While Asus introduced three versions of the ROG Phone 5 at launch time a few months ago, the top-end ROG Phone 5 Ultimate has only made its way to India now. All three are purpose-built for gaming, with top-of-the-line hardware including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and shoulder-mounted AirTrigger buttons, among other uncommon features. The base version of the ROG Phone 5 is certainly powerful, but as its name suggests, the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is absolutely loaded to the gills. I put the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate to the test to see if it is now the best gaming phone out there.
Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate Summary
The Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is a big smartphone with a big 6.78-inch display. With the Asus ROG PHone 5 Ultimate you also get ultrasonic triggers at the back. Asus has also added an additional USB Type-C port on the side to charge the phone while gaming. It has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus at the front and Gorilla Glass 3 at the back. The ROG Phone 5 Ultimate feels bulky given its size, and its 238g You get a clip-on AeroActive cooler and a 30W charger in the box.
Asus has picked the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC and paired it with 18GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. It packs a 6,000mAh battery and gets a 30W charger in the box. The ROG Phone 5 Ultimate runs Android 11 with Asus's own ROG UI on top.
The ROG Phone 5 Ultimate has a triple camera setup consisting of a 64-megapixel primary camera, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 5-megapixel macro shooter.

Low-light camera performance was good and the phone automatically enables long exposure shots which made Night mode redundant.
