Along with ROG Phone 2, Asus also introduce some accessories for the smartphone which definitely improves the overall smartphone gaming experience. Below three are my favorite accessories for the phone.

1. AeroActive Cooler II: As the name suggests, this is the second generation of AeroActive Cooler which is an external fan to cool down the temperature of the smartphone (more specifically cooling down processor). As compared to first-generation AeroActive Cooler, the newer one is more efficient and makes less noise.
2. ROG Kunai Gamepad: This particular accessory form Asus transforms your ROG Phone 2 into PSP (PlayStation Portable).
3. Twinview Dock II: Twinview Dock is very useful for gaming and streaming at the same time. Because of Twinview Dock, one can use one screen for game controls leaving another screen free from on-screen game controls for complete game viewing experience.
