Asus ROG 6 Ultimate full review and specs

Asus continues its focus on gaming phones by releasing the ROG Phone 5, the fourth smartphone in the series. As much as the company may have tried to make the ROG Phone 5 for everyone, it still remains a gaming phone first, with most of the features being of little to no use for non-gamers. The air triggers work with little to no latency while the addition of trigger buttons to the AeroActive cooler is definitely going to shave some milliseconds off your aim-shoot game. The display offers an astounding refresh rate of 144Hz on an OLED panel, which is very impressive. the colour accuracy is also pretty good on two of the four display profiles. Unfortunately, the ROG Phone 5 fails to be more than a gaming phone, with its mostly average camera, lack of IP rating and the fact that the hardware that powers the ROG Phone 5 can now be found in other smartphones as well. Given the rise in popularity of mobile-based gaming tournaments, the ROG Phone 5 makes perfect sense for the competitive gamer or even a casual gamer for that matter. But for anyone who was looking for a well-rounded package, the ROG Phone 5 ain't the one BUY NOW https://ern.li/OP/eg2kpj6sjww

Their motherboards, PC cases, accessories and now smartphones continue to sport the most head-turning designs. The Asus ROG Phone 5 continues that tradition, while also being engineered with gaming in mind. This year, the ROG Phone 5 doesn’t get a special chipset like last year, but instead, is infused with a boatload of features that are designed to make your gaming experience and performance top-notch. Does the phone deliver on that promise? We find out BUY NOW https://ern.li/OP/eg2kpj6sjww

ASUS ROG PHONE 5 PERFORMANCE REVIEW The Asus ROG Phone 5 is all sorts of beastly when it comes to the hardware. At the heart of the Asus ROG Phone 5 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, a chipset that’s also found on the OnePlus 9 Pro, OnePlus 9 and even the Vivo X60 Pro+. Our review unit also comes with 12GB LPDDR5 memory and 256GB of ultra-fast UFS3.1 storage. Interestingly, none of these pieces of hardware are unique to the ROG Phone 5 which is a bummer since the previous ROG phones included at least one unique component that no one else got. What this does is produce synthetic benchmark and real-world gaming performance numbers that are in line with other smartphones powered by the same hardware. You can see that in the charts below.C https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGSPAlXXOmM Where the ROG Phone 5 does excel over its similar spec’d brethren is with respect to throttling. After 15 minutes of running the CPU throttling test, the Snapdragon 888 on the OnePlus 9 Pro throttles down to 84 per cent while the same chipset on the Asus ROG Phone 5 throttles down to just 93 per cent. This speaks volumes about the new cooling capabilities of the Asus ROG Phone 5, and that’s without the new AeroActive cooler installed. This is not even with X-Mode enabled, which is a whole different beast, which we will get into . BUY NOW https://ern.li/OP/eg2kpj6sjww

ASUS ROG PHONE 5 SOFTWARE REVIEW While the hardware on the ROG Phone 5 isn’t anything special, the engineers over at ROG have put in extra effort into the software that allows you to control the performance metrics. All of it starts with the Armory Crate software, which houses multiple profiles. You can choose between X-Mode, the most popular profile alongside Dynamic, Ultra Durable and Advanced. The advanced profile allows you to tweak the CPU-GPU and thermal limits, allowing you the very peak performance you’d want from this phone. Do note that if you do decide to use X-Mode or the Advanced profile with everything cranked up to 100. In the Armory Crate, you can control the fan speed of the AeroActive Cooler, set the preferences for the multitude of air triggers and motion control settings. This is the starting point of where the ROG Phone 5 starts to differentiate itself from the competition.

The phone itself features the much loved ultrasonic triggers. This allows you to map on-screen buttons to these shoulder buttons, which comes in very handy when playing shooters. There are also motion control gestures as well, a whole 10 of them that you can configure. Personally, I have not yet found a game that would utilise them, but that’s not to say they’re not useful. Better to have it and not need it than not have it and need it. If the shoulder buttons we’re enough, this year’s AeroActive cooler gets two trigger buttons as well. I’ve found these to be my favourite mod for playing CoD Mobile, where it makes zooming through the reticle and shooting a lot simpler. Last but not the least, you’ve got the Kunai GamePad 3, which essentially converts the ROG Phone 5 into a handheld gaming console, very similar to the switch. The only exception is, the Kunai GamePad controller 3 comes with far too many buttons that you’d know what to do with. The cool thing about this GamePAd is also the fact that you can either slot the phone into it or use the controllers docked to its battery cradle, turning into an Xbox-like controller. You could potentially run a USB-C to HDMI converter from the USB-C port on the AeroActive cooler and get the output on your TV. We managed to game for a while on our LG CX 48-inch OLED with the ROG Phone 5 as the source, and while the visuals do look amazing, there is a slight delay in the video signal being relayed from the phone to the TV. Hopefully, Asus can fix this with a software update. The previous generation ROG Phones had a mobile gaming dock accessory that allows you to get the output on a monitor/TV and also use a keyboard-mouse combo for gaming. Unfortunately, that accessory gets no mention time around, leading us to believe that the implementation was less than perfect.

While all these different controllers, buttons and gestures can feel intimidating, the software experience of mapping them to a function is surprisingly simple. Just fire up your game, slide from the screen left to bring up the gaming console, and then choose “air triggers” to map the ultrasonic and the triggers on the cooler, or choose “key mapping” to map the Kunai GamePad 3’s buttons. The Game Engine will store the mapping profile for whatever you configure, for every game that you do it for. So once you’re set, you just need to fire up your game and you’d be ready to go.

It is a massive 6.78” OLED display with an FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of up to 144Hz. Asus also claims 111% DCI-P3 coverage and 150% sRGB coverage, which, well, sounds great on paper, but comes with a number of unpleasant catches. The ROG Phone 5 features four primary display profiles, which we’re going to break down here.
