Asus ROG Phone design

The ROG Phone is designed to impress gamers and is inspired by Asus’ ROG line of gaming laptops and components. At the back, Asus has opted for an asymmetric design with multiple elements to make it stand out. The dual camera setup, single-LED flash, and fingerprint scanner have irregular polygonal shapes that are unique and help the phone stand out. There’s also a metal element with what look like vents on it.

The fingerprint scanner is slightly offset from the centre, but since it is wider than usual, it is reachable when holding this phone in either hand. In the centre of the rear is the ROG logo which has customisable RGB lighting.
