Asus ROG Phone
The Asus ROG Phone is a smartphone built for gaming purpose. ROG, a famous sub brand of Asus, stands for Republic of Gamers and is a division of Asus that focuses on gaming, e-sports, and modding PCs. The company has made a lot of gaming laptops which look cool with heat vents, LED lightings as well as device designs inspired by different game environments and weapons. It is about time Asus implements these features to make gaming smartphones. This is a phone built to win. Its world-beating, speed-binned 2.96 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform and Adreno 630 GPU deliver great performance not only for gaming but also to run multiple apps. The Snapdragon 845 on the ROG phone is slightly overclocked, thus it could produce more heat compared to other devices with the same processor. To combat with heat produced when a user is gaming, its unique GameCool vapor-chamber cooling system with detachable AeroActive Cooler makes up for an extra cooling boost and sustains high frame rates in the heat of battle. Using a combination of tough, precision-crafted 2.5D- and 3D-curved Corning Gorilla Glass with diamond-cut highlights and copper detailing, the metal-framed, water-resistant ROG Phone combines battle-hardened construction with a very comfortable gaming grip. The display is also one of the best in the market right now. It features an OLED 6-inch notch-free 18:9 panel that pushes a resolution of Full HD+. As a gaming smartphone, it has a refresh rate of 90 Hz, which is higher than a normal smartphone and it also has a 1 ms response time. With a wide 108.6 % DCI-P3 (sRGB 145%) color gamut, colors are incredibly vivid too, so game worlds look as glorious as they were intended. To further enhance the gaming experience, the ROG phone features DTS:X Ultra 1.0 which delivers incredibly realistic 3D audio rendering for any kind of games or virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), featuring immersive 7.1-channel surround-sound with an enhanced bass response. On the back of the smartphones, there are two sensors which are a 12-MP one and a secondary 8-MP wide-angle camera. Although the camera is not the most attractive feature on a gaming smartphone, it captures decent quality photos, particularly with its wide-angle camera to capture wider angled photos. As for the battery, the handset features a large 4,000 mAh battery inside with support for Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 4 technology and USB-PD fast-charging. It will be important for the battery to support quick charge as gaming consumes more power. Asus also included other gaming features like a built-in nickel-plated cooler, a pair of capacitive AirTriggers, and two USB-C ports. The Asus ROG phone also has multiple accessories to be picked up separately, which includes ROG Phone Case, Asus Professional Dock, GAMEVICE controller, Mobile Desktop Dock, ROG Suitcase, ASUS WiGig Display Dock and Twinview Dock.

Stop Zen! After years of calm, ASUS has blown the mobile gaming world open with its first smartphone. The ROG Phone has more up its sleeve than a fast processor, plenty of RAM and energetic marketing material. ASUS has integrated trigger buttons into the Phone’s frame, a dock connector and included an active cooler in the box. Find out in our detailed review whether the ROG Phone does enough to score top marks.

The ROG Phone 2 is a classic second phone: an iterative improvement that doesn’t rock the boat too much. The core ethos is exactly the same, but improvements across the board do their bit to justify the new model - especially the giant battery and 120Hz display - and might even be enough to tempt an upgrade for original ROG Phone owners.

The Asus ROG Phone is an over the top handset with just about everything a gamer could want including AreoActive Cooler, AirTriggers and an overclocked Snapdragon. Whether it's for you comes down to whether you buy into all these elements. This is a marmite phone due to the way Asus has gone to town with the design, features and software.

Ever since the inception of mobile phones, gaming has always been an integral part of it. Be it Nokia 1100 or the recently launched ASUS ROG phone. While the term ‘Mobile Gaming’ wasn’t taken very seriously a few years back, titles like Angry Birds, Clash of Clans, and the currently trending PUBG have changed things drastically.

At a price tag of Rs. 69,999, the Asus ROG Phone is definitely tough to recommend but keep in mind that the phone is targeted towards a very selected number of people who want a device that lets them game without issues or hitches. The ROG Phone is a cool concept and I really loved using it but the only thing pulling it back is the price. Since this is a ROG product, it is good to see Asus investing in the mobile gaming sphere as well. This is a great competitor for some good gaming phones in the future.

If you're in the market for a gaming phone, the Asus ROG Phone is the one to get, with the best balance of hardware and features for hardcore mobile gamers. For casual gamers, however, the phone may be overkill. The OnePlus6T has excellent specs for $350 less, while the Pixel 3XL features the best smartphone camera you'll find, and is first in line to get Android updates and special features.

On the other hand, if you are simply looking for a versatile smartphone and not necessarily a "gaming" phone, then we would advise you to look elsewhere. The ROG Phone is a first generation product and a tech showcase in every sense of the word. It's aimed at a very niche and still an emerging market. It's a glorious glimpse into a great potential future mobile branch, but one that still needs some work to earn an all-around recommendation.

There’s nothing wrong with the Asus ROG Phone as such. It’s a well-made smartphone that will surely click with a group of hardcore gamers and geeks, though they represent a minority. The handset costs a lot and that’s stopping me from recommending the ROG Phone at the moment. The ROG Phone is priced at Rs 69,999 which is no small amount, although not quite as much as Apple iPhone XS.

Build quality is top-notch and its aesthetics balance serious looks with serious performance quite well. Internally, we have the best hardware you can currently get on an Android phone and a company that knows how to make the most of it. In fact, Asus couldn’t stop making hardware for it and produced a bunch of really neat accessories to go along with the ROG Phone. Lastly, we find more of Asus’ strong prowess in photography in the ROG, proving that compromises in areas like this aren’t necessary to have the best gaming phone on the market.

Experiencing the ROG phone’s capabilities such as its AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate paired with proprietary and gamer centric features such as the Air Triggers, AeroDynamic Cooler and a stat monitor is truly a game changing experience. The 90Hz refreshrate improves the overall quality of life as scrolling and browsing through apps feels smooth while it also contributes to the overall immersion when gaming. The lack of time and accessories such as the game vice and dock render our conclusion incomplete. But so far, the ASUS ROG has done a splendid job in shaping the gaming smartphone industry.

It’s definitely designed for gaming which is evident in its looks, features, and accessories, and those are the things that give it an edge over its competitors. To cut it short, yes, the ROG Phone is one of the best gaming smartphones in the market and it’s not hard to imagine seeing it in the hands of mobile eSports teams.

Even without turning on its Super Saiyan mode, it's already capable of beating out most other flagships. Combine that with a thoughtful ergonomic design, innovative AirTrigger function, decent camera performance and compatible with various innovative gaming accessories, I think RM3499 is worth it for serious mobile gamers. The only thing that I dislike is the heat and fast battery drainage issue but I guess it can't be helped much. If the ROG Phone was a Pokemon, it would be a Heatran because it's a legendary fire and steel type Pokemon. This should give you an idea of how powerful the ROG Phone is.

The only thing that I dislike is the heat and fast battery drainage issue but I guess it can't be helped much. If the ROG Phone was a Pokemon, it would be a Heatran because it's a legendary fire and steel type Pokemon. This should give you an idea of how powerful the ROG Phone is.

Unfortunately, there's no word on price and availability yet, but you can probably expect the phone to cost you an arm and a leg.

We need to test it out fully, but it looks to have achieved this with a number of neat features including the AreoActive Cooler and AirTriggers, not to mention the supped up Snapdragon 845, 90Hz AMOLED screen and a possible 512GB of storage.

Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing the ROG Phone here soon, perhaps never. Rumour has it that regulatory compliance costs in Australia are too high to make it a worthwhile sales proposition. Still, we can admire the product, even if we can’t use it.

The ROG Phone looks like it’ll be a marmite device that’s perfect for gamers but a little ostentatious for everyone else. Even I, as a hardcore gamer, winced at the over the top design and slathering of RGB lighting.

Asus isn’t known for its high-end phones. Traditionally, they’ve skirted the mid-range and attempted to bring a lot of value to the consumer at a lower price. That changed a bit with the ZenFone 5Z, which packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 among other high-end specs. While this seemed like a pretty beefy phone on its own, Asus has upped the ante with the announcement of the ROG Phone.

Asus claims the ROG Phone is the fastest on the market at the moment. It also said that the phone's battery will last for over 7 hours during Wi-Fi-connected gaming. We look forward to putting that to the test, though the company didn't announce when exactly the phone will be released.

There's no doubt that the ROG Phone isn't going to come cheap. Given the specifications and engineering that go into it, we'd expect its price to be significantly higher than that of the ZenFone 5z. China would seem like the most obvious place to make a big push, but we're told that the ROG Phone could launch very soon in India. Given that we're still waiting for the ZenFone 5z to make it to our shores, we'll hold on till we have concrete information before getting too excited.

ASUS producing a gaming smartphone is one of the more esoteric news stories at the Computex 2018 trade show this year. To fire a shot right across the bow of Razer, ASUS is putting its ROG credentials on display: a speed-binned Snapdragon 845 running at a higher frequency than the standard S845 smartphones, a higher-than-standard 90 Hz refresh rate display with 1ms response time and 108% DCI-P3 gamut, programmable ultrasonic AirTrigger sensors, force feedback, and additional docks for purchase. One of the key elements is that ASUS built this phone with an 11mm thickness, well beyond the 7-8mm we see on flagship smartphones today. They have put that additional volume to incredible use for extra battery, more haptics, bigger speakers, more connectivity, and it's a showcase of what we could see if other smartphone manufacturers offered a bit extra z-height.

No entanto, quando comparado com o Razer Phone 2, o ROG Phone é melhor em quase todos os aspectos. Tem câmeras melhores, bateria maior, os botões AirTriggers e uma coleção de acessórios caros que permitem melhorar as possibilidades de jogo que o competidor da Razer nã tem. E com luzes RGB, o ROG Phone é um abraço sem remorso à cultura gamer, para o bem ou para o mal.
Positive: High performance; powerful processor; long battery life; nice cameras; beautiful design. Negative: Relatively high price.

Asus has made some significant improvements to the ROG phone, which first appeared on the scene in 2018: Instead of 90 Hz, we now have 120, instead of 8 GB of RAM, there is now 12, and there is, of course, a brand-new SoC on board. We had a chance to play a few games on it, and when it came time to give it back, we did so rather reluctantly. However, if you plan on using it for anything other than gaming such as making phone calls, surfing the web, emailing etc., then its weight of 240 g might prove to be not very easy to overlook.

I’d say this is a phone you can buy and use for years upon years as long as you’re comfortable with the software situation. I never felt a slowdown nor did I see any stuttering when using the device and I used it for well over a month. It’s flawless in that regard. Even with apps getting bigger and demanding more processor resources, I still think that the ROG Phone II will keep up with newer devices many years down the road.

I've used a lot of phones over the past few years, and I was pleasantly surprised by the ROG Phone II. It works quickly, it feels smooth, and its battery is a powerhouse. Further, even though it gets warm occasionally while gaming, I didn't mind because of the attachable fan. However, it does make the phone a tad bulkier so I can see why owners wouldn’t want to carry it around.

As we noted at the very beginning of this review, the Asus ROG Phone II is targeting gamers, not photographers or videographers; even so, its imaging capabilities are not particularly bad, but just a bit disappointing when compared to its older (and less expensive) Zenfone 6 sibling. The Asus ROG Phone II’s biggest drawback is its inconsistency: there can be marked differences between photos shot in a series, and unpleasant frame shifts in video footage.

This is by far one of the very best gaming phones on the market today especially in this Ultimate Spec that we have reviewed here. If you can afford one it is well worth buying. It will also keep up with most other flagships as a phone as well so well done Asus.

The ROG Phone II has a lot going for it. Its display is fantastic and fast, and the battery life is a champion in the class of any Android phones and quite possibly even the current iPhones as well. You might not get great results with its cameras, but you are guaranteed performance and dedicated gaming buttons in the form of the Air Triggers so if you are all about mobile gaming, the ROG Phone II is a no brainer – it’s the only choice.

The ROG Phone 2 isn't a phone for the masses but it does exactly what it sets out to achieve - be the best gaming phone you can buy. There are cheaper ones available if it's too pricey, though the budget Strix Edition helps here too.

The Asus ROG Phone II in large measure delivers on being an excellent audio performer for gamers, with plenty of volume and well-placed dual front-facing speakers that help give it a wide and accurate sound stage. So as you’d expect, gaming audio is its strong suit. The lack of bass may prove a bit frustrating for those who want booming bass to go along with its high overall volume. The downside to the high volume capability is some artifacts, including distortion at maximum volume.

If you’re an RGB-loving gamer who lives an overclocked life at 120Hz, then there’s a good chance the Razer Phone 2 will push your buttons. Given that our reviews aren’t just for gamers, though, luxuries like a 120Hz display and illuminating back aren’t enough to bump up its score beyond a 3.5. The 16:9 aspect ratio screen feels dated, it’s a bit washed out when viewed at an angle, and the camera is only passable by today’s standards. And, unlike its predecessor, it doesn’t undercut the competition in terms of price, making it a tough sell at full price for all but the most diehard mobile gamers and Razer fans.

The ROG Phone II is the best gaming smartphone to own this year, if you are highly invested in the world of mobile gaming. The phone gives a lot of undue advantage to gamers, but to really make the best of this offering from Asus, you need to buy the accessories which will shoot up the costs. Long story short, the ROG Phone II is a mobile gaming console first, a flagship smartphone after.

It's also a comparatively big and heavy handset, versus the recent crop of flagship phones. However, the ROG Phone II is unapologetically a gaming-first handset, and next to something like the Nintendo Switch, it's more nimble (as it applies to mobility). If that is what you are after, we have no reservation in recommending the ROG Phone II. On the flip side, if gaming is an afterthought, phones like the OnePlus 7T are a better bet.

What the ROG Phone 2 is, is a gaming phone in it’s second generation that will likely get better when Asus goes back to the lab for the ROG Phone 3. Remember gaming laptops when they first started out? Ugly, right? But now? So much better. I look at the ROG Phone 2 this way. Sometimes we have to appreciate unconventional technology as much as we love what we’re used to every year. At least with the unconventional stuff, there’s risk and innovation coming to play. I find the ROG Phone 2 to be a beast of a phone and perfect for what it does and who it caters to. You disagree, that’s cool. Fight me. I’m kidding.

Looking back at the first ROG Phone, the ROG Phone 2 is definitely an improvement as it has fixed some of the things I didn't like back then. This includes the ridiculously good battery performance, better sound quality, and the improved Game Genie app. The AirTrigger is kinda in between as I have a problem of pressing hold because it's too sensitive, but overall, there is very little to complain about.

Asus has made a seriously impressive smartphone for gamers. We found it to be extremely capable of lag-free gaming performance for extended periods, though it does starts heating up a little after 3 hours of playing graphic-intensive games at highest-possible settings. The battery lasts easily for a day even after about 4 hours of gaming daily. The cameras gave mostly clear shots during daytime but not so good in the night. The audio performance is beyond impressive for a phone of this price. If mobile gaming is your passion and you are not the sort to compromise even slightly on the gaming specs and performance in your cherished phone, and also, are willing to go easy on the camera department which is a little letdown, especially in night-time photography, the ROG Phone II is the ideal choice for you.

The Asus ROG Phone 2 is a solid piece of hardware and is definitely the most polished and impressive gaming phone we've seen so far. It lacks some features such as waterproofing and wireless charging, but at Rs. 37,999, those things aren't big deal breakers. The higher-end version feels too expensive at nearly Rs. 60,000 even with the massive bump in storage and the bundled accessories. A price of around Rs. 50,000 would have been more accessible.

Asus has left no stone unturned when it comes to designing this smartphone. The smartphone is loaded with top-notch hardware and the performance is crisp. The 120Hz display is the star of the show and so is the massive 6,000mAh battery. The camera performance is decent in daylight, though in low light it shimmers a bit. Overall, the Asus ROG Phone 2 is, without any doubt, one of the best gaming smartphones in this price range. If you are not into much of gaming, then it remains one of the best mid-premium flagship phones at your disposal.

With regard to gaming, multimedia and battery, the Asus ROG Phone II sets new benchmarks for both midrange and premium phones. At Rs 37,999 for the base model (8GB RAM + 256GB storage), the phone is a steal: It can outperform even the premium smartphones. Pick this one for its all-round performance, games-related software and hardware enhancements, immersive multimedia capabilities and a long-lasting battery. Except for its mediocre camera performance, there is nothing that you might not like in the ROG Phone II.

The higher-end version feels too expensive at nearly Rs. 60,000 even with the massive bump in storage and the bundled accessories. A price of around Rs. 50,000 would have been more accessible.

Asus has left no stone unturned when it comes to designing this smartphone. The smartphone is loaded with top-notch hardware and the performance is crisp. The 120Hz display is the star of the show and so is the massive 6,000mAh battery. The camera performance is decent in daylight, though in low light it shimmers a bit. Overall, the Asus ROG Phone 2 is, without any doubt, one of the best gaming smartphones in this price range. If you are not into much of gaming, then it remains one of the best mid-premium flagship phones at your disposal.

With regard to gaming, multimedia and battery, the Asus ROG Phone II sets new benchmarks for both midrange and premium phones. At Rs 37,999 for the base model (8GB RAM + 256GB storage), the phone is a steal: It can outperform even the premium smartphones. Pick this one for its all-round performance, games-related software and hardware enhancements, immersive multimedia capabilities and a long-lasting battery. Except for its mediocre camera performance, there is nothing that you might not like in the ROG Phone II.

Evaluating the ROG Phone II as a standard flagship-class phone, this is an average one: not the best, but not bad. As with most larger phones, having such a huge screen is wonderful, and this is one of the biggest, nicest screens out there. But it's when you consider the life-changing battery stamina that it becomes truly tempting. If you can afford it and don't mind the size trade-off, it's a compelling option.

Asus’ ambitious gaming phone offers a lot of power for $899, and thanks to its accessories, it’s capable of more than almost any other phone out there. There’s an audience for this kind of package, but for most people, it probably comes with too many compromises. It’s big, heavy, and you’ll need to spend hundreds to see some of that potential as a portable gaming console come to fruition.

If you love gaming on your phone and want something that doesn't hinder your gameplay skills, this is a phone that will support instead of asking you to adjust accordingly. It's silly fast and smooth as well. The 6000mAh battery makes for reliable battery life and the audio through the speakers is impressive. What else do you need from a gaming phone?

Because of this, many of the ROG Phone II’s potential buyers are now getting the wrong version of the device, and many of them are (unfairly) not happy with their experience because of the issues we’ve mentioned. ASUS really needs to bring the phone over ASAP to the Philippines so that people will finally be able to properly experience the phone’s gaming greatness.

If you’re a mobile gamer, the ROG Phone II is simply the best piece of kit you can buy right now. This is a super-premium device in every regard, so it doesn’t come cheap, but rivals can’t match it for performance, battery life or accessory support. Even oft-neglected areas like the camera tech get a big thumbs up.

Asus clearly isn’t playing around (pun intended) with the ROG Phone II in India. The smartphone has been launched for a lucrative price of just Rs. 37,999 which considering everything that it offers is quite a bargain. The ROG Phone II is spec’d up as much as any phone could be and irrespective of whether you play games on your phone or not, the ROG Phone II feels like a phone you can’t resist buying. The performance is amazing, the 120Hz display is smooth as ever, battery life is nuts and you get a ton of gaming-related features and accessories if you’re into that sort of a thing. The OnePlus 7T launches on the same evening as the day this review goes live and is expected to come with similar specifications like the Snapdragon 855+, a smooth 90Hz display and triple cameras instead of two on this. Of course, that’s more of a conventional smartphone rather than a pocket PC that went overboard. You can wait for how that turns out before you make the final decision.

But overall, if you are looking for a gaming smartphone and your budget is Rs 38,000, then Asus ROG Phone 2 is the best option for you right now.

It is clear that Asus has made the ROG Phone II with passion and desire to please a growing demographic of gamers – people who see gaming as a lifestyle, not just as a fun way to spend their spare time. And the result is one ridiculous phone – in every positive sense of the word. It has both the hardware and software to give you the upper hand over your online opponents – while still being a good Android smartphone overall.

The two-part Kunai Controllers can be attached to the Kunai Holder to create a standalone gamepad, or combined with the Kunai Bumper to add physical gamepad controls to ROG Phone II itself.

I think users’ attitude towards Asus ROG 2 should be two extremes. People who don’t like it can find many reasons, such as big, heavy, overperformance and low-cost performance. But for those who like it, all these shortcomings can be converted into advantages: the screen is big enough, the battery life is strong, the performance is hot, the armor looks cool, and the price of 3499 yuan is quite close to the people in the ROG series. Especially in the eyes of ROG believers, it is just a loser’s eye LOGO, probably more than this price.

Last year’s ASUS ROG Phone felt like one of the first gaming phones that actually made sense. But for its second attempt, Asus has doubled down on everything: Between its big 6.6-inch screen, a new processor from Qualcomm, and an absolutely massive battery, Asus may have just created the most powerful Android phone on the market. Let’s start with its display. Instead of sticking with a 90Hz refresh rate, Asus selected an OLED screen with an even faster 120Hz refresh rate, which is the first of its kind among phones and apes the trend towards more responsive displays we’ve seen on gaming PCs.

The first ROG Phone was a product that mobile gamers didn’t think they needed until it launched last Computex 2018. It’s the first gaming phone that has accessories which greatly improves the gaming experience of the user. ASUS ROG saw that mobile hardware can now play games at high refresh rates and the need for accessories in a “gaming phone.” The ROG Phone 2 was created out of demand and not because Asus can just do it. According to their studies, there will be a 14% growth rate of the eSports audience with 57% of the growth coming from the Asia Pacific. This projected growth has led Asus to develop the next gaming standard of the mobile market. Does the ROG Phone 2 live up as another game-changer in the smartphone landscape? Let’s take a closer look.

The low latency, high refresh-rate AMOLED display sets it apart from smartphones sporting the same type of display namely the OnePlus 7 Pro, Razer Phone II, Blackshark II and even the iPhone XS Max. What makes the ROG Phone II unique over the rest of the smartphone market is its no-compromise approach when it comes to gaming. Regardless if you buy the ROG Phone II with accessories or not, the gameplay experience is still very immersive in its own right.

The refresh rate of the display peaks at 144Hz/1ms, which was tailor-made for gamers and born to win. In addition to retaining the features of previous-generation products that were loved by players, which includes the 6000mAh battery, double front speakers and complete accessories, it also upgrades many functions, such as AirTrigger 3. The ROG Phone 3 features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus 5G processor, and the latest LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 ROM, which greatly improves the read and write efficiency of mobile phones. The clock speed is increased to 3.1 GHz, which makes the ROG Phone render games easily. The ultimate performance brings players a fast gaming experience.
The ROG Phone 3’s GameCool 3 cooling system uses a 3D liquid temperature equalization plate and a large heat sink precisely configured on the phone. Through specially designed vents, it provides ultra-high heat dissipation efficiency when the phone is operating at full speed. In an intense game process, the ROG Phone 3 easily maintains peak performance without slowing down. With the use of a new generation of AeroActive 3 aerodynamic fans, its cooling fan can bring super airflow and strengthen the heat dissipation of the processor and 5G chip area, reducing the surface temperature by as much as 4 celsius. The ROG Phone 3 is equipped with an industry-leading 144Hz/1ms AMOLED display. With a 270Hz touch sampling rate, the touch response is significantly reduced to 25 milliseconds. It also supports HDR10+ content. To ensure the best visual effects, each monitor is colour-calibrated to ensure a Delta-E value of less than 1. This monitor passes the TÜV Rheinland certification that ensures the best viewing comfort for players.
Powering the phone is a 6000mAh battery, so even the most intense battles are not subject to power restrictions. Three passive power-saving mechanisms, including a variety of custom battery modes and an exclusive sleep function, can greatly extend the interval between each charge and improve battery life. As for audio, equipped with dual front stereo speakers, the smartphone provides powerful and immersive sound effects in games. Larger speakers, magnets, and enhanced drive component amplitudes create a louder volume. With a new game mode and unique audio algorithms, players will not miss any gunshots, environmental directional sounds, footsteps or explosions. The ROG design and development team understand the key functions required by players and combine their in-depth expertise to create the ultimate e-sports phone for mobile gamers. In conclusion, the Asus ROG Phone 3 is targeted at heavy gamers with a higher budget.

In the rarefied world of gaming phones, this is the one to beat, and well deserving of our Editors' Choice award.

The Asus ROG Phone 3 puts in somewhat underwhelming performance overall, and although gamers will appreciate its touch accuracy and smoothness, they may be a tad disappointed at its frame drops, stutters, and handling of aliasing. However, for non-gaming use cases, it performs better than its Black Shark rival, which may make it a reasonable choice not just for gamers, but for other users as well.

The ROG Phone 3 is a pretty impressive piece of technology, rocking a powerful chip, a huge screen, and a “gamer” aesthetic, which some might find cheesy, though it will have its audience. I, personally, like the RGB light and the techy futuristic look of its shell, and I am sure others will, too.

There's very little to complain about the ROG Phone 3. It's a phone with a simple but futuristic design, superb battery life, great mobile gaming performance, and useful AirTriggers. That said, perhaps the only downside is the price itself but it depends on which variant you're getting. The one we reviewed costs RM4499, followed by RM3799 for the 12GB + 512GB variant and finally, RM2999 for the Strix Edition which uses SD 865 and 8GB + 256GB which is an honestly good price for a gaming smartphone beast.

One positive of ASUS’s ROG Phone III SKU offering is that the base “Strix” model features just the regular Snapdragon 865, which if it performs similarly to other devices in the market, shouldn’t have the same compromises between performance and heat. ASUS also gives you the option to tune-down the phone for better thermals, but then again, what’s the point in getting it?

ROG Phone 3, a regular phone by day and a gaming phone by night has everything a user will need. Whether he/she is a gamer or not, the phone is capable of catering almost everyone’s needs without being too loud or too shuttle. ROG Phone 3 stands true to its gaming DNA, it has the right design, features, performance and most importantly a dazzling display to lure any gamer at heart. In fact, this is the most customisable smartphone we have seen in ages. But any device with a gaming tag always has the struggle to fit in with regular ones and that’s exactly the case with ROG Phone 3. However, if you are looking for something that performs like a beast and has the endurance of a horse, then ROG Phone 3 is the phone for you. For those looking for a pretty looking phone with a flashy design then you might want to look somewhere else.

With a starting price around the Rs 50,000 mark, the Asus ROG Phone 3 is definitely not a casual buy. But what you get for that kind of money is one of the best gaming setups in the market, in a size that fits in your pocket. It lacks wireless charging which is a drawback in this price range and overall the ROG Phone 3 is best used for gaming only. The phone is a little large and heavy to carry around, but ardent gamers will overlook these parameters easily. Personally, if I were to pick this phone I would give up all my gaming paraphernalia. But that’s just me…

At this price, the phone is a steal for mobile gaming enthusiasts. There is no phone in the market at present that can match the ROG Phone 3’s gaming capabilities, and the experience only goes north with value-added features that come along. However, it may not be a good deal if you need a mainstream smartphone that you can use only sometimes for gaming. Do check out the ROG Phone 3 though before making a purchase decision.

The Asus ROG Phone 3 is a powerful and robust Android gaming phone, although it gets hot easily and can be cumbersome to use. It’s surprisingly well rounded for a gaming-focused handset, though buyers interested in other luxuries, like camera quality, may want to consider a more traditional flagship phone like the Galaxy S20 or OnePlus 8 Pro instead.

Alternatively, if you can extend your budget by Rs. 5,000, the OnePlus 8 Pro also enters the picture and now you have to factor in the clean UI, IP rating, and equally good performance that are additions to everything that the Mi 10 offers. Unless you particularly want flagship cameras, wireless charging, and water resistance, the ROG Phone 3 offers good value for your money and should be your pick, even if you are not a gamer per se.

I’d recommend the ROG Phone 3 outright if it wasn’t for the existence of the OnePlus 8 Pro (Review). Practically speaking, the phones are evenly matched on the performance front. And in terms of software support and cameras, I think the OnePlus has quite an edge.

Rog Phone 3 is a powerful device with a smooth performance. Gamers will not be disappointed by it but normal consumers may explore flagship smartphones from Samsung or Apple for their camera and design.

Asus ROG Phone 3 brings you the best when it comes to mobile phone gaming: it has a 144Hz display, the top-notch Snapdragon 865+ processor, a nerdy design, multiple ports for accessories, and a 6000mAh battery to support all of those features. If you are someone who wants to prioritise gaming over everything else and want to be known as a gamer, ROG Phone 3 will compliment you while justifying the price of Rs 49,999 for the base variant.

The ROG Phone 3 is clearly not for everyone. There are plenty of options that cost less and are much sleeker and easier to live with. Your choices include the OnePlus 8 series, the Mi 10 5G, Realme X50 Pro 5G, and several previous-gen flagships such as the Samsung Galaxy S10. All of these phones offer top-notch construction quality, displays, battery life, and cameras. They'll even run games well enough to please 99 percent of people.

Compared to the ROG Phone II, the ROG Phone 3 is a solid improvement in almost every way. It runs on the latest Android 10 with ASUS ZenUI and even the bundled detachable AeroActive Cooler now has a kickstand, so that you can rest the phone on the table during a Netflix and chill session, for instance.

The price tag and the launching date in Malaysia are not confirmed yet but we hope it will be announced soon.

Initially, I thought the ROG Phone 3 would be a rushed job as the ROG Phone 2 was still relevant and I didn’t want just some itsy bitsy improvements on the update. But as you can see, the ROG Phone 3 has made its debut with a big bang, just like how the series has done in the past years. The performance broke our records took top position in every single test, making it the ultimate gaming smartphone that you can buy today.

The ROG 3 Phone looks like a top-notch phone for gamers, with powerful hardware complemented by strong audio, a buttery smooth display, genuinely useful AirTrigger buttons, and thoughtful software. Depending on how much Asus decides to charge for it when it comes out in September, it could wind up being a solid phone for non-gamers, as well. We'll update this story with more testing and information as it comes out, so make sure to check back.

The Asus ROG 3 is a fantastic phone, with top-tier specs and perks that even non-gamers will love, like a 6,000mAh battery and smooth 144Hz display. Its unique features, like AirTriggers and clip-on accessories, could improve anyone’s gaming, though they’ll have to fiddle with the software to activate them. On the other hand, its gamer-centric software and looks won’t appeal to all, and its cameras leave something to be desired. It’s the most mainstream gamer phone to come out in awhile, but typical consumers may value photography over playtime. For the gamers out there, though, there’s no better machine.

For now, the answer to the question of "what's the fastest Android phone on the planet?" (at least currently), can be easily summarized as this -- the ASUS ROG Phone 3. No word from ASUS on pricing just yet unfortunately, though again general availability here in the US is slated for September; just a couple short months away. Stay tuned for our full review, which we are feverishly working on now. After spending a short time with the ROG Phone 3, however, you can color us impressed ASUS. The Republic Of Gamers is apparently bringing the fight yet again.

The ASUS ROG Phone 3 is built for mobile gamers who crave performance, silky-smooth frame rates, and thunderous audio. As a result, it absolutely flies through any task you could possibly throw at it — including the most demanding mobile titles. But this gaming performance comes with some compromises. It's heavy and bulky, lacks water resistance, and includes a camera setup that's mediocre for the price.

Not only does the Asus ROG Phone 3 surpass its predecessor — sometimes by far — in almost every category and rank second-to-best overall, it also shares first place for recording, thanks to a consistent overall performance across all use cases, and outstanding spatial results when filming videos. Despite noticeable bass resonances, audio played back through its speakers demonstrates good overall tonal balance, good dynamics, and good intelligibility even at minimum volumes. All in all, ROG Phone’s third generation seriously upped its audio game, achieving true flagship level.

The final verdict for ROG Phone devices has always been the same in our view. Much like a super car is hardly the most comfortable, convenient or value-centric vehicle you can get, the ROG Phone 3 is hardly the best all-round smartphone, nor the best value proposition out there. What it is, though, is the absolute best at its target niche - gaming.

The ROG Phone 3 is a pretty impressive piece of technology, rocking a powerful chip, a huge screen, and a “gamer” aesthetic, which some might find cheesy, though it will have its audience. I, personally, like the RGB light and the techy futuristic look of its shell, and I am sure others will, too.

Citizens of the Republic of Gamers will be pleased to know that the Asus ROG Phone 5 turned in a much-improved display performance over its predecessor, the ROG Phone 3. While still far from the top, the ROG Phone 5 put in a decent (if still slightly below average) performance and has pulled ahead of a number of other devices.

The ROG Phone 5 is easily the best gaming phone I’ve used to date, but this comes at a cost, and I'm not just talking about the high price. The Asus ROG brand caters almost exclusively to gamers, which is why the cameras aren't a focus and why we'll probably never see wireless charging or waterproofing. So whether or not you're willing to live with these compromises is a case-by-case kind of thing. If your goal is to have the best possible mobile gaming experience, this is the phone for you. Whether you're a mobile streamer, a mobile eSports player, or simply a hardcore mobile gamer, the ROG Phone 5 offers a plethora of options and peripherals to ensure you'll see the best performance possible in all of your favorite mobile games.

The Asus ROG 5 is the best gaming smartphone you can buy with design features and software perks that augment the playing experience. Incremental improvements on its predecessor make it a superior choice that make the phone appealing to non-gamers as well, from its good screen to great speakers to unseen internal refinements that let its 65W fast charging juice the phone from zero to almost full in under an hour. It’s still a pricey handset with notable camera shortcomings compared to rival flagships, but the ROG 5 is a recommendable alternative to top Android phones if you don’t mind its few flaws.

If you’re looking for ultimate mobile gaming performance, the ROG Phone 5 is definitely at the top of the list. Its gargantuan battery lasts an incredibly long time, the custom AMOLED display is gorgeous, and the raw power makes almost everything playable at 60 fps or above. However, if taking good pictures matters to you, the ROG Phone 5 is just okay. Its night mode falls flat, however. The photos are by no means bad, but I prefer the ones produced by other similarly-priced phones like the Pixel 5, iPhone 12, and Galaxy S21 Plus. Buy the ROG Phone 5 if you want a mammoth battery that’s incredibly difficult to kill or if you want the peak gaming performance available on Android. It's a true marvel of engineering to be sure. And you get some extra RGB and gamer flair for your money (if that's your thing), which helps the phone stand out from the crowd.

A phone built for gamers, offering loads of power, fantastic audio, and customisation of controls to give players the edge. But it's also a super phone outside of gaming: great for entertainment, with a smooth running system, although it can't quite match the camera offering of some big-name flagship rivals.

At a starting price of Rs 49,999, the ROG Phone 5 is a pretty solid smartphone. It offers almost everything a gaming smartphone should offer without sacrificing much on other aspects like designs and features. At the same time, it misses out on something which also matters to people who are willing to pay this hefty price. For instance, the camera should have been better than the previous generation.

As for the other accessories, it depends on you. Do you need a dedicated gamepad for your phone? To be honest, I’d say just get the ROG Clip or equivalent and mount your phone on an Xbox controller. That’s much better.

Asus continues its focus on gaming phones by releasing the ROG Phone 5, the fourth smartphone in the series. As much as the company may have tried to make the ROG Phone 5 for everyone, it still remains a gaming phone first, with most of the features being of little to no use for non-gamers. The air triggers work with little to no latency while the addition of trigger buttons to the AeroActive cooler is definitely going to shave some milliseconds off your aim-shoot game.

Designing and selling a gaming phone is far from easy, and Asus knows it well. The ROG Phone 5 tries hard to make an impression with features like a 144Hz screen, virtual controls, louder speakers, a DAC-powered headphone jack, better cooling and so on. In a way, the ROG Phone 5 comes close to defining a dedicated gaming smartphone. That said, Asus’ flagship phone too comes with flaws. There is no water resistance rating and the phone lacks a microSD slot and wireless charging. It’s also large and heavy, plus the camera is average. If you want a premium gaming smartphone that is slightly different both in looks and appeals and can stomach Rs 57,999, this deserves a look.

That being said, the ROG Phone 5 comes with its fair share of compromises too, and from its sizable form factor to its sub-par cameras and lack of any sort of weather-proofing, the smartphone will make prospective buyers second-guess their purchase decision.

Should you upgrade from the ROG Phone 3? I don’t see the need yet as the Snapdragon 865+ is still powerful by today’s standards. Unless you want the new design, Snapdragon 888, and faster charging rate, other than that, maybe you should wait for the ROG Phone 6. But even then, if you decide to pull the trigger on the ROG Phone 5, you wouldn’t regret it.

The ROG Phone 5 is a fourth-gen gaming phone. ROG stands for the Republic of Gamers. And this year, Asus knocked it out of the park. This isn't a major redesign but rather a round of significant tweaks that make this phone another step closer to an "ideal" that Asus has been chasing since 2018. Every improvement from the Gorilla Glass Victus on the screen and updated speakers to relocating cooling elements to the middle of the phone are done with the goal of making the ultimate gaming phone.

I tend to gauge this question based on how I feel about a device when I’m packing up the review device to return it. In this case, I was disappointed to see it head back so yes I would buy one. I really enjoyed the complete experience that I got from the ROG Phone 5.

So yeah, if you are still reading, you will notice that most of my complaints about the ROG Phone 5 is its support for accessories. The ROG Phone 5 itself is one excellent gaming phone, but as with the ROG Phone 3’s missing headphone jack, it seems that ASUS just has to mess something up this generation, and that would be the new pogo pins.

The Asus ROG Phone 5 isn't going to take over the smartphone world, but it is a perfect example of a niche device that should flawlessly serve the mobile gamers who it is targeting. With the rise of game streaming services, we are seeing new worlds of games open up to mobile gamers beyond what's available in Google Play, which is itself improving.

The ROG phone 5 is a pretty expensive and powerful gaming smartphone. Its lost the iconic aerodynamic hump from the previous 3 versions of the phone, and now the ROG 5 has added dual batteries so it can charge faster. But will that compromise the Structural integrity of the ROG 5? I mean... yeah. You've seen the thumbnail. The ROG Phone five definitely has some structural issues....

With just a handful of niggles, the ROG Phone 5 is no doubt the most impressive gaming phone we’ve ever reviewed. With a handful of well-thought-out gaming features, as well as unbeatable performance in a variety of Play Store titles, the ROG Phone 5 is definitely worth a consideration if you’re aren’t keen on the mainstream. It’s a bit of a shame that the excellent Kunai GamePad and AeroActive Cooler are sold separately, though, and that there isn’t a preorder offer at launch. Pair the ROG Phone 5 with these accessories, and there’s really no better mobile gaming experience at the moment, especially if you’re dreaming of becoming the next mobile eSports superstar.

From the front, when the phone is powered off, there isn't much to notice about the new Asus ROG Phone 5. But on the back, when its logo lights up to contrast its black dot-matrix pattern finish with hot pink '80s punk rock highlights, you can't help but take notice. Seriously, you just need to play some Blondie or Talking Heads to complete the effect.

It's only been a little over seven months since ASUS launched its ROG Phone 3 gaming smartphone, but the company is already releasing a follow-up model to join Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 party. The latest series is dubbed ROG Phone 5 (skipping the "4" due to tetraphobia; you obviously don't want to associate gaming with death), and while it may appear to merely don some minor cosmetic changes, the innards have been completely revamped for better heat dissipation, weight distribution and audio performance. As a bonus, there's also a Pro model plus a limited edition ROG Phone 5 Ultimate, with the latter boasting a whopping 18GB of RAM.

The ROG Phone 5 is an excellent smartphone, combining a premium screen, killer specs, a decent camera, long-lasting battery life and fantastic stereo speakers. Its styling won’t be for everyone – and it’s very similar to the ROG Phone 3, which enjoyed a more limited release – but if you can hack its size and styling, and want a fantastic portable media player and gaming device, you’ll be hard-pushed to find more for less.

If you’re after the world’s most powerful gaming phone that also happens to function as a smartphone equivalent of a Swiss Army knife (take calls, snap photos, texting), and is a hardcore mobile gamer playing mobile games that do take advantage of the ROG Phone 5’s superiority (e.g., the games I mentioned earlier) to elevate your mobile gaming experience, then the question of pricing is moot. There's really just the ROG Phone 5, or perhaps the ROG Phone 3 (if the price drops as expected).

The ROG Phone 5 takes the already great formula established by its predecessor and modernizes it for 2021. It has a fast and fluid screen, a surprisingly great main camera, brilliant performance, best-in-class audio, and a flexible software experience. For those reasons, the ROG Phone 5 is the best gaming smartphone you can buy right now.

The Asus ROG 5 is the best gaming smartphone you can buy with design features and software perks that augment the playing experience. Incremental improvements on its predecessor make it a superior choice that make the phone appealing to non-gamers as well, from its good screen to great speakers to unseen internal refinements that let its 65W fast charging juice the phone from zero to almost full in under an hour. It’s still a pricey handset with notable camera shortcomings compared to rival flagships, but the ROG 5 is a recommendable alternative to top Android phones if you don’t mind its few flaws.

Perhaps Asus is amidst some business "reorientation" here. Shifting focus away from end users and extravagant accessories to capture headlines and laser-focusing on delivering pro tools for the e-sports contestants and organizers exclusively. It seems to be too early to tell. Overall, we feel like the ROG Phone 5 is a truly excellent phone, still on a level of its own when it comes to mobile gaming profess, but one unfortunately experiencing some "changes" this year that managed to rub us the wrong way.

In our charging test, the ROG Phone 5 indeed proved to charge impressively fast, going from zero to 100% in just 57 minutes, which is significantly faster than high-profile flagships like the Galaxy S21 Ultra and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The ROG Phone 5's charging speeds also beat its own predecessor, which took 103 minutes to fully charge in our testing.

ASUS faces competition from newcomers like Lenovo and existing brands like Red Magic and Black Shark, yet they’ve still managed to pump out the best gaming smartphone year-on-year. While the ROG Phone 5 may not be the most affordable gaming smartphone you can pick up this year, there’s little doubt it’ll be the best one you can get. Every component and software feature of the ROG Phone 5 was designed for gaming, and there are even bells and whistles like the ROG Vision that you won’t find on any other smartphone. The accessories are all top of their class, too. The ROG Kunai 3 remains unmatched in its versatility, and the AeroActive Cooler 5 trounces the similar coolers you can pick up from other gaming brands what with its extra ports, buttons, and integrated kickstand.

The latest ROG flagship delivers the best audio performance of all the phones we have tested to date, with consistent results and category-leading sub-scores in both Playback and Recording. While it isn’t the loudest nor the strongest in bass we’ve measured to date, the Asus ROG Phone 5 still constitutes an excellent choice for nearly any use case you might need it for — from listening to music, gaming, or watching movies, to recording in all types of configurations and environments.

Its beautiful and smooth 144Hz OLED display will allow for quick reactions during gaming, while its powerful dual stereo speakers will surround the player with rich and clear sound, just like the previous ROG Phone did. But is this phone really such a jump from the ROG Phone 3 that it warrants skipping a number and naming it the Asus ROG Phone 5?

The ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is the spearhead of the series and the only model that can draw on 18 GB of working memory. The monochrome Vision display on the back is supposed to exude a classy flair, and the sensor keys on the back expand the gaming controls.

The Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is an all-out gaming smartphone with dedicated high-end hardware. Asus hasn't cut any corners when it comes to performance, and some might also find 18GB of RAM overkill. The crisp high-refresh-rate AMOLED panel, stereo speakers, and capacitive AirTriggers make gaming more engaging on this smartphone. However, camera performance isn't the best at this price, which could turn away people looking for an all-rounder. If you want a purpose-built gaming phone and you don't mind splurging, the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is the best you can get in the market right now. It does not have any direct competitors but you can get much slicker flagship phones at this price. If you don't want to spend Rs. 79,999, the base Asus ROG Phone 5 at Rs. 49,999 offers more value for your money.

Like every gaming phone I’ve checked out yet, the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is stuck in this weird place of being a very capable device that somehow delivers on its many promises, yet it still doesn’t feel worth the money. For average people who play the occasional game, either directly from their phones or through game streaming services, buying a cheap clip to fasten a controller to your phone will probably be a good enough solution. There are also some comfortable controller setups for iPhone and Android (like Backbone’s Go and Razer’s Kishi for iOS and Android) that can turn most phones into more of a Nintendo Switch-like experience that requires less fuss and far less of an investment than Asus’ ROG Phone 5 Ultimate.

If you only care about a premium mobile gaming experience, then the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is for you. It has insane power, ridiculously long battery life, and all the features and gimmicks you could want. But it’s not as good as the best phones, thanks to those subpar cameras, which limits the ROG Phone’s appeal outside of gaming circles.

Just like it says on the exquisitely crafted box, the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate from ASUS is indeed the “ultimate” gaming smartphone of 2021. And not just by default, after the exit of Razer from the gaming phone space and the paucity of gaming-centric competitors in the North American market. No, the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is the king of gaming phones because of a potent combination of perks, polish … and panache. It’s a gaming phone that even filthy casuals like MrMobile can love – and love it, I do.

The Asus ROG Phone 5S Pro offers a solid gaming experience and long battery life, but it's outshone by rivals including the Red Magic 7 Pro that offers a more responsive display and better performance at almost half the price, making it hard to recommend in 2022.

So that's everything there is to know about the latest ROG gaming smartphone. Asus ROG Phone 5s Pro is one of the best gaming-focused smartphones so far in 2022, and if you're a die-hard gamer, it's the most capable and strongly recommended gaming-centric phone available. I believe the technology in this phone is future-proof for at least the coming five years, thanks to the in-display fingerprint scanner and futuristic design. If you don't want to spend the money on an iPhone or a foldable smartphone, the ROG Phone 5s Pro is the one to get. Overall, despite its high price, I can recommend the Asus ROG Phone 5s Pro, especially if you're a serious mobile gamer. Furthermore, all of the primary elements like design and performance are just so smooth, making it a perfect choice for anyone whos looking for a new phone.

There’s very little difference between the ROG Phone 5 and the 5s variants aside from the slight bump in processing power as we found in our review of the phone in the Philippines, so who exactly is the ROG Phone 5s Pro for? Well if you’re looking for the most overpowered phone that you can buy for gaming or are upgrading from a 2-year old flagship, then this phone is for you. Still, you’ll have to have deep pockets to enjoy this overpowered monster, though if you do pull the trigger on the ROG Phone 5s Pro, you can expect it’ll be future-proofed enough to last you three years, maybe more.

Like its predecessor, the Asus ROG Phone 5s Pro is a highly capable gaming phone with top specifications, an impressively rapid display, and useful additional hardware controls for dedicated gamers. Little details like a bundled cooling fan with extra hardware buttons help set it apart from its rivals, while an absolutely gigantic battery provides impressive stamina. However, the price feels a little excessive when the Nubia Redmagic 6S Pro provides a very similar package for not much more than half the money.

It’s weird that ASUS released the ROG Phone 5s Pro just 8 months after it released the ROG Phone 5 Pro. And the difference is not that significant. Just a higher-clocked chipset and bigger RAM. If you own the ROG Phone 5 Pro, I don’t think you’ll notice the difference in performance. If they offer the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate at a lower price, I think I might get that one instead. Those coming from the ROG Phone 3 or buying a gaming smartphone for the first time will probably benefit from this option. All in all, the ROG Phone 5s Pro is a great gaming phone for 2021. It’s a weird release, but great nonetheless.

This is one of the best smartphones of 2021, and if you are an ardent gamer it’s the most powerful and highly recommended gaming-centric handset on the market. However, the high price and the less-than-flagship camera system means this is a phone that won't suit everyone.

Asus has always dominated the premium gaming smartphone segment from the start. The Asus ROG Phone 5s and 5s Pro smartphones also follow the same legacy and offer remarkable features that unlock the processing limits. From which, you can take the gaming session to the next level without any interruptions from hardware or software issues. Overall, you’ll get everything you need in a gaming-centric smartphone and meet the needs of all gamers. Anyway, you can choose which one you think this device will satisfy your desire to play. But on the other hand, if you’re looking for something affordable, you can also check the ZTE nubia Red Magic 6s Pro phones that add value for money.

Everything else from the ROG Phone 5 review still applies to this ROG Phone 5s series, by the way. All the accessory compatibility and its features, they’re all still the same. Here’s a quick refresher for you. Because of how few changes (only one, let’s be honest) there are between the ROG Phone 5 and the ROG Phone 5s series of smartphones – to the point that even the prices are the same – I’ll give the ROG Phone 5s Pro the same award.

All of this being said; honestly, we would probably go for the older device, given a direct choice between the vanilla ROG Phone 5 and the new ROG Phone 5s. However, we understand the justification for the switch to the Snapdragon 888+ and all things considered, we believe few could have pulled it off better than Asus.

The 65W charging power combined with the aggressive charging strategy can keep the mobile phone powered at any time. The 6000mAh battery can be fully charged in about 60 minutes, which may be the strength of Tencent’s ROG gaming phone 5s Pro. For gaming phones, pure stacking is far easier than polishing software. Tencent ROG gaming phone 5s Pro achieves the top level of hardware while polishing the software to the extreme. If you are a hardcore mobile game player, Tencent ROG gaming phone 5s Pro will be your choice.

Since we've already reviewed the ROG Phone 5 and its Ultimate Edition and there aren't many changes here, we have a good idea what this new phone is about. It's most definitely worthy of our recommendation. The 5s Pro, even with its hefty price, succeeds its predecessors at the top spot among gaming phones. It's a premium offering, sure, but it's compatible with the best ecosystem of gaming accessories, and the software is probably the most polished one in town, too. That's as much as we can say before our full review is ready.

Asus's gaming smartphone got updated once again this year. New devices come with the Snapdragon 888+, and the product line now includes only three models. Read our review to learn about the new features and whether or not the devices are worth buying.

The ROG Phone 5s is an excellent phone, that can easily handle anything you throw at it in daily life. It’s got really high specs, plenty of RAM and has a distinct look to it that may be a little “flashy” for some, but isn’t out of place even in professional settings. Probably the biggest problem with it is that it is quite big. If I had to sum this up in a single sentence it would be that the ROG Phone 5s is a stunning device that excels at almost everything with software that doesn’t invade heavily on the experience of the phone. Provided you don’t mind the camera not keeping up with $2,000.00 flagships this may well be one of the best buys of 2022 so far. At the time of publishing this review, the ROG phone 5s is down to $1,199.00 from $1,499.00 at JB Hi-Fi. Even at full price, I’d be happy to recommend this to a lot of users.

If you're a gamer and the ROG Phone 5s fits in your budget, there's no reason you shouldn't buy this beast smartphone over everything else on the market. The ROG Phone 5s is an obvious option because it is not only one of the coolest-looking smartphones on the market, but it is also one of the most powerful smartphones money can buy.

Asus has launched the ROG Phone 5s at a starting price of Rs 49,990. For the price, the smartphone has a lot to offer in terms of performance, features and overall experience. It’s a ROG Phone after all and no doubt it lives up to the brand name. But, there are certain things that Asus could have done better here. For instance, they could have at least launched the smartphone with the latest Android operating system or offered the new 50MP primary sensor in the phone. So, the question to be asked here is whether you should buy the ROG Phone 5s or wait for the next ROG Phone or look for something else in the market. The simple answer is that, if you are looking for a smartphone for gaming on a sensible budget, then ROG Phone 5s will bring that smile to your face. It offers all the features that a gamer would ever need in a smartphone be it in terms of performance, game-centric features or display. It is an incremental upgrade so don’t go looking for all-new design or features but even without that this is a solid gaming smartphone.

The ROG Phone 5s is quite a device. It has one of the best displays on a smartphone, sheer power, gaming-centric tweaks, and hours of battery life. My only concern is that it’s a large phone and its camera system is not comparable to other high-end phones. The ROG Phone 5s shows Asus’ faith in developing a gaming-focused smartphone even when every smartphone is a gaming device. A phone like this is total overkill for most but it does have a niche audience who are open to the idea of a mobile gaming rig in the smartphone form factor.

You have the Realme GT at Rs. 37,999 that offers a similar 90fps gameplay. Then comes the OnePlus 9RT at Rs. 42,999 with support for similar gaming settings. The difference, however, is the consistency. In a gaming session that extends over an hour, the ROG 5S continues to deliver frame rates from where it started, whereas its competitors face engine stalls after some time. On the other side of the spectrum, you also have the iPhone 12, which sells around Rs. 55,000 for the base 64GB model. Yes, we agree that the iPhone 12 has the potential to deliver smooth 60fps gameplay, but it drags in the OS priority of Android vs. iOS. Also, you won’t get 90fps support on the iPhone 12. Now that’s something even the Android counterparts of ROG 5S offer on the table. The ASUS ROG Phone 5S is indeed a true gaming phone that can run longer marathons. The device is a good match for you if gaming is your topmost priority. The styling on the ROG 5S may also attract some users who may not game much.

The Asus ROG Phone 5s runs ROG UI on top of Android 11, and my unit had the September 2021 Android security patch. The UI is highly customised and the look should appeal to gamers more than the average user. You do get a few apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and Netflix preinstalled, apart from the usual suite of Google apps. These can be uninstalled to free up some space. The Asus ROG Phone 5s has impressive hardware and is aimed squarely at gamers. There isn't any direct competition in the market for it, and Asus is simply building on its lead in this segment. With only small differences between the ROG Phone 5s and its predecessor, you'd be better off choosing the newer model, since prices are officially the same – unless you can find the ROG Phone 5 on sale while it's still in stock. I will address these queries in the full review of the Asus ROG Phone 5s, coming soon.

The ROG Phone 5s handles most of the things very well including performance, haptics, audio and especially gaming. However, disappointments including the tint in the display, average cameras, heating, no timely updates and a bulky design collectively lead to a conclusion that the ROG Phone 5s might not be your choice at this price. We asked the question if the ROG Phone 5 is going beyond gaming, and at that time, it seemed like it did. But ROG Phone 5s is proof that it didn’t move beyond gaming. You may buy the phone solely for gaming but that is it.

What’s more, the device offers a stunning display too and the smartphone’s audio setup is in a league of its own as well. But, you could say the same for the ROG Phone 5 too, which launched a while ago. Furthermore, the smartphone can’t hold a candle to devices from OnePlus and Xiaomi’s stables, which offer similar performance for less. Lest I forget, the handsets also feature faster charging speeds, as well as more versatile cameras. In the end, the ROG Phone 5s could face an uphill battle in the Indian market, especially considering that the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 backed smartphones are just around the corner.

The 'S' version of the ROG Phone 5 may be marketed as a gaming phone - and it is a wonderful one at that - but it's also just a fantastic all-round device. That means it's great for consuming media and doing pretty much everything else - it even has one decent camera. With its big, bright and speedy refresh screen, it's a brilliant phone for watching movies, while its combination of practical choices like a big battery, superb audio and a headphone port mean it's got everything you need to ensure that power isn't wasted at any time. In the end, the ROG Phone 5S is a great gaming and media phone - but it's tricky to see any tangible reason for it to exist when there's already the earlier ROG Phone 5 model.

Whether you get the ROG Phone 5 or the ROG Phone 5s Pro, you’re getting the best gaming phone ecosystem in the Android camp. Does Asus make the best gaming phone of them all? That’s debatable. Apple’s iPhones get iOS’s gaming catalogue, which is more polished than that of Android, and there are gazillions of iPhone gaming accessories. With Asus making quality gaming accessories for its phone – an excellent controller and a smart fan and kickstand, as well as loading the ROG Phone 5s Pro with nifty touch-sensitive buttons, it’s definitely the one for out and proud gaming nerds. Factor in the levelled-up RGB lighting, a plethora of ports and mighty audio options, and nothing comes close. Where the Asus ROG Phone 5s Pro drops the ball is its camera. Is it bad? Definitely not. Can you get more for less? Absolutely; not least of all in the Google Pixel camp. So there you have it; if media playback and gaming is your thing, you consider yourself a gaming nut and you don’t mind spending big to get the most extra phone on the block

The smartphones from the Asus ROG Phone 6 Series have emerged as the most powerful gaming phones available right now. They offer impressively high performance, efficient cooling and special gaming features. Asus has now released a limited Diablo Immortal Edition of the phone.

The Asus ROG Phone 6 Batman Edition costs a little more than the ROG Phone 6D. Undoubtedly, the Batman Edition provides additional accessories and a few handfuls of perks with a customizable Batman theme. But apart from these factors, the phone doesn’t stand out that much from its sibling, if we remove the fact the US variant got Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Overall, it’s not a bad deal if you are a Batman fan, and want to get this special edition. However, if you are not a fan, then we would suggest you go with the normal version. Besides this, the Asus ROG Phone 6 is also a great alternative for an immersive gameplay experience with lots of customization options. So, make the final call according to your need.

The Asus ROG Phone 6 is quite a good device, with a display that is uniform in brightness and color. In addition, HDR10 videos are pleasant to watch, thanks to good management of brightness and contrast. The gaming experience is globally good, as the device is accurate and responds quickly to touch when playing video games. However, its lack of high brightness mode means that the ROG Phone 6 is hard to read under sunlight; further, its transitions are slow and show steps as it adapts to falling light transitions.

There are loads of options when it comes to gaming phones in 2022, but I believe the regular ROG Phone 6 is the best for most people. It excels at the fundamentals, delivering stellar performance, a stunning display and great battery life. With decent cameras, two USB-C ports and even a headphone jack, there’s a lot to like here. However, it’s not perfect, with a lack of wireless charging and poor software update commitment the most prominent. You’ll also need to connect a fan for long gaming sessions. But none of these are dealbreakers for most people, and the ROG Phone 6 provides such a well-rounded experience elsewhere. If you’re serious about gaming on your phone but just want the best core experience, this is the phone to buy.

Asus’ latest ROG Phone 6 is like a super deluxe version of a smartphone. From the hardware point of view, I think Asus has nailed the concept of bringing a powerful gaming phone into your pocket. There are a lot of good ideas that have gone into making the ROG Phone 6, like creating a “mobile gaming” ecosystem through first-party accessories. But that’s where the peak comes, making it difficult for Asus to transcend the formula of creating the most powerful gaming phone that might have worked for certain consumers in the past. After working on six generations of gaming smartphones, the ROG Phone 6 should have looked like a Steam Deck, a device that has successfully brought PC gaming into the handheld form factor.

With expected upgrades when it comes to gaming, Asus did surprise me with a quality primary camera this year in the ROG Phone 6. It offers good performance in daylight and has decent low-light quality which is rare when it comes to gaming smartphones. To a gamer who's main priority is playing games along with having excellent battery life, this might be enough. To a regular consumer, the camera performance isn't the best when compared to similarly priced flagships such as the Vivo X80 Pro (Review). This phone too has good gaming performance (minus the frills of the ROG of course), shoots excellent photos and is a lot more pocketable despite having a large display. It also gets you an IP68 rating. While the phone will not appeal to casual gamers and regular buyers, the Asus ROG Phone 6 is still the only phone in the market to offer this level of hardware and software customisation, which only professional gamers will appreciate. Get one if you are dead-serious about mobile gaming and don't mind lugging this phone around. For those who still want a premium gaming smartphone but don't want to spend as much, last year's Asus ROG Phone 5s from Rs. 49,999 is still a good choice.

When ASUS asked if I’d like to review the Diablo Immortal Edition of the ROG Phone 6, I of course said yes. I am a huge Diablo fan and I was curious to see what sorts of cool things ASUS came up with for the design of this phone. This is ASUS’s second co-branded ROG Phone 6, having previously released a Batman version. And as this is a co-branded product, it features a unique Diablo Immortal-themed design inside and out. What I mean by that is it features a unique graphic on the back with special detailing, and comes with some special Aura RGB lighting, as well as themed fingerprint scanner animations, wallpapers, and notification sounds. It even comes in themed packaging designed after game-related elements, and comes with matching themed accessories including a case, a leather rollup pouch for storing your charger (with a map of Sanctuary on the back), and Fahir’s Light, which is really just a small flashlight for revealing invisible ink (more on that later, because it does come into play). All-in-all, it’s a neat experience for anyone who’s a fan of Diablo Immortal. Even if you don’t like the mobile game and are a fan of the Diablo franchise in general, the phone still serves as a cool collector’s piece. For the most part, this is the same as the regular ROG Phone 6. The specs haven’t changed. So this review will focus mostly on the aspects unique to this Limited-Edition version of the phone.

It should come as no surprise that ASUS’ smartphone making chops are on full display here. However, we weren’t expecting this smartphone to be this good. Frankly, whenever we see the word “gaming” or “gamer” added to a product we worry that it’s a mask for shoddy performance hidden behind RGB lighting and harsh angular designs. Thankfully, ASUS has taking gaming to mean “high performance” and that’s exactly what the ROG Phone 6 is. The camera could use some work but with mobile gaming as big as it is and cloud gaming becoming more pervasive, a phone like this is going to become more popular in the coming years. While it’s not perfect, the ROG Phone 6 has decent specifications, a monstrous battery and it’s incredibly well priced at R22 999. We can easily recommend the ASUS ROG Phone 6, so much so that we’re eyeing one ourselves.

The Asus ROG Phone 6 showed outstanding autonomy in factory default mode in our battery tests. The device lasted more than three full days during the typical usage scenario (TUS), placing it among the best in our database. The same excellent experience was repeated in calibrated mode, especially when playing games and streaming videos. During the on-the-go tests, the device had very good autonomy when calling but a lower one when scrolling on social apps. The 65W charger took less than 1 hour to fully charge the device, which was decent for the large 6000 mAh battery. A quick 5-minutes charge yielded 6 hours and 2 minutes of additional autonomy, which was above the average in our database. The charger efficiency was decent, and the power adapter efficiency was excellent. This charger consumed little power when the device was fully charged and still plugged in, but its consumption when the device was unplugged was higher than average. The Asus ROG Phone 6 had low discharge currents during all our test cases. However, when scrolling social apps, the discharge currents were high. Compared with devices from the same price range ($800+), the Asus earned the top score thanks to its excellent autonomy. Charging and efficiency were good, too.

With a DXOMARK Audio score of 155, the Asus ROG Phone 6 just misses out on the top spot in our ranking and earns itself an excellent second place. It also improves by four points over its already very good predecessor ROG Phone 5. Audio performance is impressive overall, especially in Playback. Some minor niggles, mainly in the Recording department, kept the Asus from making it to the very top. As a playback device, the Asus shines — unsurprisingly for a gaming phone — especially when playing games. It’s also great for listening to music or watching movies, though, thanks to a rich and balanced timbre as well as excellent performances in the dynamics and spatial attributes. Audio artifacts are very well controlled as well. On the downside, our testers found slightly too much emphasis on the upper bass in relation to the low-end extension. Artificial bass distortion could do with some fine-tuning as well as our test listeners found it too noticeable. When using the Asus for recording sound, it delivered the best results with the main camera but the front camera came very close. Results are slightly less convincing with the default recorder app. Still, overall recording performance was excellent, with great timbre, a rich and bright tonal balance, impressive wideness and good localizability of individual sound sources. Wind noise reduction was very effective as well. On the downside, the frequency zone around 10 kHz can be too prominent, especially with the recorder app, resulting in hissing and aggressive sibilances. There is also some room for improvement at high sound pressure levels where our testers noticed some recording artifacts, including fairly severe pumping in the low end, and objective measurements at maximum loudness are poor. Handling the device during recording can result in finger noises ending up in the audio files.

Gaming phones are always powerful, but they're seldom polished. The ROG Phone 6 is both, matching best-in-class performance with effective cooling and a rich selection of accessories. While we wish Asus went a bit further with the camera and wireless charging, there are enough standout and unique highlights here to make it the best gaming phone available at launch.

The Asus ROG Phone 6 builds on a winning formula of solid specs, familiar styling, and a well-thought-out accessory line. Its ecosystem is one you can really buy into, and the phone is great in day-to-day use, with loads of smart, gamer-centric customisations and software flourishes. The result: a gaming phone that beats out the competition – and rightly so given the fact it's pricier.

Gaming phones are always powerful, but they're seldom polished. The ROG Phone 6 is both, matching best-in-class performance with effective cooling and a rich selection of accessories. While we wish Asus went a bit further with the camera and wireless charging, there are enough standout and unique highlights here to make it the best gaming phone available at launch.

Overall we're fairly impressed with the ASUS ROG Phone 6 Pro. This redesign is eye catching and functional, and we really like the Storm White aesthetic with integrated display accents. This definitely feels like a more polished smartphone than last year's model, which we also liked. Our only real gripe is that it's such a large device, which also kind of comes with the territory in true gaming phone. On the software side, ASUS Armoury Crate is still excellent as it applies to gaming and system-side tweaks. However, the ROG software setup may not be for everyone, though—some may prefer the classic Zen UI model over the ROG UI. But it's also yet another distinguishing aspect and one that's geared towards the phone's target market of gamers. What this all translates into, in our opinion, is that the ASUS ROG Phone 6 once again solidifies itself as the one of, if not the best gaming phones on the market right now. ASUS tells us pricing will start at $999.99, which while not cheap, is in line with most flagship smartphones wielding similar specs.
