Asus’s second-gen gaming phone, the Asus ROG Phone II was launched back in September 2019 but is already facing shortages. Asus India, in a recent Twitter post, warned customers regarding a temporary shortage of Asus ROG Phone II. The ROG Phone II is currently the cheapest phone in India with a 120Hz screen. The letter penned to customers warns of a temporary shortage of the device due to the “disruption in the supply chain caused by the prevailing situation in Asia”. The company, however, goes on to assure fans the Asus ROG Phone II will be back in stock soon.
Though not stated explicitly, the reason for the phone running out of stock is the coronavirus epidemic which has already affected many tech companies in the region.
