India is one of the most important smartphone markets where leading smartphone brands are constantly trying to bring in featureful devices. Asus is also one of those brands that hold a decent grip in the Indian online market share.

In fact, the uprising of Asus along with OEMs like Xiaomi and OPPO was one of the key factors in the decline of the cumulative share of the top three brands i.e. OnePlus, Samsung and Apple.

According to a report by Counterpoint Research, in Q3 2019 the top three brands secured a 79% share in the smartphone market which was 83% in Q3 2018. All thanks to the growing presence of brands like Asus in the online market.

Moreover, the company never shies away from bringing in an innovative smartphone-like we had the motorized rotating camera in the Zenfone 6. Asus also brought in the ROG Phone II, a gaming beast, which is the successor to the original ROG Phone.

One of the most important features of this new update for the ROG Phone II is the AirTriggers. This allows the user to use slide gestures on either the right or left edge of the phone.

Now with this new update, you can set AirTriger for horizontal or vertical swiping. Besides, you can reposition the icon to a specific location and set the slider to the desired distance.
