The latest ROG Phone features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, offering Full HD+ resolution at 1080x2448 pixels and supports 144Hz refresh rate. Because of which, the screen offers pixel density of 395 PPI. The front and the back of the phone get Corning Gorilla Victus and Gorilla Glass 3 protection, respectively. The front display has a wide notch that houses the selfie camera. The phone comes powered by the latest octa-core Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset from Qualcomm. It gets paired with 12GB RAM for optimum performance that a high-end device is expected to offer. You get 256GB onboard storage with this variant that should prove more than adequate to download apps, store photos, and videos as well.

Verdict

Asus ROG Phone 5 is a hard-core gaming phone that provides you with the later hardware in the market. You get a big screen with support for 144Hz refresh rate for smoother gaming experience. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus gives the screen added protection and running Android 11 makes it ideal. The cameras are decent but the long battery backup along with 65W charging is a sweet deal for this price. However, the storage is not expandable, the design looks boring now and wireless charging was expected at this price.
