What do you think the ASUS ROG phone and its accessories are going to be priced at?

I'm considering getting this phone a year or two after it comes out (so the price goes down, and because I recently bought a new phone and don't want to go and immediately buy a new one). As much as I'd love to get this, the price may be the dealbreaker. If it's too expensive, I'm not going to get it. I don't really have a good estimate of what the price will be, nor do I know what an appropriate price is since I haven't seen much about it (reviews, etc.). 

 

It might be priced a lot higher than it's worth just because of the ASUS brand name and the fact that it is a high-end phone in itself. (If they can pay $x for it, surely they could afford just another hundred dollars, right?)

 

Anyway, what do you think the price range for this phone will be? What about its accessories? Do you think they'll be included or not? Do you think they'll be really pricey as well?

I feel like it'll be at least $800. All the accessories are definitely gonna be sold separately and probably won't be super cheap either, especially that second screen one

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

The price will be hard to determine but I think the accessories will be sold separately personally. Its  marketing sadly

Buy an S6. Do you really need an $800 phone for games like "Extreme Car Driving Simulator" and "PUBG Mobile"?

Maybe ~$900 for the phone

$150 more for the 2 screens

$100 more for the controller

$100 more for the dock

Total everything: ~$1250

Unless they are nice, based on other phones prices and profits, I would guess around $1,700 USD.

I also think they have an advantage because they are the only one with all those accesories so high prices are likely.
