There is still a debate over whether the next Asus game phone will be called the ROG phone 4 or the ROG phone 5, but whatever the moniker is, the device is now in a Chinese regulatory filing appears – with photos showing it from all sides. .
The documents published by TENAA give us the best look at what we are going to call the ROG Phone 5 for the time being (partly because you can actually see a number 5 on the back of the handset).
It also looks like we’ll get a dot matrix screen on the back of the Asus ROG Phone 5, similar to the one on the Lightning Armor case for the ROG Phone 3. These newly leaked images show the Asus ROG logo, but we take to that it can be adjusted.
Apart from the decoration on the back, it seems that not much has changed in terms of the appearance of the ROG phone compared to the 2020 version. The SIM card slot looks like it has a red cover, but it may be an exclusive option for this particular version of the phone, apparently manufactured in partnership with Tencent Games.

The photos connect neatly with some live footage we saw recently from the upcoming device. It looks like there could very well be a customizable LED lighting strip that can fit with the dot matrix range, all ready to give the phone a striking aesthetic.
We have also seen a set of benchmarks appear online that we believe is linked to the Asus ROG Phone 5, which shows its credentials in terms of power and performance. The phone should carry the Snapdragon 888 chip, the flagship chip that is the best choice for Android devices this year.
Other information we can get from this regulatory submission is a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, Android 11 on board and a sturdy 6,000 mAh battery – that should be enough to provide enough juice for gaming sessions, and fits the capacity offered on the Asus ROG Phone 3.
As for the jump over the 4 straight to the 5, which seems increasingly likely, it’s all because the number 4 in China and Taiwan is considered unlucky – and that’s not something Asus wants to get in the way of any potential. do not come. sales.
