Going the listings, Asus volition be arming the ROG Telephone five with a total of vi,000 mAh bombardment chapters. We've seen this number previously rumored and it's the same size as the cell in the Asus ROG Telephone three. However, the Chinese MIIT list reveals the new phone actually contains two 3,000 mAh batteries instead of a unmarried large bombardment like the ROG Telephone 3 did.

This arrangement should mean nosotros see much faster charging speeds, because the 2 batteries tin fill up simultaneously from the same ability input. This is how the 65W charging arrangement works on the OnePlus 8T to great effect, filling that phone's 4,500 mAh battery to 93 percent full in but 30 minutes.

The listings further reveal that the brandish is a half-dozen.78-inch AMOLED console. That's a little larger than the ROG Phone 3's half dozen.6-inch brandish. Asus will likely go along the aforementioned 144Hz refresh charge per unit that the ROG Telephone 3 had for some other smooth gaming experience on the ROG Telephone 5.

The screen still features a peak bezel for the selfie camera, rather than a notch or punch-pigsty arrangement. Information technology's not quite the full-screen brandish that a teaser from Asus seems to propose, only having a portion of the screen removed for the camera isn't helpful when gaming.

The images from the TENAA entry, posted past the_tech_guy on Twitter, clearly testify the "05" on the dorsum of the handset. This all but confirms the phone's name as ROG Telephone v.

We can too see here the dot-matrix lighting array from a previous leak in the center of the back. This is less colorful than the RGB logo on the previous ROG phones but looks to be a lot more customizable when it comes to shapes and movement.

While it's inappreciably a surprise, the listing too confirms that the ROG Phone 5 will use Android eleven.

Although the last telephone in the series was the ROG Telephone 3, this phone is not called the ROG Phone 4. That'south due to the number 4's association with bad luck in certain Asian countries.

If the ROG Phone five follows the launch schedule of the ROG Telephone 3, then look it to launch in July, but not accomplish the U.S. until October. But given the amount of information that'due south already leaked, it'south possible the launch will exist taking place a lot before this year.

The ROG Phone three sits proudly at the top of our best gaming phones list. Based on these and older leaks and rumors, the ROG Telephone five has every gamble to inherit that position.
