Asus ROG Phone late-October shipping date listed
The Asus ROG Phone was announced way back in early June and nearly four months later you still can’t buy one. That may finally change, if a GearBest listing is to be believed.
The site prices the phone at $1,320/€1,140 and claims that the shipping date will be between October 22 and 24. That’s the 8/128GB version, the 8/512GB model will cost $1,620/€1,400.
Those prices are higher than the €1,000 asked by Finland’s Telia (that was a pre-order with a free ROG Delta headphones, but it has since disappeared). The carrier claimed that shipments will start in mid-September, but that obviously didn’t pan out. There was talk of a September launch in India as well, which didn't happen either.
The phone promises a 90Hz AMOLED screen, a binned Snapdragon 845 chipset (for higher clock speeds), dual USB-C port (for accessories), virtual trigger keys, 4,000mAh battery and many other cool features (including an RGB-backlit logo on the back, of course). Which all sounds great, but for now it’s as real as Big Foot.

True. But its a slow phone, now that we have the Apple A11-Bionic, let alone the new A12, Huawei Kirin 980, and the soon to be released Qualcomm Snapdragon (855 ?) and Samsung Exynos (9910 ?). So while I agree the RoG is a phenomenal phone for...
