Asus ROG Phone 5 specifications (expected)

The Asus ROG Phone 5 appeared on various certification sites last month that suggested its key specifications. The phone was also spotted on benchmark app Geekbench in 16GB and 18GB RAM variants.

As per the details available so far, the Asus ROG Phone 5 is speculated to run on Android 11 and include a 6.78-inch display as well as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC. It is also likely to have an 8GB RAM option — alongside 16GB and 18GB variants. Further, the ROG Phone 5 may include a dual-cell 6,000mAh battery that could support 65W fast charging. The phone would measure 172.83×77.252×10.29mm.

Separately, tipster Ishan Agarwal has shared some renders of the Asus ROG Phone 5 — suggesting a design similar to that of the ROG Phone 3. The phone appears to have a dot matrix-style section that could support customisable experiences like the Zephyrus G14 laptop. There are also two USB Type-C ports — one is at the bottom and the other one is at one of the sides of the phone. A 3.5mm headphone jack is also visible in the renders.

The Asus ROG Phone 5 may come along with a few gaming accessories, including an updated AeroActive Cooler. The phone may also get two distinct colour options: black/ grey and white. The earlier ROG Phone models, however, had just one colour variant.
