Asus ROG Phone 2 to launch on July 23: Here's what to expect

Asus ROG Phone
Asus ROG Phone 2 is expected to come with the Snapdragon 855 processor.

Asus launched its first gaming smartphone last year under the Republic of Gamers branding dubbed ROG Phone. The company is now gearing up to bring a successor as they roll out the media invites for the ROG Phone 2. According to the invite, the smartphone will be unveiled on July 23 at an event in China.

The first generation ROG Phone features a 90Hz display, which is the same as the recently launched OnePlus 7 Pro. With its upcoming smartphone, Asus wants to step up the game by bringing a faster refresh rate at 120Hz. However, it will not be the first phone to come with a 120Hz display as the Razer Phone 2 already has that.

Unlike the ROG Phone, the second generation model needs to get an aggressive price tag if Asus wants to compete against smartphones like Nubia Red Magic 3 and the Black Shark 2. In China, the ROG Phone 2 is expected to be priced at CNY 4.299 (roughly Rs. 43,000). To recall, last year's ROG Phone comes with a price tag of Rs. 69,999 in India.

Interestingly, Asus has also partnered up with Tencent Games for their upcoming smartphone launch. With the help of this partnership, Tencent will optimise all its games to take advantage of the 120Hz display on the upcoming gaming phone.

HongMeng OS to beat Android and MacOS in terms of performance, claims Huawei

Huawei Mate 20 Pro
Huawei Mate 30 Pro might be the first smartphone to come with HongMeng OS.

Since Google banned Huawei from using Android on its devices, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer started taking its software game seriously. The company recently announced that they will be coming with their own operating system dubbed, HongMeng OS. Ren Zhengfa, CEO of the company has some interesting claim.

We have heard quite enough about Huawei's upcoming operating system over the news. Zhengfa, in an interview for the French magazine Le Point, told that the HongMeng OS can be installed on network switches, routers, data centres as well as smartphones. If that is the case, the operating system is quite similar to Google’s Fuchsia OS.

Further, the CEO of the company also claims that the upcoming operating system will be faster than Google's Android, which they have been using on their phone until now. As the OS will also come for laptops and computers, the comapny claimed that HongMeng OS will run faster in comparison to Apple's MacOS.

This news might not be as surprising since we have already heard leaks and rumours about the operating system. However, we will need to test out the OS first in order to believe those claims. So, we need to wait for the company to announce the upcoming software, whcih is most likely to happen at the upcoming Huawei’s Developer Conference.

Meanwhile, the US government recently lifted the ban from Huawei, which now allows Google to provide Android to the Chinese company. However, the company will still develop HongMeng OS to ensure such bans do not damage their business model.
