The gaming smartphone niche continues to expand with new feature-rich devices now launching in quick succession to satiate the hunger of mobile gamers. Asus ROG Phone arrived last year with a true gaming aesthetic and beastly specs, however, we are now nearing the launch of its successor.

The cameras on the rear are said to include a 48MP primary sensor, with no info on the secondary sensor. There will also be a 24MP selfie camera on board here, but the most significant upgrade is expected on the battery front. Asus ROG Phone 2 is expected to come equipped with a humongous 6,000mAh battery as compared to the 4,000mAh battery pack on its predecessor. This massive battery pack leads to a heftier build with ROG Phone 2 expected to weigh around 240 grams, as per the TENAA listing.
