Editorial report

Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate technical sheet

The Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate suits buyers looking for high-end gaming and multimedia hardware, with a high-refresh-rate display and stereo speakers. The trade-off is a heavy, thick body compared with most phones of its time.

Its AMOLED display refreshes at 144 Hz, among the highest rates of its time, and reaches 1,200 nits peak brightness, higher than most phones launched around the same time. The phone pairs 18 GB of RAM with 512 GB of storage, capacities among the highest of its time; its AnTuTu score of 810,000 is also better than most phones from that period.

The 6,000 mAh battery capacity is among the highest of its time, and 65 W charging power is higher than most phones of its time. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and Dual Nano-SIM. For photography, the 64 MP camera resolution is better than that of most phones launched around the same time. At 238 g, it is among the heaviest phones of its time, while its 10.3 mm thickness is greater than that of most.

With an overall NeoScore of 7.4, the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize the display, battery, and gaming hardware and can live with a bulky phone.
