ASUS Republic of Gamers officially launches the ROG Phone 5s and ROG Phone 5s Pro in the Philippines. The gaming phone series will be available in the country this December 2021.
The ROG Phone 5s Pro with 18GB+512GB is priced at Php 59,995. While the ROG Phone 5s 16GB+512GB and 12GB+256GB variants will go for Php 49,995 and Php 42,995 respectively.
The ROG Phone 5s series is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ 5G which packs industry-leading innovations in 5G, AI, gaming, and camera technologies. The Snapdragon 888+ comes with a Kryo 680 CPU Prime core clock speed at up to 3.0 GHz and the 6th generation Qualcomm AI Engine.
It comes the GameCool 5 cooling system which has the optimum thermal structure featuring a centered CPU with the battery split into two parts, one located on each side of the CPU. This ensures that the heat generated by the CPU is transferred to all the edges and corners of the chassis simultaneously for higher thermal efficiency.
The series boasts an improved AMOLED HDR display with a 360Hz touch-sampling rate, 144Hz refresh rate, and a 1 ms response time for a super-smooth gaming experience, with an ultra-low touch latency.
It has the renowned GameFX audio system, incorporating symmetrical seven-magnet dual speakers for truly balanced stereo sound effects. There’s also a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a hi-fi-grade ESS DAC for lossless audio processing.
It also comes with the AirTrigger 5 control system with 10 different motion controls that give gamers up to four distinct ways to interact with their ROG Phone 5s.
To extend both screen-on time and the lifespan of the monster 6000 mAh battery, ROG Phone 5s series is optimized using software optimizations and power-saving mechanisms, including a charging upper limit, steady charging, and enhanced scheduled charging. Rapid charging is assured by the bundled 65-watt HyperCharge adapter, which gets gamers up and running again in the fastest possible time.
The ROG Phone 5s Pro takes it up a notch with the exclusive ROG Vision, a pioneering rear matrix display unique to the ROG Phone lineup.
ROG Vision can display a variety of cool animations that show whether the phone is charging, if there’s an incoming call, whether X Mode is enabled, and more. Owners can even create custom animations to make their phones even more personal.
