The ROG Phone will arrive in Italy from October 25 (but with pre-orders open from 18) at a price of 899 € bundled with the external fan AeroActive, certainly not cheap but adequate to the characteristics and the specific target to which it points. Along with the smartphone will also be made available the various accessories presented during the Computex including the pair of side controllers - in switch-style Gamevice, the Twinview Dock, a shell that offers a second screen, additional battery 6000mAh and physical triggers (price 249 €) and the Mobile Desktop Dock that allows you to connect your smartphone to the monitor, keyboard and mouse and use it as a PC.
