The ASUS ROG Phone 5, 5 Pro, and 5 Ultimate are essentially the same. Their only key differences are the RAM and storage configurations. Plus, the Pro and Ultimate models have a secondary display on the back called ROG Vision and rear touch sensors. They will also come with AeroActive Cooler 5 on the box.

All three models will come with the current top-dog processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. ASUS also split the 6,000mAh battery into two 3,000mAh cells. Putting the chipset in the middle, allowing the AeroActive Cooler closer to it.

Having the battery split will also divert the heat away from the user’s fingers. More importantly, it allowed the ROG Phone 5 series to have 65W fast charging.

Speaking of which, the trio has a USB Type-C port on the bottom and the side, with the latter meant for plugging in accessories.

We then have the large 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen on the front. It has all the fancy features like a 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time, 300Hz touch sampling, HDR10+ support, and 111% DCI-P3 coverage.

The ROG Phone 5 series is then protected with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, with 25% smaller bezels.

Like the previous model, the cameras aren’t the most exciting of all. They have a 64-megapixel main shooter, 13-megapixel ultra-wide, macro lens, and a 24-megapixel front-facing cameras inside a thin bezel — no waterdrop notch or punch-h-ole.

Other notable features include an ESS Sabre ES9280AC Pro Quad DAC for the best possible listening experience on any gaming or audiophile headphones. Plus, front-facing stereo speakers with dual Cirrus Logic CS35L45 amps.
