The Asus ROG Phone line-up has often been regarded as the king of gaming phones, and for good reason. They are specs monsters, offer great gaming-specific features, and have flashy aesthetics that speak to the gamer demographic. These factors have never been better with the <\/span>Asus ROG Phone 5<\/span>, the newly-announced flagship gaming phone that is also the successor to the ROG Phone 3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But Wait… Where\u2019s The Asus ROG Phone 4?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In case you\u2019re wondering, the number four sounds like the pronunciation for \u201cdeath\u201d and \u201cdie\u201d in the Chinese language. Though <\/span>Asus<\/span><\/a> did not specifically mention it, we can safely assume that to be the reason for Asus to skip the ominous number altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n

This move has a precedent. <\/span>OnePlus<\/span><\/a> also skipped the number four when naming the successor to the <\/span>OnePlus 3<\/span><\/a>, and jumped straight to the <\/span>OnePlus 5<\/span><\/a>. Now you know.<\/span><\/p>\n

The highlight of every ROG Phone design is often at its back with its glowing logo and geometric lines. The ROG Phone 5 takes things up a notch by including a \u201cmatrix display\u201d that can be customised to show a variety of cool and custom graphics and animations. <\/span>ROG Vision <\/span><\/i>(as the feature is called and only available on the Pro and Ultimate variants) can also be configured to light up whenever there\u2019s an incoming call or when the phone is charging. Nifty.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may also notice the bright red or blue (depending on the phone\u2019s colour scheme) SIM tray. Inscribed on it are the letters \u201cGLHF\u201d, which gamers may know stands for \u201cgood luck, have fun\u201d.

Gaming phones\u2014much like top flagship phones\u2014are all about the big numbers. A high refresh rate, lots of RAM, and a huge battery are the name of the game. And the ROG Phone 5 delivers them in spades.<\/span><\/p>\n
