Snapdragon 888: The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Mobile Platform takes mobile processing power to a new level. 3D games run smoothly with maxed-out settings while the all-new performance manager in Armoury Crate now packs the renowned X Mode. Multiple system profiles give you even more performance settings and performance tuning tools, so you can instantly adapt ROG Phone 5 to the task at hand.

Amazing Visuals: Boasting an industry-leading 300 Hz touch-sampling rate, the 144 Hz / 1 ms AMOLED gives you a super-smooth gaming experience, with an ultra-low 24.3 ms touch latency. The supreme visuals are enhanced even further with world-beating color accuracy, the new always-on HDR technology that improves non-HDR visuals, and a screen that’s protected by the toughest ever Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus.

High-Capacity Battery: The monster 6000mAh battery inside ROG Phone 5 now comes with a 65-watt HyperCharge adapter, so you can get a day’s use from just a short charge. The battery is separated into two with a PCB in the center, a design that keeps hotspots away from the grip area for more comfortable gaming.

It features a flagship Sony® IMX686 64 MP main wide-angle camera, an ultrawide 13 MP secondary camera, and a macro camera.

Review: Wired

WIRED

Touch-sensitive buttons allow for more flexible gameplay, and Asus’ software lets you make any game playable with a controller. Impressive performance. Good battery life and a smooth 144-Hz display. Headphone jack. Extra USB-C port. Lots of helpful accessories.

TIRED

Configuring games can be overwhelming, and might require a (short) learning curve. No water resistance, MicroSD card slot, wireless charging, or Verizon compatibility. It’s heavy. The cameras are OK but don’t match other pricey phones. Poor record for software updates.
