ASUS Malaysia has just revealed the new ROG Phone 5s series smartphones during the live stream just now.
Touted as the upgraded version over the standard ROG Phone 5 lineup, these new devices sports everything just a little bit better. For example, it now hosts a panel capable of reaching 360Hz of sampling rate for faster input capture and the SoC is the binned and more powerful Snapdragon 888 while keeping its identity intact with the same set of cameras, colors, and more. Basically, it is just the ROG Phone 5 series but with more horsepower and probably having a better bang for buck ratio.
Here’s a list of summarized specs for the 2 new members of the ROG Phone family.
- 6.78-inch AMOLED Display
