Asus is making a quick start in 2021, not only with its regular ZenFone series but also the ROG lineup. The company is making its move in the mobile gaming arena with the new ROG Phone 5 that packs the latest Qualcomm flagship chipset. This phone features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, offering Full HD+ resolution at 1080x2488 pixels and 144Hz refresh rate. Because of which, the screen offers pixel density of 395 PPI. The front display has a notch that houses the front camera. The phone comes powered by the latest octa-core Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset from Qualcomm. It gets paired with 8GB RAM for high-end performance that you expect from a device in this bracket. You get 128GB onboard storage that should suffice for downloaded apps, photos, and videos as well. Asus has bumped up the imaging prowess of its latest ROG gaming phone. The device still has a triple rear camera setup. But this time, it consists of 64MP sensor, 13MP wide-angle sensor, and a 5MP macro sensor. While on the front, the phone gets 24MP sensor. Being a gaming phone means, ROG Phone 5 offers backup with the built-in 6000mAh battery that now 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.
