Asus’ ROG Phone line has established itself as the leader in the gaming phone world and after several leaks and listings, we finally get official confirmation of the name of the next ROG model. As expected, Asus will skip the number 4 which holds a bad tribute across Asia and instead launch the ROG Phone 5 towards the end of next month, as a teaser poster revealed.
ROG Phone 5 confirmation
The name of the ROG Phone 5 was confirmed in a Weibo article celebrating the three-year partnership between Asus and Tencent. The announcement itself makes it clear that we’ll likely see a Tencent Edition ROG Phone 5.

The ROG Phone 5 is expected to arrive with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset and up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. We’re talking about a massive 6000mAh battery with a 65W load and a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. We will apparently see at least two versions of the ROG Phone 5, including one will have a small screen on the back while the other will have a clean back.
