Max cooling for max performance
The second-generation GameCool II cooling system in ROG Phone II has a newly designed 3D vapor chamber that's even more effective at removing heat from the phone during full-speed operation. There's also a new AeroActive Cooler II that can fit over the new Aero Case3, and which features redesigned fan blades that deliver even more airflow into the ROG Aerodynamic System. It's much quieter and cools ROG Phone II more effectively at high loads, which translates directly into better performance for no-compromise full-speed operations. ROG Phone II won't let you down in the heat of battle, no matter how long victory takes.

Landscape-optimized Wi-Fi
Gaming over Wi-Fi can be a hit-and-miss experience if your connection isn't perfect. ROG Phone II is the first phone of its kind to use a multi-antenna system that minimizes lag and ensures rock-solid connectivity. The four antennas are optimally located to deliver maximum Wi-Fi throughput when you're gaming in landscape mode, minimizing lag for the best connected experience. And to ensure your gaming is never interrupted, the clever Game Genie software prevents the phone switching between Wi-Fi and 4G when you're gaming.
