Unexpected novelty on Snapdragon 888. Asus ROG Phone 4 starts earlier than expected

Today the Asus company on the official page in the social network Weibo has published information about the imminent announcement of the new gaming smartphone of the Asus ROG Phone line.

Last year, Asus’ ROG division launched the Asus ROG Phone 3, which has been dubbed as the best smartphone for mobile gamers by some publications. Accordingly, the announcement of Asus ROG Phone 4 is expected this year. Although in Asian countries some companies prefer to omit the number 4 in the names of their new products. The reason for the phobia is the pronunciation of the Chinese character for “four,” which sounds like “death.”

As for the technical characteristics, the details about them are still extremely limited. The only thing that can be said for sure is the presence of a single-chip system Snapdragon 888. It is also quite obvious that the new smartphone will receive a screen with a refresh rate of at least 144 Hz, which was the predecessor.

It’s worth noting that Asus started preparing the public for the release of a new gaming smartphone unexpectedly early. Last year, the Asus ROG Phone 3 was only released in July.
