Last week, ASUS released the first teaser of its upcoming ROG branded gaming smartphone. The teaser suggests that the next-generation ROG Phone will be sporting an improved display design. A tipster from China recently revealed that the battery capacity and fast charging capabilities of the ROG Phone 4. Now, a Weibo user has shared a live shot of the smartphone to reveal its rear design.
The tipster who shared the live shot of the new ROG Phone has claimed that the device could be called ROG Phone 5. The reason behind it is the presence of number 05 at the center of the back panel. This suggests that the Taiwanese company may skip the number 4 to launch its next gaming phone as the ROG Phone 5.
The design language of the alleged ROG Phone 5 is not very different from its predecessor models. However, the ROG brand logo is now placed at the bottom-left corner of the back panel. There is a red-colored button on the lower-right corner of the phone’s frame. It could be a one-click key to enter the game mode. At the top is a horizontal camera module that houses a 64-megapixel main camera that is equipped with quad-Bayer technology.
There is no confirmation of the authenticity of the image. Hence, it is advisable to wait for newer reports to know about its exact design. The rumor mill is yet to leak concrete information on the specs of the phone.
All that is known so far is that the ROG Phone 5 could be packed with a 6,000mAh battery. The handset is likely to arrive with support for 65W fast charging. It goes without saying that it could be powered by the Snapdragon 888 SoC. It is likely that the phone may launch as early as next month.
