Asus ROG Phone 5 is the epitome of how much you can do with a phone when you are not caring about making the thinnest phone.
Asus launched the ROG Phone 5 just yesterday. But this time, the ROG Phone range does not have a single smartphone. There are three smartphones spread across various price ranges, the standard ROG Phone 5, the ROG Phone 5 Pro, and the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate. The differences between these three smartphones are clear, so you do not end up getting confused. And the best part about all three phones is that they all are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset, meaning all three phones offer the same level — which is the highest in the Android world right now — of performance.
Despite having the same processor and a couple of other specifications, the Asus ROG Phone 5 smartphones are still very much different. And the ROG Phone 5 Pro and the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate are the most important ones in the series because they bring out the best that you need in a gaming phone. Below is the comparison between these two phones in terms of their specifications and their price.
Asus ROG Phone 5 price in India
Asus ROG Phone 5 price in India has been set at Rs. 49,999 for the 8GB + 128GB storage variant, while the 12GB + 256GB storage model is priced at Rs. 57,999. Asus ROG Phone 5 Pro carries a price tag of Rs. 69,999 for the sole 16GB + 512GB storage configuration. Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate comes at Rs. 79,999 for the 18GB + 512GB storage combination. Asus ROG Phone 5 features Phantom Black and Storm White color options in a glossy finish, whereas the ROG Phone 5 Pro has a Phantom Black shade and the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate will be available in Storm White in a matte finish.
