Asus unveiled the ROG Phone 5 series in March 2021. The lineup was soon followed by the ROG Phone 5S series in August. However, the newest family of gaming smartphones from the Taiwanese PC maker did not make its way to many markets. Six months after its announcement, the handsets are now scheduled to debut in India.
Asus has confirmed to launch the ASUS ROG Phone 5S series in India on February 15. Flipkart will be the official online retailer of the devices like the previous generation of ROG Phones and ZenFones.
The ROG Phone 5S family consists of only two models, namely ROG Phone 5S and ROG Phone 5S Pro. For the unaware, the ROG Phone 5 has three models, such as ROG Phone 5, ROG Phone 5 Pro, and ROG Phone 5 Ultimate.
As far as specifications are concerned, the newer smartphone duo is identical to each other. They only differ in terms of rear design (dot-matrix RGB LED vs ROG Vision PMOLED display) and two additional touch sensors on the Pro.
Other than that, they have the same 6.78-inch FHD+ 144Hz AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chipset, up to 18GB LPDDR5 RAM, up to 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, 64MP + 13MP + 5MP triple camera setup, 24MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, 3.5mm headphone jack, 2 x USB Type-C ports,5G connectivity, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, in-screen fingerprint sensor, ultrasonic shoulder triggers, Android 11-based ROG UI, 6,000mAh battery, and 65W fast charging.
