Asus ROG Phone 5s Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Asus ROG Phone 5S Pro - for generous gamers

ROG products of the Taiwanese company Asus from the very inception were aimed at people who could not imagine their life without games. Gradually, the gaming community has found a haven in the field of Android entertainment. The hero of today's review is one of the most expensive gaming phones today, but is it worth the overpayment?

The appearance of the novelty is not devoid of many beautiful features, but in an expensive flagship device I would not like to see such noticeable upper and lower frames of the AMOLED screen. At the same time, the futuristic coloring of the rear panel with an asymmetric texture, an additional color display and a stylish triple photomodule significantly transform the exterior of the device. The only pity is that the aforementioned mini-display has a minimum range of functions. The main 6.78-inch AMOLED panel is complimentary. The highest parameters of brightness and contrast are flawlessly combined with a resolution of 2448x1080 pixels, no less important advantages will be the refresh rate of the picture at 144Hz and the sensor response at 360Hz. As a result, we get not only a smooth image, but also the perfect responsiveness of the touch panel. The in-screen fingerprint sensor is also good.

Technical characteristics in the face of the most powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ processor, record 18GB of RAM and the Adreno 660 graphics accelerator are another reason to praise the productive device, but the smooth launch of Genshin Impact, Tank Company and other resource-intensive projects would not have been possible without a well-developed cooling system. I would also like to note the precise touch trigger buttons on the side metal edge. The volume of internal storage has reached the limit of 512GB of UFS 3.1 format, and therefore the lack of a microSD card slot is not perceived as a disadvantage. Helps you get more enjoyment from movies, music and applications loud stereo speakers, the ability to connect wired headphones.

64-, 13- and 5-megapixel cameras are still the weakest side of the gadget, because the manufacturer saved on optical stabilization, and the main Sony IMX686 photosensor cannot be called technological or innovative. Thus, it is realistic to count on daytime photography with an excellent amount of detail, but getting an evening shot without an excess of noise sometimes turns into a difficult task. The doubling of 4K video when shooting in low light is also not one of the advantages of cameras. But the 6000mAh battery can only be praised, because it charges up to 100% capacity in about an hour and gives about one and a half days of active use of an Android smartphone. There is no wireless charging, as well as moisture protection, which is definitely frustrating. Does the phablet deserve the requested money? The answer depends on how much you love Android games.
