ASUS recently revealed the availability and pricing for their ROG Smartphone. The gaming device equipped with a 6-inch 90Hz AMOLED 2160 x 1080p display is already quite impressive by itself. However, ASUS bundles it with a plethora of accessories that truly make it a gaming powerhouse. The phone by itself costs $900 for the 128GB version, and $1100 for the 512GB version. Adding all the accessories on top of that, totals to $2130 and $2330 respectively.
There are four different docks available for the ROG smartphone. This includes the Professional dock, Mobile Desktop Dock, WiGig Display Dock, and TwinView Dock.
The Profesisonal Dock ($120 USD) is just like any normal compact notebook docking device. It has USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port for display output and a network port. Obviously, this is more for those who want to do some productivity work with their ROG smartphone.
The Mobile Desktop Dock ($230 USD) is functionality similar as it lets you build a complete desktop around the ROG Phone. It includes hooking up a 4K monitor, Gigabit Ethernet, and a stack of USB peripherals. Although it ads 5.1-channel speaker connectivity as well.
As for WiGig Display Dock ($330 USD), it lets gamers connect their smartphone wirelessly to a big-screen TV for a cinematic gaming experience. Essentially turning it into a games console like an Xbox or PlayStation. It has built in ultrafast 802.11ad 60GHz WiFi for smooth, latency-free gaming.
Meanwhile, the TwinView Dock ($400 USD) turns the device into a Nintendo DS-like dual-screen gaming handheld unit. It is pricey since it comes with a secondary 90Hz AMOLED display with the same resolution, minus the phone internals inside.
Additionally, ASUS also sells a $60 phone case and a $90 Gamevice controller for the ROG Smartphone.
