Asus ROG 5s Specifications Leaked Online Before Launch, See Details

Asus Rog Phone 5S specifications have been revealed online, despite the lack of official confirmation about its exact launch date. The Taiwanese electronics company announced the Rog Phone 3 in the first half of last year. The Rog Phone 5 lineup of gaming smartphones was confirmed earlier this year. If recently surfaced information is anything to go by, Asus could launch the Rog Phone 5S soon.

In March, the smartphone maker unveiled the Rog Phone 5, Rog Phone 5 Pro, and the Rog Phone 5 Ultimate limited edition. Earlier this year, the Rog Phone 5 went up for pre-order in India at INR 49,999 (about $672) via Flipkart. These handsets pack the Snapdragon 888 SoC under the hood. The phone sports a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz. Now, the company is gearing up to introduce a new entrant in the Rog 5 lineup dubbed, the Rog 5S.
