As a game phone, when you know the attributes of this product, several words will naturally appear in your mind: large battery, top performance, large screen, ultra-high refresh rate, super heat dissipation, virtual key operation, and exclusive deep cooperation with various games.
yes, ROG5 has all these key points, and this time it is more refined.
The specific configuration parameters of Tencent ROG mobile phone 5 are as follows:
1. Appearance
On the outer packaging box, ROG5 adopts an ingenious hexagonal packaging box, which is like a treasure box in a game, and contains a treasure that all gamers want.
after opening the packaging box, the printed pattern on the inside of the packaging box is also buried with a menu. After opening the console of the intelligent control center on the mobile phone, the cartoon pattern on the packaging box is scanned, and the old cartoon memory AR appears, which is both second-rate and passionate, and it can really reach the point that gamers love deeply.
the inside of the box contains a 65W power adapter +Type-C to C data cable (12cm), Aura protective case, card fetching needle, ROG Gaming sticker, instruction manual and warranty card.
With the popularity of Apple, some mobile phones began to cancel the random charger. As a game phone, ROG5 obviously won't do such a thing. This is equivalent to giving a soldier a full set of equipment to go to the battlefield, but not giving him ammunition. It is also said that a real warrior can make everything a sword. This is not environmental protection. This is a proper pit.
ROG5 is equipped with a 6.78-inch Samsung AMOLED esports screen, which is made of E4 luminescent material and supports DC dimming, so the upper and lower borders still exist, and the screen ratio is 2.4: 9. ROG indicates that this is an aspect ratio specially designed for games. In addition, this screen supports a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and a touch sampling rate of 3Hz, with a peak brightness of 1,2 nits and HDR1+.
the hole-digging screen is the mainstream of the current mobile phone, but it is obviously not the mainstream of the game phone. Because any point that interferes with the game player's screen line of sight may affect the war situation, ROG still did not use the hole-digging screen design to improve the screen size this time, but chose a complete full-screen screen without hesitation, and it must be a straight screen.
As a game phone, the lens configuration is obviously not so concerned for gamers, but it can't be sloppy. ROG5 adopts a three-lens design on the rear lens. The three lenses are Sony IMX 68664 million pixel main camera+13 million pixel super wide angle+5 million pixel macro, which is actually not bad, and for the game phone.
The back shell is one of the outstanding designs of the ROG5. This time, the ROG5 has also added a lot of exclusive game optimizations. For example, the AirTriggers 2 2 shoulder keys and the two sliding waist keys on the back of the fuselage can realize six-finger control, and the machine will also be equipped with a cool fan as standard. The fan comes with two mechanical back keys, and with the previous six fingers, it can realize up to eight-finger control at most.
a ROG Vision personalized window has been added on the back, which supports customization, six scenes and various preset effects, bringing all kinds of lights that gamers like to a new height.
ROG5 has also put some thought into charging this time. It has a Type-C interface on its side and bottom, which both support charging, but the two interfaces can't charge at the same time. In addition, the charging speed can be adjusted in the settings to limit the upper limit of charging power (the upper limit is 1W), so as to meet the demand of protecting the battery. However, for a game mobile phone with a capacity of 6mAh, few people should turn on this mode.
There is an exposed interface on the left side of the fuselage, which is used to install the cool fan that comes with it. After installation, it is like adding water cooling to the computer, and the temperature of the mobile phone will drop instantly, and the touch will become cold, which is the unique and exclusive advantage of the game mobile phone.
second, the system
ROG5 runs a ROG 5. professional game UI based on Android11.
The first thing about this UI is that it is different from all mobile phones in color matching. Dark+red and similar colorful bright colors are its main colors, which can be shocked by the color matching at the moment when the mobile phone is turned on. This is really a special feature for gamers.
this year, ROG5 has made great efforts to create a theme atmosphere for the game. Styles including animation screen lock, dynamic wallpaper, icon, sound, incoming call animation, information screen clock, etc. have all been increased, and the display of third-party notification icons is supported. From the diversity and ease of use, it has improved the experience for players, and players can download it in the ROG mobile forum pre-installed on their mobile phones.
In addition to its appearance, I'd like to focus on the game hall here. After all, it's a game phone, so you should be clear about the priorities.
This is the location where all the games in the mobile phone are displayed. Click to enter the game, and you can set the performance, display, touch and network of the game. Players can share their preset combinations and load the game configurations of other gods from social platforms such as forums.
Game Settings 5. can be set exclusively for each game, and various factors that have a key impact on the game, such as touch, display, performance, audio and network, can be customized, so as to ensure the best performance of each game, and balance between performance and battery life to prolong the game time, which is under the control of players.
in the "performance" section, users can choose to set a higher priority performance mode for this game to override the default performance mode selected in the intelligent control center-console; Or choose between the three levels in "e-sports adjustment"; It can also be controlled more accurately in the "hard core adjustment". "Hard-core adjustment" has a simplified version of "hard-core adjustment" for CPU, GPU, RAM performance and temperature control upper limit, which is easy for users to understand.
the "core liberation" in "hard core adjustment" can set the parameters such as CPU/GPU/IO at the bottom of the system. You can get comprehensive performance tuning without root.
Another thing to say is the adjustment of light and light effect. As a game mobile phone, ROG5 not only has AURA magic light and light effect, but also adds a ROG Vision personalized window in the high-end version, so that users can switch on and off in the relative program and adjust up to six scenes (X mode, bright screen, incoming call, charging, starting the game, external device). You can also share personalized animations or load personalized animations made by other players.
In short, as the favorite lighting effect of gamers, ROG5 has not only added a new and more cool display direction, but also added sharing settings, so that more players who like such settings can socialize deeply. After all, players in the world are one family.
Third, taking photos
There is a saying in the street that a game phone can scan the code. This sentence is ridicule, but it is also true, because people who choose to buy this category of mobile phones are obviously well aware of the needs for taking photos, and it will never be very high, just simply meet the daily use.
ROG5' s three-lens combination has stood the test of the market, and there is absolutely no problem in using it to meet daily needs. Let's look at the proofs directly.
As can be seen from the proofs, ROG5 still tends to be realistic in the style of photo training, that is, whatever you shoot is what you want, and neither the camera nor the screen will make transitional adjustments to the photos. The white flowers and the light blue background look very comfortable, and you can also feel the cloudy state of the day. The corners of the building are not excessively sharpened, the color contrast is not high, and the camera's straight-out style is obvious. The advantage of this photo is that it will be more convenient to adjust it later.
ROG5' s camera is not equipped with telephoto lens, so it only supports 2x zoom at most, and the actual imaging effect is as follows:
.6x ultra-wide-angle proofs:
1x zoom proofs:
2x zoom proofs:
The tone of telephoto and ultra-wide-angle photos is the same as that of normal shooting proofs. Moreover, although many mobile phones have added a zoom of up to 12 times, in the actual use scene, it seems that the frequency of this opening is not high, and 2 times seems to be a focal segment that is often used.
Comparison of proofs of off and on night view mode of ROG5 camera:
In night view mode, the camera imaging of Rog5 camera is very interesting. In comparison of the first set of proofs, the photo on the right is actually a photo with night view mode on, but it seems that the name is brighter on the left. The contrast of the night scene mode of the second group of proofs is obvious. The picture on the right is not only high in brightness, but also much better in picture definition than that on the left, which is more in line with the needs of taking pictures in night scene mode. Not to mention the comparison of the third set of proofs, not only the whole picture is brighter, but also the green saturation of the green leaves on the grass is obviously higher and greener, and the lighting part is not blurred and overexposed, which is very comfortable.
IV. Performance
As a model that once ranked first in the overseas Android mobile phone performance list for half a year, and a game mobile phone produced by ASUS with the title of "the eye of the prodigal family", the ROG5 is absolutely superior in performance, and it is equipped with the golden combination of Snapdragon 888 mobile platform +LPDDR5+UFS 3.1, and in terms of RAM, ROG5 has even completed a "feat" on the mobile phone. It is equipped with up to 18G RAM, which is by far the largest mobile phone in the world, which is larger than many people's computer memory. Let's look at its running score data.
according to Ann Bunny's running score test, the running score of this ROG5 with 18+512GB version in my hand is 747,129, the CPU score is 194,161, the GPU score is 322,351, and the storage test score is 6,393.
Snapdragon 888+LPDDR5+UFS 3.1' s performance iron triangle combination has been adopted by many mobile phones under the tide of new machine release in March. It is natural to have such a score. Some people may wonder why as a game mobile phone with such a strong configuration, there is not a big gap in scores with conventional mobile phones with similar combinations.
This is determined by the quality of the game hardware. No matter how high it is, there will be an upper limit. The point that the game mobile phone pays attention to is not to make the score higher, but to make the player be able to control the heat dissipation more conveniently and for a long time when using the mobile phone to play games, such as larger battery capacity, adding virtual shoulder keys and fans, which is the biggest difference between the game mobile phone and the conventional mobile phone.
v. Games and batteries
The ROG5 is equipped with a battery as high as 6mAh, so its body thickness reaches 1mm, that is, the thickness of 1cm, and its weight reaches 238g g. However, for a gaming mobile phone, this thickness and weight may make it easier for players to hold it, because it is too light and does not feel like falling, and it is not comfortable enough to use.
according to the author's personal test, after the 3-minute game time of Peace Elite, the battery of ROG5 was reduced from 59% to 46%, and the power was cut off by 13%. The game screen of Peace Elite supported to turn on the high frame rate mode of 9Hz, and because of the cool fan blessing provided as standard, the temperature during the whole game did not exceed 4, and the frame rate was stable at around 9 frames, even if there were many people.
In Genshin Impact, another game, after 3 minutes of game time, the picture quality was all up to the maximum and limit, and the refresh rate was 6Hz, the power consumption of ROG5 decreased by 22%, from the initial 96% to 74%. The back clip of the cool fan was used throughout the game, the frame rate of the game was stable at more than 5 frames, and the maximum temperature of the game display under the multiplayer battle screen was less than 45. Compared with the previous time when the author played Genshin Impact with a conventional mobile phone, this.
In terms of charging, the ROG5 comes standard with a fast charge of 65W, and of course, it comes with a data cable and a charging head. Moreover, in order to take care of gamers, they can play games while charging, and the side frame of the mobile phone can also be charged. In the actual charging situation, the ROG5 starts charging from 1% of the remaining power of the mobile phone, and it can fully charge the power of 6mAh in 53 minutes, and it can reach 61% in 2 minutes.
VI. Summary
Since ASUS brought the first ROG gaming phone, there has been a legend in the industry. This is not only a powerful gaming phone, but also a sharp weapon for ASUS to spread the eye of the prodigal family to more users. Moreover, after reaching a cooperation with tencent games, the price of ROG gaming phone has also started to drop significantly. The minimum starting price of this generation of ROG5 is only 3,999 yuan, so you can take it.
I have always felt that the gaming mobile phone has two attributes. The first is of course the exclusive adaptation optimization for playing games and various games. The other is that its starting price is often not very high, which can make many people with less budget buy it with strong performance and better appearance.
