ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is a pearl white hexagonal column package.



On the bottom, the ASUS logo and the wording 'REPUBLIC OF GAMERS' of the

gaming brand 'ROG' are written.



When I opened it, an American comic-style illustration was drawn inside.



By the way, this illustration is a mechanism that each frame moves like a movie by the AR function of the main body.



The main body and peripherals are stored further inside this illustration.



The contents are the main body, Transparent case, AeroActive Cooler 5, instruction manual, USB Type-C cable, USB charger, protective cap for left side port x 2.



This is the main body. The top model Ultimate is only available in a color called 'Storm White', which is based on pearl white.



The size is 173 mm in height x 77 mm in width x 9.9 mm in depth, and

it looks like the iPhone 12 Pro Max , which has the largest display in iPhone history, is stretched vertically.



The width is the same as the iPhone 12 Pro Max.



The height is slightly higher than the iPhone 12 Pro Max, and it is a fairly large size.



It weighs 242g and has a built-in large capacity battery of 3000mAh x 2 for a total of 6000mAh.



When I bring it, it feels heavy. Although the back has a curved edge that fits in your hand, the display is large for gaming purposes and is not suitable for one-handed operation.



There are three types of out-cameras: the main camera has a wide angle of 64 million pixels, the 2nd camera has a super wide angle of 13 million pixels, and the 3rd camera has a macro of 5 million pixels.



The mini display on the back can display customizable animations.



Equipped with a USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom of the main unit.



Power button and volume button on the right side. In addition, the ultrasonic touch sensor 'Air Trigger 5' is built in the part that hits the LR button when held like a controller.



In addition to the USB Type-C port, the center on the left side has a custom port for genuine accessories.




This USB Type-C port and custom port are of the type that the holes are left open, and when not in use, the included special cap is attached to protect it.




There was a SIM card slot on the bottom side of the left side. The SIM card slot is a dual specification that can be equipped with two nanoSIMs at the same time.



The display side looks like this. A 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 2,448 x 1,080 dots (Full HD +) with a refresh rate of 144Hz and a response speed of 1ms. Furthermore, the gamer specification that the reaction speed to the touch operation reaches up to 24.3 ms with the touch sampling rate of 300 Hz. A fingerprint sensor is built into the bottom of the display.



The in-camera has 24 million pixels.



From here, I will try using the accessories. As the name suggests, the special case 'Transparent case' included in 'Storm White' has a transparent appearance, and there are slits in the out-camera and other parts.



The side is like this.




Next is the dedicated external cooler 'Aero Active Cooler 5' that is included only in Ultimate.

It can be purchased separately , and the price is 5980 yen including tax.



AeroActive Cooler 5 is connected to the dedicated port mounted on the left side of the main unit ...



An item that cools with a fan from the back of the main unit as shown below.



In addition, left and right buttons are mounted on the left and right of the fan, and it is also possible to assign in-game actions.



It can also stand on its own with AeroActive Cooler 5 installed.



Then use the stand ...



You can also stand at an angle like this.



'ROG Phone 5 Ultimate' has a suggested retail price of 149,800 yen, and in addition to the ASUS official online store , au, Bic Camera, Bic Camera, Dospara, Edion, Hikari TV Shopping, Joshin, Yamada Denki, Yodobashi Camera will be sales partners I am.

In the following review, we will measure the benchmark for the function 'X mode +' released by installing this AeroActive Cooler 5.
