Asus is gearing up to unveil the ROG Phone 3 successor very soon. The company has already teased the device, which is expected to boast a familiar design and 65W fast-charging, on Weibo earlier this month. It will most likely be called ROG Phone 5 (and Asus will skip the number 4, just like OnePlus, as it’s considered an unlucky number) and more details for this gaming smartphone have leaked online today.
Asus ROG Phone 5 Design
A listing for ROG Phone 5 has been spotted on the Chinese certification site TENAA today. It not only gives us a first official look at the upcoming gaming phone but also reveals some of its key specifications. The device looks pretty much the same on the front. You have minimal bezels at the top and bottom to house the selfie camera and stereo speakers. They also provide a grip for gaming, as per Asus. It is, however, the rear panel that should interest you more.

The TENAA listing reveals that ROG Phone 5 carries the model number Asus_I005DA and will measure 172.83 × 77.2 × 10.2mm. That’s slightly taller and thicker than ROG Phone 3. The device is rumored to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support.

This could have been one of the several prototypes that Asus worked on before, most likely, settling on the Dot Matrix display variant. The company could still go with either of the two. So, we suggest you take the leaks with a grain of salt. It will be interesting to see which design the company picks for the Asus ROG Phone 5.
