Those specs, while impressive, don't tell the whole story, though. In Q4 2018, Asus will also launch a range of gaming-oriented accessories, including the $229.99 Mobile Desktop Dock, which lets you connect the phone to an external 4K monitor as well as mouse and keyboard. Other accessories include the $399.99 TwinView Dock, which adds an additional, 6-inch screen to the phone and the $329.99 WiGig dock which lets you wirelessly stream the image from the phone to a TV with an under-20ms latency. You'll also be able to get a $59.99 protective case as well as a $89.99 controller with dual analog joysticks and a bunch of additional buttons and triggers.

The 512GB version of the ROG Phone will cost $1,099, and if you opt to buy some of the accessories listed above, you can quickly reach the price of a decent gaming PC. It appears Asus is quite serious about turning the smartphone into a serious gaming machine, though, as there's nothing quite like this phone on the market.

This announcement definitely cements this year's October as the month of phones. LG and Google have already launched their flagships, and -- besides Asus -- Razer, Samsung, Huawei, and OnePlus are scheduled to launch new phones this month as well.
