Asus has launched its latest gaming-centric phone, the Asus ROG Phone 5. The latest gaming device comes equipped with class-leading specifications and improvements in the performance quarter. Asus is also offering different versions of Asus ROG Phone 5.
Asus ROG Phone 5 Features and Specifications
We felt Asus had named the versions in a rather confusing manner. The Asus ROG Phone 5 is available in three variants A, B, and C. The A variant lets you choose between 12GB of RAM or 16GB of RAM alongside 256GB internal storage. Furthermore, the B version comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, while the C variant can be had in 8GB/128GB or 12GB/256GB.
Asus is not stopping at half a dozen variants. Also on offer is Asus ROG Phone 5 Pro with 16GB RAM and 512GB of UFS storage. ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is the top-of-the-line variant with 18GB of RAM 512GB of storage. Sadly 1TB storage and microSD card are not part of the offering.
The entire Asus ROG Phone 5 lineup is powered by Snapdragon 888. Backing the device is a split 6,000mAh battery. Thanks to the split design, Asus could bring the motherboard closer to the center of the phone.
