The Asus ROG Phone, our favorite gaming phone of 2018, may be getting a sequel this month. Asus has apparently started sending invites for the ROG Phone 2 launch set to take place July 23 in China. Gadgets360 spotted one of the supposed Asus invites on Weibo earlier today (pictured below).

We had already been expecting a ROG phone sequel this year, but with the original device being released just last October, we suspected we’d be waiting another few months for it. The ROG Phone 2 leaks have been cropping up more frequently though — the phone has reportedly passed through several certification sites, and has been referenced in at least one other leaked promo.

Back in June, DigiTimes also suggested we’d see the phone on July 23. It seems like there’s a good chance we will.

With that being said, and though the invitation looks like the real deal, it wasn’t sent from an official Asus channel and we haven’t seen anything regarding the launch from Asus’ Western portals yet.

Best MSI laptops to buy in 2019 – gaming, creation, and workstations

Digging through the current lineup of MSI laptops can be a challenge. MSI has 12 brands across the gaming, creative, and workstation markets. Each brand offers multiple models, and each model has multiple configurations. Navigating through …

What’s more, the material itself doesn’t mention the ROG smartphone specifically, only the date and location of a ROG product launch (and Asus has a number of ROG branded products). We’ve contacted Asus representatives for more information and will update this article should we hear back.

As for what we can expect from the ROG Phone 2 specs, rumors suggest it will have a 120Hz display — up 30Hz on its predecessor to bring it in line with the Razer Phone 2 — while we also expect it to come with a Snapdragon 855 chipset and at least 8GB of RAM.

Who’s excited for this one? Let me know in the comments.

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
