Editorial report

Asus ROG Phone 5s 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The Asus ROG Phone 5s suits people looking for a gaming-focused phone with a fast display, a large-capacity battery, and dedicated gaming controls. Its trade-off is the build: at 238 g and 9.9 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.

The 6.78-inch AMOLED display reaches 144 Hz, among the highest refresh rates of its time, and its 1200-nit peak brightness is higher than that of most contemporaries. Its AnTuTu score of 907,700 puts performance among the best of its time. For photography, the 64 MP resolution is better than that of most phones launched around the same time; optical image stabilization and an ultrawide camera are also included. The 6000 mAh battery is among the largest-capacity batteries of its time, while 65 W charging is more powerful than that of most. Connectivity is also among the best of its time.

This version pairs 16 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage. The Asus ROG Phone 5s is sold in configurations ranging from 8 GB / 128 GB to 18 GB / 512 GB. With an overall NeoScore of 7.5, it is a strong choice for gaming-focused buyers who value a high-refresh-rate display, substantial battery capacity, and powerful performance, and can accept its weight and thickness.
