Tired of waiting for the ZenFone 6 availability? We sort of joked a while back that the ROG Phone II might be available before the ZenFone 6. In a sense, that has come to fruition. You can now BUY the ROG Phone II for $899 USD including international orders, ships Oct 28. These ship first-come, first-serve so order now and you will get it on the next shipment date rather than facing more delays by waiting. The initial batch of units sold out so be aware.

No question the ROG Phone II is a beast. Obviously the price is up there, but so are the specs. It goes big on pretty much everything. Sure the ZenFone 6 battery is 5,000mAh but the ROG Phone II goes beyond sanity with 6,000mAh. Aside from the beefy specs you are getting a more premium AMOLED display (2340 x 1080) over the LCD found in the ZenFone 6. There is no notch, but also no flip camera module. You can go up to 120Hz refresh rate which is a big benefit that the ZenFone 6 does not have. A special Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus goes beyond fast.

Design wise it is quite different than the ZenFone 6, but if you’re using a case you should have no worries in that regard.
