ASUS has introduced the the ROG Phone 5s and 5s Pro, the immediate follow-up to the Phone 5 series that came out just last April.
The ASUS ROG Phone 5s and 5s Pro are powered by the more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus processor with up to 3.0GHz clock speed with its Cortex-X1. There’s also the AI Engine that got an extra 20% boost.
You can get the Pro model with a whopping 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. That easily overshadows the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate. Plus, it features a color PMOLED screen on the back and two rear touch sensors that can be used as game controls.
The vanilla ROG Phone 5s settles for an RGB-back-lit logo on the back, a 16GB/256GB top-tier model, an two ultrasonic AirTrigger 5 shoulder buttons.
These newer models also has the fastest displays on a mobile device. They have 24.0ms touch latency with a 360Hz touch sampling. The display size, panel used, and resolution is essentially the same.
