ASUS Malaysia has just revealed the new ROG Phone 5s series smartphones during the live stream just now.
Compared to the standard version, the 5s lineup now sports minor upgrades of various nits and bits particularly in the display where the sampling rate has been jacked up to 360Hz for a more responsive experience, and the SoC within is now the more so powerful Snapdragon 888+ with the RAM and storage staying pretty much the same. If you already own the standard edition, you are still good to go but for those looking to really blow some cash on a premium gaming smartphone, these are the better option as they have the same starting price as the standard versions back then. More bang for the buck it seems.
Here’s a list of summarized specs for the 2 new members of the ROG Phone family.
