Asus has received strong response over the years with the ROG Phone gaming smartphone. We have already come across multiple generation of the device, packing top-end hardware at a reasonable price point. And now, they have introduced the ROG Phone 5 for buyers, available in multiple storage and RAM options. 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. Asus continues to offer triple rear camera with the latest ROG Phone. The system consists of 64MP wide sensor, 13MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 5MP macro sensor. And on the front, the phone gets a single 24MP sensor. Like with the ROG Phone 3, the new device comes loaded with 6,000mAh battery that supports 65W fast charging via USB Type C. Other features on the phone are on-screen fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, and face unlock. Other popular Asus mobiles include the Zenfone 7 Pro, ROG Phone 3 and the Zenfone Max M1.

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.
