And since the past few years, it has made itself familiar with mobile gaming as well, thanks to the ROG Phone lineup. This year, as expected, we get the torchbearer for the series - ROG Phone 5 and if you are familiar with the lineup, you already know we are talking about a no-compromise smartphone that has top of the line specifications, features that you hardly see in any other flagship premium, and all this while sporting a design that appeals to gamers. With ROG Phone 5, Asus has managed to pull off all this, and a bit more. So, we got our hands on this gaming smartphone that costs ₹49,999. But can we call that hefty? Or something that justifies the needs of gamers, while giving them a price tag that seems just about right? Read on...Design and display‘Refined’ is the word that is best suited for the ROG Phone 5 gaming smartphone’s design and looks. Like it has been the case since the first ROG handset, Asus has been tweaking the look regularly every year while managing to keep the ROG feel intact. It’s exactly the same case this time around as well. If you have seen ROG Phone 3 last year, at once you will know ROG Phone 5 is from the same family, just more polished. The edges are curvier and the entire back is just one smooth slab of glass (except for the camera bump). And the accents are still there with the ROG logo and certain design art.Although it looks more premium and less aggressive, it might be something that hardcore mobile gamers might not be a huge fan of. They might want to stick with a more gamer-centric geometric cut design instead of a premium and smooth feel. However, the red accent on the power button, at the back and on the SIM card tray does give it a distinguished appeal.
