The GameCool 5 cooling system on ROG Phone 5s has an optimum thermal structure featuring a centered CPU with the battery split into two parts, one located on each side of the CPU. This ensures that the heat generated by the CPU is transferred to all the edges and corners of the chassis simultaneously for higher thermal efficiency. The re-shaped vapor chamber and extensive graphite sheets also help to spread the heat evenly across the device to reduce heat build-up in the middle.
AeroActive Cooler 5 intakes and expels an incredible amount of cool air directly on the center of the phone - right where the CPU is - to deliver an unbelievable 10°C* drop in the CPU temperature.

To achieve low-latency gaming and ultra-responsive inputs with reduced chance of accidental touches, the 144 Hz / 1 ms Samsung E4 AMOLED display on ROG Phone 5s now boasts a 360 Hz native touch-sampling rate, to give you a super-smooth, seamless gaming experience. The supreme visuals are enhanced even further with world-beating color accuracy and always-on HDR technology that improves non-HDR visuals, along with a screen that's protected by the toughest ever Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus. ROG Phone 5s is built to endure - and built to win.
Our GameFX audio system on ROG Phone 5s features symmetrical 7-magnet dual speakers for truly balanced stereo sound effects, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack in conjunction with a hi-fi grade ESS DAC. Both have been optimized via a collaboration with audio specialist Dirac, making ROG Phone 5s a rare smartphone with a truly impressive audio quality. In addition to the premium sounds, GameFX also gives you crystal-clear in-game sound effects and powerful aural soundscapes you've never dared to hope for in a phone.
ROG Phone 5s gives you a control experience that's even beyond console-level gaming!
Delivering increased airflow directly to hotspots on the back cover of ROG Phone 5s, the AeroActive Cooler 5 clip-on external cooling fan can lower the surface temperature near the CPU by up to a stunning 15°C. It also has two extra physical buttons to allow a genuine console-like control experience.
Controlling a game by moving your phone is a cool and intuitive way to play. ROG Phone 5s supports a total of 10 different motion controls, so you can easily pick the moves to fit your game. In a racing game, for example, you can swivel the phone to steer or push it forward to accelerate. Game control has never been so easy.
In addition to tap, slide, swipe, dual partition buttons, the ultrasonic side sensors can now support two gestures on one side of the sensors simultaneously. You can now have tap and swipe or tap and slide turned on at the same time for even more controlling possibilities.
The triple-camera system on ROG Phone 5s is designed to produce superb-quality photos in any setting. It features a flagship Sony® IMX686 64 MP main wide-angle camera, an ultrawide 13 MP second camera, and a macro camera. Enhanced software features include a Pro Video Mode as well as Free Zoom, Wind Filter and Acoustic Focus functions to make your video quality stand out. There's also a 24 MP front camera for high-quality group selfies and live-streaming videos.

Pros: -Beautiful screen, good to watch SONY OLED demos on youtube, -Insanely loud, great to assert dominance other people who listen to their phones in public on max volume, -Ram feels unlimited, having millions of apps open and not caring anymore is nice, -Battery is endless, "charger go brrrrrrr", its fast, really fast, -Live wallpapers don't put a dent in battery life, -Camera is ok, can take really good pictures but you may find yourself using manual focus for any picture you want to come out good, autofocus is a little dumb but it's manageable, -RGB built into the back, thats cool and a flex on people who don't have RGB phones, -Its gpu and cpu are OP and it can emulate PS2 titles just fine, im sure all mobile games work fine too but I don't partake, -They give you a case with it, that was nice of them, -Box it comes in is the most bougie thing I think ive ever seen and I though Huawei was bad, cool to show to people then loses all appeal a day later
Cons: -Theme store and launcher are a disaster, -Too few themes to pick from and it's all basically advertisements for PUBG, Genshin impact,ect, -Launcher is a little challenged and everytime you change a theme it changes all of your ringtones, notifications sounds, lock sounds, UI color, and aren't individually customizable which is really annoying to change everything back every single time, -Then a few days later the UI colors will revert back to default orange so if you any other colored theme (purple in my case) it will now look like vomit instead, -Phone comes with no default apps for notes or calender, like why not include that? people use those things ya know?, -No flashlight widget, it's in your upper tiles which is weird for me, may be normal for other people, -Fingerprint reader is sus and always saying my thumb isnt mine even though I scanned every inch of that thing on that stupid screen, works when it wants to, -Face Unlock is great and instant, unless you're an introvert who stays inside in a dark room all day, then not so much, -I've heard the phone is very fragile, no drop or will probably be sad afterwards, -Fan thing that it comes with is gimmicky and useless, blows air on the back of the phone, does nothing and doesnt fit in pocket 0/10,
Overall Review: Would definitely recommend, id say a solid 8/10, Honestly just buy it but if you buy anything less than the 18gb model why even buy the phone? Just do it, stop thinking about it. You don't need rent or food, just RGB phone.
