Republic of Gamers (ROG), a premium sub-brand of Asus, has announced the launch of its ROG 5s series in India. The company has introduced ROG Phone 5s and 5s Pro as the latest upgrade to its ROG Phone series.
The ROG Phone 5s series is fuelled for winning by the flagship Snapdragon® 888 Plus 5G Mobile Platform, featuring advanced 5G capabilities and premium Snapdragon Elite Gaming™ features. The processing power is complemented by up to 18 GB of fast LPDDR5 RAM. The optimized and upgraded GameCool 5 cooling system with AeroActive Cooler 5 (fan accessory bundled with ROG Phone 5s Pro only and optional for ROG Phone 5s), and the performance manager in Armory Crate ensures maximum performance is available for any gaming scenario.
Commenting at the launch, Dinesh Sharma, Business Head, Commercial PC and Smartphone, System Business Group, ASUS in India said, “We are constantly innovating and aiming to provide only the best and premium features in our Ultimate Weapons for Smartphone Gaming i.e. ROG Phone, to our ROG community. We are thrilled to launch two new additions to the ROG family – ROG Phone 5s and ROG Phone 5 Pro to upgrade the cutting edge capabilities we offer for the mobile gaming ecosystem.”
Arief Mohamad, Senior Director – Mobiles, Flipkart said, “At Flipkart, our constant endeavour is to make the best products with the latest technology accessible to every customer across India and our partnership with ASUS India is in line with this. With the launch of the ROG 5s series, we are bringing a superior experience to a wider community of gamers, as we continue to cater to growing premium smartphone needs.”
The 144 Hz / 1 ms AMOLED display used in the ROG Phone 5s series now boasts an upgraded 360 Hz native touch-sampling rate[i] and upgraded ultra-low 24ms touch latency for a super-smooth, seamless and ultrafast gaming experience. Additionally, the ROG Phone 5s Pro features a colour version of the innovative ROG Vision rear matrix display, which shows customizable animations in response to a variety of system events.
The pioneering and still-unrivalled AirTrigger 5 control system now supports the two rear capacitive touch sensors on ROG Phone 5s Pro, giving mobile gamers more control capabilities in their games. The ultrasonic shoulder side sensors on both models also support dual gestures, such as tap-and-slide or tap-and-swipe, for total control.
ROG has also teamed up with some of the most popular game titles to give ROG Phone 5 and 5s series owners a collection of different theme packs[ii] that they can use to turn their ROG Phone into a truly unique gaming device.
For those who dare
The flagship Snapdragon 888 Plus 5G Mobile Platform powering the ROG Phone 5s series provides boosted high performance, superior AI processing speed and multi-gigabit class Wi-Fi 6[iii] to take the mobile gaming experience to the next level. With the clock speed now up to a blistering 3 GHz[iv], the CPU performance is designed to deliver matchless mobile processing power. ROG Phone 5s Pro also feature up to 18 GB of fast LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of fastest UFS3.1 storage to dramatically increase the overall gaming performance.
To enable maximum sustained performance, the upgraded GameCool 5 cooling system in the ROG Phone 5s series has an optimum thermal structure featuring a centred 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 re-shaped 3D vapor chamber and extensive graphite sheets also help to spread the heat evenly across the device to reduce heat build-up in the middle. The AeroActive Cooler 5 intakes and expels an incredible amount of air directly onto the centre of the phone — right where the CPU is — to deliver an amazing up to 10°C drop in the CPU temperature[v].
The performance manager in the Armoury Crate app includes our famous X Mode, with multiple system profiles to give gamers even more performance settings and performance tuning tools, so they can instantly adapt the phone to the task at hand.
