Mobile gaming has for the most part, always been popular. More recently, the genre has exploded, aided by the introduction of such games like
PUBG and
Fortnite. So it comes as no surprise that companies are attempting to capitalize on this wave by
reintroducing smartphones that are geared towards gamers. While many have tossed their hats into the ring, it wouldn't be a party if Asus didn't come out with its guns blazing. The company is known for its wide range of computing products, smartphones, and also its line of gaming hardware under its Republic of Gamers (ROG) moniker, so the move to craft a handset made for gamers only seems natural.
