After launching the smartphone in China in July this year, Asus is scheduled to host an event in New Delhi today to announce the launch of the second-generation ROG Phone in the Indian market. The event will kick off at 12.30 pm IST, and Asus will be streaming the event live.

The highlight of the ROG Phone 2 is its 120 Hz display which Asus claims is a true 10-bit panel (more on that later), and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ chipset that powers it. The smartphone also comes with 12 GB RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.0 storage. It is fuelled by a massive 6,000 mAh battery with 25 W charging support.

Most smartphone panels are 8-bit panels, i.e., they can display 16.7 mn colours. A 10-bit panel means that the ROG Phone 2 can display over 1.07 billion colours.

Additionally, a dedicated landing page on Flipkart also reveals that Asus ROG Phone 2 will sell exclusively via the e-commerce platform.

ROG Phone 2 features a vapour cooling chamber to keep the device from heating up.
