Another year, another ROG Phone. These exclusive ROG Phone 5 is conquering the early year of 2021- for those who dare to win! They are significantly improved from the previous generation, powerfully crafted and stacked. The ROG Phone 5, the gaming phone that takes no prisoner takes the already great formula established by its predecessor and modernizes it for 2021.
The ROG Phone 5 is actually the 4th generation model from ASUS. But since many cultures aren’t fans of the Number 4, they skipped it. The number ‘four’ in Chinese just happens to sound similar to their word for death. So naming products after this number is considered unlucky and is avoided. Features-pack as the phone maybe, this is the Vanilla model. There is the PRO version and a limited Ultimate Edition too.
Powered to win by the latest Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 888 5G Mobile Platform. This ROG Phone 5 series delivers mobile gaming performance like never before. This futuristic wonder packs an unbelievably responsive 144 Hz/1ms AMOLED display with 300Hz sampling rate. It has the world’s lowest 24.3 millimetre touch latency. A flawless quality and super smooth performance.
The phone is made from Corning® Gorilla® Glass VictusTM, toughest protected screen ever, with an aluminium frame. We do have a glossy finish on the ROG Phone 5, so classy and subtle design. This phone has a clean black slab of glass with subtle red accents on the side. Enhanced with a DOT Matrix RGB, ROG logo. There is also an under-display fingerprint reader for waking up and unlocking the phone.
Audio Quality
For audio, the ROG Phone 5 has two identical symmetrical 2- magnet front-facing stereo speakers with larger chambers and higher power output. It surprisingly delivers wide soundstage via crosstalk cancellation and boomy bass. Audio files get even more love with a traditional 3.5 mm headphone jack with high-end codec and a high output amplifier for high impedance headphones.
Unique thermal design
The ROG 5’s unique thermal design is called the AeroActive Cooler 5 clip-on external cooling fan with two extra physical buttons allowing a genuine console- like control experience. It is placed in the middle that can lower the surface temperature near the CPU by up to 15°C. You do get compatibility with a professional dock for PC connectivity and the Kunai Gamepad 3 that also works as long as you get a new bumper to fit the phone. But this is an additional accessory for ROG Phone 5 and is sold separately. Still even without the gamepad. You have plenty of extra input for your games, thanks to the Air Trigger 5 control system on the corners called the ultrasonics side sensors- the most-loved features of ROG phone. Not to forget the support of 10 different motion controls allowing you to easily pick the moves to fit your game.
ROG Phone 5’s battery life
ROG Phone 5’s battery life should be awesome! But it also has a new trick up its sleeve! At the bottom of the phone, we have a USB Type C port and at the side as well! No cable getting in the way when you’re charging the phone while playing games! The phone comes bundled with a fast 65-watt adapter with a lifespan of the monster 6000 mAh1 battery that delivers 2x longer lifespan and up to 67% more power savings, optimizing itself for the best power efficiency, depending on how we use it.
Camera’s specification
Finally, lets go over to the camera’s specification. The ROG Phone features a flagship Sony® IMX686 64 MP main wide-angle camera, an ultrawide 13 MP second camera, and a macro camera. Enhanced software features include a Pro Video Mode as well as Free Zoom, Wind Filter and Acoustic Focus that functions for you while creating a standout video quality.
