I purchased rog 5s recently. It was my worst mistake. Suddenly the wifi IP stopped working. Hotspot and wifi were dead. I went to service centre for compensation and they rejected. And after 2 days the entire hardware went dead. The customer care service were asking 50k for motherboard replacement. Worst phone ever. Worst service ever. My money got wasted. Below average phone. I highly recommend not to purchase it

            I chose this over the ultimate version, boy i sure hope i didnt make the wrong choice. Its rare to find the ultimate version, saw a used one for usd1000, but bought a brand new 5s pro for usd1110 instead.

                Naima Kennedy, 06 Sep 2021Not worth an upgrade. Even the screen is still only HD+.... more2k will only put more strain on the battery and gpu

                  Very bad phone I say
                  You can see at real life ROG 5 perform better than ROG 5s Pro because ROG 5s Pro produced more heat than ROG 5 and it's make it more throttle compared to ROG 5
                  ASUS should upgraded their cooling system too and not only focused to increased performance which is useless because it can't maintain it's performance for a long time because the heat will makes it throttle

                    rizki1, 07 Sep 2021$500? I mean the launch price is around €800 = $950. Also r... morecheck gsmarena price list for rog 5 you can see, since rog 2 era Asus and tencent patner and they offer 8gb/128Gb version for around $500 to $600.

                    and its gaming phone not rugged phone, you can always put case,you need gaming feature more than ruggedness.

                        -low input lag, so phone respond very fast when you game, especially in pvp.
                        -quad antenna, whatever you handle phone you will hide just 2 of them, means you get good network without worrying how you handle your phone.
                        -multiple USB port for different accessories.
                        -accessory like dock, active cooling, gamepad etc.

                          Not worth an upgrade.

                          Even the screen is still only HD+. Need at least 2K and preferably 4K. Battery also needs to be 7000 mAh.

                            gaming phones should be focused only on screen, cpu and battery. no need good camera, gg above 5 or even victus, nfc, wireless charging etc. if those spec removed maybe the price can be reduced for over $300. i like a gaming phones like a xiaomi just simple gaming phones with price about $500 than this rog over $1000.

                              Anonymous, 04 Sep 2021Both the ROG 5 and 5S have the same 6,000 mah battery.Your are correct my mistake

Thats why i suggested burnout benchmark which tests cpu, gpu, dsp and npu. This cpu throttling test cant put any stress on the gpu.

                                    Hemedans, 04 Sep 2021Even Apple suffer same problems though, A14 is worse than A... more Apple silicon is throttling because it puts out plenty performance on the first few seconds or minutes of a benchmark.. but yeah, thats my point, the SD 870 is better value than the 888 because the 888 is made by Samsung not TSMC

                                        Throttle, horrible build quality and ugly aesthetics.
