Asus ROG Phone 5S And 5S Pro Finally Arrive In US

Due to a global chip shortage, the number of phones available is likely to be limited. Don’t put it off if you want one.

Gaming phones are, by definition, out of the ordinary. They’re packed with power, RGB lighting, buttons, ports, and some even have two screens – but if you’re searching for the most extra gaming phone of them all, look no further than the Asus ROG 5s series.

The ROG 5s series from Asus was released in Europe earlier this month. The two top-of-the-line gaming smartphones are now on their way to the United States. The Asus ROG Phone 5s and ROG Phone 5s Pro are currently available for $1,099 and $1,299, respectively, on Amazon.

512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM are included in the ROG Phone 5s. The ROG Phone 5s Pro, on the other hand, has 18GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The 5s Pro is only available in black, unlike the 5s, which comes in both black and white.

The GameCool 5 cooling system with AeroActive Cooler 5 helps to keep things cool. The amount of RAM available is up to 18GB. There’s also the Armory Crate, which gives you the most bang for your buck.

Let’s go over the main specifications and features of both phones.

The ROG Phone 5S and 5S Pro first went on sale in Taiwan in August, before making their way to European markets in early November.
