Latest News:  rog phone

It seems that Samsung might join the gaming smartphone race with their own gaming smartphone device based on a statement made by @MMDDJ_ on Twitter. If my predictions are correct, the smartphone will follow the footsteps of other gaming smartphones such as the Razer Phone, Xiaomi Black Shark, and even the ASUS ROG Phone in that it might feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, high ram capacity, probably a high refresh-rate infinity display and equally large battery capacity.

ASUS Republic of Gamers has been really quiet about their ambitious ROG Phone over the past few weeks, nobody knows the availability and price but one thing for sure is that Malaysians (and Phillipinos lol) are huge fans of it. Well, perhaps the time of waiting is coming to an end soon because our local distributor DirectD, has just released a teaser of the ROG Phone's arrival on their Facebook page.

Finally, the questions that our readers have been asking for the past few weeks - What is the price of the ROG phone? Seriously, TechNavers, if we knew we would have announced it already but then again, it does show the popularity and while ASUS is keeping their mouth tight on this, we have received news that the gaming phone will be launching in India during the third quarter.

Based on an interview conducted by gadgetmatch.com, Huawei Consumer Business President Jim Xu has confirmed that chinese smartphone manufacturer plans to release a gaming focused smartphone in H2 2018 as well as a foldable smart device by 2019. But the concept of having a gaming centric phone is not new though as several other manufacturers such as Razer Phone, Xiaomi Black shark, and the Asus ROG Phone has been known to be around for quite a while now.

Before Computex 2018 kicks off, ASUS Republic of Gamers quickly hosted their gaming products including the exciting gaming products such as the their very first gaming ROG Phone, new gaming ROG Strix SCAR II and ROG Strix Hero II laptops, world's first tri-band 802.11ax router ROG Rapture GT-AX11000, ROG Ryujin and ROG Ryuo CPU coolers, a ROG Thor 1200W Platinum power supply, as well as a new ROG Delta gaming headset and others. 

So they actually did it, in response to Razer and Xiaomi, ASUS Republic of Gamers is now the latest game player introducing the world their first ROG Phone. This is not just your typical gaming smartphone but it's packing some serious features and tech-specs, such as having a 3D vapour-chamber cooling system, an ultrasonic AirTriggers feature, a Snapdragon 845 processor clocking in at 2.96GHz, an AMOLED display running at 90Hz refresh rate and many more.

Starting tomorrow 13 May 2016, Maxis will be offering the Apple iPhone SE through their Zerolution programme online and Maxis Centres nationwide. Exclusively with MaxisOne plan, customers can get any model of the iPhone SE from RM45 per month with no plan contract and can upgrade to the latest iPhone every year.

Fun fact of the day, many people might not know this but did you know that the word Strix is actually a Greek word for 'Owl'? That really explains the overall design and look for the gaming headset. Aside from that, ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) don't fool around either when it comes to gaming equipment. Introducing the  ASUS ROG Strix 7.1 Gaming Headset, it provides a 7.1 surround sound and also arrives with an USB audio station in it. But does it offer the “omph” with that? Read below to find out.

While Lenovo may have bought Motorola, the Project Ara modular smartphone remained at Google. Since it was based off of the Phonebloks concept, Phonebloks recently checked up on the Project Ara team to see how far they were going. The visit was documented into the video below which more or less shows that Project Ara is on track to becoming a working modular smartphone. Still no news when that might become a reality but Google has said that the entry-level unit should be priced not more than $50 (RM164), and that developers get the kit for free. The whole Project Ara looks to be quite thorough, right down to a user-friendly interface for non-techies to make their own pick and place modular smartphone, so check out the video in this article.
