Editorial report
Asus ROG Phone 5 12 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet
The Asus ROG Phone 5 suits buyers looking for a gaming-focused phone with a fast display and a high-capacity battery. The trade-off is a heavy, thick body: it weighs 238 g and is 10.3 mm thick, both figures worse than most phones of its time. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in configurations up to 18 GB / 512 GB.
Its 6.78″ AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, a refresh rate among the highest of its time, and reaches 1200 nits peak brightness, better than most. The panel has a 1080 × 2448 px resolution and 395 ppi. Gaming-focused features include pressure-sensitive zones and an RGB light strip.
The 6000 mAh battery capacity is among the best of its time, while 65 W charging is faster than that of most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity is also among the strongest. AnTuTu’s 883,000 result places its hardware better than most. The camera is better than most: its 64 MP, 1/1.7″ rear sensor exceeds most in resolution and size, though the main camera has no optical image stabilization.
With a NeoScore of 6.8, the Asus ROG Phone 5 stands out for gaming-focused buyers who prioritize the display and battery and can accept a heavy phone and a main camera without optical stabilization.
