ROG Phone 5 series, REVEALED!

In the recent live stream provided by ASUS, three phones of the ROG Phone 5 and their features and specs revealed.

Features:

All three ROG Phone 5 phones are equipped with a 6.8in. Samsung AMOLED Display with 300 Hz touch-sampling rate, 24.3 ms touch latency and Delta E<1 colour accuracy. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus

All three phones have pretty much similar specs, with the exception of additional RAM and/or storage. Also, the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate only comes with white, while the other two, the Regular ROG Phone 5 and 5 Pro, come with black colour only. Another exception is that only the Ultimate and Pro versions have the ROG Vision secondary display at the back.

There is a triple camera setup at the back. The main wide-angle camera comes with a 64mp Sony IMX686 CMOS sensor, and the other two are a 13mp Ultrawide sensor and 5mp macro cameras. For selfies, you have a single 24MP wide-angle camera

This is pretty much expected. All three come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, with options including:

ASUS ROG Phone 5

• 8GB RAM/ 128GB Storage
• 12GB RAM/ 256GB Storage
• 16GB RAM/ 256GB Storage

ASUS ROG Phone 5 Pro

• 16GB RAM/ 512 GB ROM, and;

ASUS ROG Phone 5 Ultimate

• 18GB RAM/ 512GB ROM

That’s right! The ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is the world’s first phone with 18GB RAM!

The most interesting part of the new ROG Phone 5 is that they come with a headphone jack, along with stereo speakers and Haptic Audio feedback! The phone speakers are powered by two amplifiers and DTS: X stereo speakers as well as ESS DAC sound

AVAILABILITY:

The ROG Phone 5 is expected to be available this month, with the Pro coming this April and the Ultimate this May.

The ROG Phone 5 Ultimate will be available only for a limited time. Those who order the limited edition ROG Phone 5 Ultimate will receive a Fan Gift Collection from ASUS.
