“ROG Phone 5 Series, which is an improvement from the success of ROG Phone 2 and 3. ROG Phone 5 Series comes with improvements in various aspects,” said Jimmy in a written statement, Monday (14/6).

For game visuals, the ROG Phone 5 Series is equipped with an AMOLED HDR10+ 144Hz/1 ms screen made by Samsung with a touch sampling rate of 300 Hz and a touch latency of 24.3 ms. With these specifications, the Asus ROG 5 screen is claimed to be more responsive.

Heat setting
Asus also updated the cooling system in the ROG Phone 5 series by placing the CPU in the center of the device and dividing the battery into two parts.
The two batteries are intentionally placed on either side of the CPU to spread the heat generated to every corner of the chassis. To reduce heat buildup, Asus has also created a 3D vapor chamber out of graphite sheet to help disperse the heat.
The AeroActive Cooler 5 cooling system is also centrally positioned for air in and out of the CPU location. Asus calls the temperature drop in this way can reach 10 degrees Celsius.
