Editorial report

Asus ROG Phone 5 Pro technical sheet

The Asus ROG Phone 5 Pro suits buyers looking for gaming-focused hardware, generous memory, and a high-refresh-rate display. Its trade-off is its size: at 238 g and 10.3 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.

The 6.78″ AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, among the highest refresh rates of its time, while its peak brightness of 1200 nits is higher than on most phones launched around the same time. Performance and hardware are among the best of its time: the phone pairs 16 GB of RAM with 512 GB of storage and posts 740,000 in AnTuTu. Storage cannot be expanded.

The 64 MP camera resolution is better than most, although the camera setup overall is typical. There is no optical image stabilization. Its 6000 mAh battery capacity is among the highest of its time, and 65 W charging is more powerful than on most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity is also among the best: the phone supports 5G and Wi-Fi 6E, and includes NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its overall NeoScore is 6.8. This is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize performance, display refresh rate, and battery capacity, and are comfortable with a heavy, thick phone.
