start from $899 when it arrives in September.
If you want to get an up-close view of the ROG 2 then tech YouTuber SuperSaf has posted a full unboxing on his channel.
The 10-minute clip reveals the device will arrive with a fast charger, protective case and an AeroActive Cooler which provides an extra boost to sustain maximum performance.
