Thank you so much for this review! I really need it as a reference on buying new phone
You're welcome!
Thank You for making this review video❤
You're welcome.
I think for the refresh rate going back to 60 you can enable lock refresh rate in the developer settings
Nice review. Have u faced wifi hotspot issue? Have u replaced any motherboard for your phone?
Nope. Connectivity has always been great, and no repair whatsoever has ever been done to my phone as of writing.
@@ribbytrivia thanks for the review i have replaced motherboard twice very disappointed by this phone . U can also see many of them replaced motherboard on UA-cam that's why i asked you. Anyways thanks for ur opinion.
@@dr.sjprince8941 I have read many motherboard replacements for ROG Phone 3. But for ROG Phone 5 - not yet.
I'm a member of about 3 ROG Phone groups (2 in the PH and 1 international), and that's where I got these information I'm sharing.
Thx for good review :)
I'm planning to buy the Asus ROG 5s. But the reviews say a lot about motherboard falling and many more issues. I'm hoping to use it for 4-5 yrs. But after reading the reviews I'm not very confident.. I also think I should go for the new Asus ROG 6 instead... I'm on a budget and idk if I should go for ROG 5s with 12/256 or ROG 6 with 12/128... Please. Help me decide. I would really appreciate
I can only speak about rog5 since that's the only rog phone I have. Also, in the end, it is still your decision. A pros and cons list might help
@@ribbytrivia the Asus ROG 5 12/256 and ROG 6 12/128 is at the same price. Only like $50 difference. The phone will be only used for gaming and only PUBG mobile, apex and an MMO like genshin will be installed only those 3 games.. I'm just wondering if that's enough space for 128 storage. Plus u need free space for apps to run as well. If not unfortunately I have to go with the rog 5. I just need an answer/ a reason to choose the ROG 6 over ROG 5
@@SeraphimWsiper As I've said, I don't own a ROG 6, so I am not in a position to compare, nor recommend, which is better.
But purely based on specs and papers, ROG6 is, of course, the better one. Experience and actual usage is another story - which I CANNOT vouch for.
I am buying Rog 5s on Monday so excited
Good for you. Enjoy!
How is the experience
@@michaelmike8411 Generally great
@@ribbytrivia thanks for replying im buying today too but im fearful of motherboard getting burned or something that's the general negative feedback for this phone so kind of worried
@@michaelmike8411 Consider these...
- Have you ever seen anyone post just to say they love their phone, or their phone has no issue? Probably never, since when you are satisfied with the device, you never really post it. But when you encounter even the tiniest issue on your device, your tendency is to post it. So, in the end, you only see the negative posts.
- How many negative posts you've seen? Maybe around 10, or 20 max? Even if it is 100 posted issues really (I doubt though that it's that many). Now, think how many millions of units has been sold? What is the percentage of those issues compared to the total units sold? It's miniscule.
- Is there any difference on TOG 5/s situation compared to other flagship devices out there? It's the same thing even for iPhones or Samsung or Oneplus or any other brand. There's also around 10-20 issue posted somewhere. If it is the same anywhere, and you have these doubts, you basically won't buy any device anymore.
I know i'm late, but i have a ROG Phone 5s right now and i need to ask you, do you use a case on the phone or did it always drop caseless?
Definitely with case since day zero
I'm using rog 5 it's great phone, but if you want to gaming on max setting it's already outdated. For future proof better is to buy something with snap 8 gen 3. I'm planning to upgrade, because now days it's really not that satisfying to use rog 5.
Anyone planning to purchase Rog 5, just don't. Don't even buy a Rog 6. I purchased my phone back in July of 2021. The motherboard had already been repaired once and since then there is a drastic performance downgrade (worse than a SD 855).
I respect your opinion, but also consider that your experience is probably not the same experience as the majority of ROG Phone users 😉
Me also change motherboard ..thankfully its still guarentee
After 1 years and 4 month my rog 5 still beat all ... Love this phone ..
Can I buy rog 5s?
Does rog 5s also has problem like rog 5?
@@eternalgaming5089 I don't own a 5s, so I am not in a position to answer your question 😇
Can you explain what you didnt like about it. You just said dont buy it?
Great and very informative video, Im a cheap and careful person. I'll be getting a ROG phone 5 for 2nd hand as my 2nd choice, my first choice was Note 20 Ultra or Note 10 +. I will be mainly using it for mobile photo editing. Thats why ROG phone 5 is my 2nd choice, how was your experience on using it on office applications and editing? I know this is the previous most powerful phone in terms of gaming performance but would it be great for photo and video editing compared to Samsung Note 20 Ultra?
Sorry I cannot compare it to Note as I don't have that. I can only speak for ROG5. And ROG5 is absolutely capable for any task you throw at it. I also use snapseed a lot. No issue whatsoever.
@@ribbytrivia yeah totally agree that exynos chip is a deciding factor for me
I will purchase rog 5s next week but it's worth for gaming 2023 & long time using almost next 5 years??? Please reply 😢
Yes. My ROG5 is still very capable now. 5s has a better specs
Sorry to ask bro, im a student so i can't really afford the newer version and it became pretty affordable now .Can i ask if you have face any problem?
I've had a Redmagic 6 for the last year and a half that I've just decided to sell because I'm sick of all the software bugs (got worse with android 12 update) and was going to get a Rog Phone 5, but the fingerprint issue is putting me off after watching your video, It looked awful. Redmagic 6 fingerprint scanner is like lighting 🤦♂️😂
Yeah. Really disappointing finger print sensor
Do you think the tencent China version with global ROM is just as good enough? I just purchased it from aliexpress and I'm really excited. I'm hearing that Verizon doesn't work so I will be switching carriers
AFAIK, you won't get automatic updates. You will need to manually download and install the updates for china with global rom. It might be better to have an original china rom of updates are inportant to you. Butnfor the hardware, I think it's the same
@@ribbytrivia sounds good. Thanks for the fast reply
@@taypickkles_ No problem. 👌
I see there are lot of complaints that motherboard is weak and charging on a 65watts charger burns the ic. Im an year late, is it still good brother?
My ROG 5 has been handed down to my son. Still very alive and kicking. No repairs yet.
Just like any other phone brands or model, there are lemon units of ROG5
About the finger print issue? i fix it by adding another fingerprint scan with the same finger 3-4 times instead of adding 1 finger. Now it unlocks it easier :)
Thanks for the tip
Hey Ribby!! Should i purchase ROG 5s or iPhone 11 cause prices are almost similar....and which one would you consider buying???
That will really depend on you. iOS is the most stable and optimized OS for phone, but. It does not have the perks of shoulder button, and ROG accessories. So you should know what is more important for you.
Personally, I'm not a fan of iOS though. It is the most stable OS but it does not have a lot of options, and iOS is so strict in a lot of things. In Android, I feel that I am more free to do anything.
So hows the motherboard so far . Mine just died need to replace the motherboard
Still alive and kicking
After 2 years of used.. I can confidently say its sht.. I've taken care of it really well and just for it to die in front of me. I'm currently using the 16GB of Ram with 256 GB of Storage and not about one year of used, its Motherboard is already broken and it gets really really HOT. currently got it's Motherboard fixed and it's hella expensive..
Don't frickin Buy It, Deadboot and Motherboard Software Problems cause its fckn disgusting🤮.. I'm currently waiting to buy the Rog 7 ultimate.. and After I get it and its already Updated, Don't Update the fckn Software cause I can definitely guess they're doing it on purpose so It would break or something.. Just to be sure and Hope this helps 🙏
Mine is still alive and kicking, and it's always updated.
I see. So rog phone build quality must be terrible.
I own a ROG3 phone. I used to play genshin,honkai star rail with temperatures
yoow do you think rog phone 5 is worth it buy for a long run? cause i'm planning to buy rog 5 im currently using samsung a50 for almost 4 years and they dont have any issue does rog phone 5 can last that long without issue?
I only have rog 5 for almost 2 years, so it is undoubtedly impossible to determine if it will last for 5 years by anyone. But it is still good and kicking as of writing
No. The phone has issues such as no wifi, not turning on, air triggers not working
@@kristofkidelman4987 Your experience is not the same experience as the majority of the ROG Phone users. It's irresponsible to generalize the whole phone based on the experience of the few.
Bro can you help me?? Which phone should i bought pixel 6 pro or asus rog 5
If you game a lot, go for rog. If you prioritize photography, go for pixel. On other aspects of the phones, I have no qualified knowldge as I have not used a pixel phone yet.
it can support aeroactive cooler 6 at the latest update right?
I'm not sure. I don't have active coolee 6 to test
This is just my guess but most of the vids of people complaining about their phones fcking up cuz about the motherboard shit like that etc. Anyways it's probably also the way they use it or the country or temperature of their place causing their phone heating up and ruining the inside of the phone
I wanna buy rog5 but i saw alot of people say that has so much problems and unworth to buy it, can u advice me plz
No matter what brand or model of phone, you will always see negative comments. That's because people will immediately post an issue on their device to ask for help. While people who enjoys and are satisfied with their phone will not post anything. So ita normal to see negative things about the phone. But if you think about it, take note how many have issues with rog 5, then compare that to how many MILLIONS of units they sold. You'll realize that the issues is only but a tiny fraction.
Also, since this is a gaming phone, many of them experiment in installing new ROMs and mods, which usually is the cause of issue. Many also buy the cheaper China version then replace the ROM with global. And many other user-inflicted issues
I have ASUS ROG PHONE 5 the 8gb ram & 128gb storage variant despite the issues I heard from other ROG PHONE 5 users I didn't experience any of it, I bought mine last September 2021 and everything works fine until now also I already updated mine to ANDROID 13 and currently I have no issues with it. Just advice if you get ROG PHONE series you should also get cooler for it because these phones get hot after gaming for a couple of hours. When I bought mine, I rarely used the cooler 5 because I bought the blackshark fancooler pro and always use it. Now I recently bought the Aeroactive cooler 6 for ROG 5 series and it works greatly for me especially if I use it for gaming for a couple of hours.
@@Nelbonz Same with mine. No issues at all. I don't use a cooler, but I don't game a lot.
Actually on the latest ota update many phone's motherboard was fried (including mine) it just happens randomly while watching youtube,playing games etc.. i submitted my phone for service and they said they will change the motherboard for free once...
@@balasid8778 That's unfortunate. But again, looking at the big picture, those who experienced this MoBo issue is just a miscule count.
Hi is you screen refresh rate still 144hz?Mine is only 120 now :(
Yes. Still 144Hz
Have you faced died and software issues as wifi hotspot problem after a ot update 🤔🤔. Reply rapidly.
My rog 5s died 😫😣 after a ot update
@@alex.61204 Really?
Nope. Haven't experienced any of that
im planing to buy rog 5, can you update about your rog 5 now?
Still alive and kicking. No issue since it was bought. It is being used by my son now
1 year and 5 months after i purchased it it died after going into a boot loop
customer support says motherboard needs to be replaced, which out of warranty is very very expensive
@@PorungaSan Sorry to hear that. Mine is still alive and kicking now.
Jonathan Brais
WOW i feel so much the same
i got this phone for a year and a half now same you!! i change 2 times the back glass!!! i change 1 time the cooler fan ( 1 of the 5 little pins of metal beside the charge space broke) My air triggers no work no more even after reset the phone! its just totally dead! My signal is always so bad!!! My camera just stop workone day so i had to reset the phone completely and camera came back but not air trigger!! Every seven things of you video its so trues!! feel the same!! i really think to go with lenovo for next phone!! So bad i really like asus phone amazing game phone and computer!!
I just sold mine a week ago. 💔 After a year and 6 months mine suddenly won't connect to the WiFi. I tried everything but nothing worked. This phone is disappointing. 😓
Yeah, any phone that doesn't work as it should is disappointing. Sorry to know that.
Does ROG 5 12/128 still good in 2024 or should i just buy poco x6 pro 8/256 im a gamer which is better for me i need youre opinion about this.
I haven't own poco x6, so I cannot speak about it. But for rog phone 5... It's still a beast. My son is still using it and he ganes a lot. No complain from him.
@@ribbytrivia you still replies till this day is legend thx you for fast reply I planning to buy it second hand but my second choice is Poco maybe I will wait a year because maybe Poco x6 pro will have motherboard issue
@@propartner1679 Great plan. Good luck!
I have x6 pro 5g it's a beast 1.5 antutu
@@kevin69hshshs damn maybe I will wait a year so until issues come out
A very good phone.. Even the rogphone 3..... The 5 Will be a beast at least 3 more years 🤭😈💪💪💪💪
Agree
Which ui you like most Rog ui or One ui ?
I prefer ROG UI as it is more like the vanilla android.
Samsung's OneUI makes something different just for the sake of being different, like screen shot - it is a lot difficult to palm swipe than 3 fingers swipe, or the app cabinet which scrolls side ways than the usual up/down. I aslo experience auto shutdowns of apps in OneUI from time to time. And it does not allow second space to all apps as well
Is it common for rog 5 heating issue?
All phones heat up when using it on CPU or GPU extensive apps/games. And ROG5 is no different than any other phone in the planet. It has a cooling system, so it might be a bit better than others in that department.
Could a good option at this point in 2024?
I have no interest in the Play store garbage, I'm only interested in emulation and little else, everyday use, is it still a good phone? I see one on Facebook marketplace for 300 USD
Absolutely! My son, who games a lot, still uses this ROG5 without any issue. Everyday normal tasks will be a breeze on it.
Is it true that Rog phone 6 has 2 OS update and 2 security patches and will be worthless after 2yrs?
I can't speak for ROG6 since I only have ROG5. But for ROG5, I still received an update early this year.
@@ribbytrivia thank you for your answer.
@@CharlitoCuaresma no problem
should I buy rog phone 5s or legion y70? I know y70 uses sd 8+ gen 1 but other of it's aspects like battery software, minor messaging issue and glass protection fails to me. On the other hand sd 888+ is known for heating issues but I never experience it first hand. Is it bearable heat or not?
I can't speak for both phones as I don't own any of them. But you're not wrong in the 888 heat. They are bearable but it does consume more battery than usual. My ROG 5 (not S) feels just like 4k to 4.5k mAh because of that (instead of its actual 6k mAh). Also, as a rule of thumb, I'd always go with the latest chip for future proofing, and newer chips are way more power efficient.
@@ribbytriviaMy recent sd power soc phone is 870 which is poco f3 that could heat sometimes but bearable to me. I recently watch some test specifically on rog 5/s on how it handle sd 888, it is somewhat close to my poco f3 temps but I cant rely on it because of different room ambient and countries. Is phone cooler necessary for this phone?
also did you experience wifi or connectivity issues after the updates?
@@isorenaarvinjay2622 I sold my free ROG phone cooler. It only lessen the temp by 1 degree. Not much help. And I personally don't like the bulk, and so for me, it's a no. But I've watched somewhere that other coolers can help, like the one from Black Shark.
@@isorenaarvinjay2622 No issues on connectivity at all. It can connect to 2 Wi-Fi at the same time.
Which is better iphone 12 or rog 5
I wouldn't know. I have never used an iPhone in my life.
If I didn't update to android 12 ,it will be ok ?? Please reply
Is it affordable to buy??
Yes.
Lol good for ya don't update asus claimed their update is buggy and will fix them soon wait atleast 3months before updating..
Rog phone 1 with Twinview 280 usd in 2022.
Is there is wifi problem? Plz reply 🥺
No. Nothing at all. You can even connect to 2 wifi network at the same time on this phone
Bro I'm using rog 5 but didn't got the system update to Android 12 yet
Are you using a flashed ROM?
@@ribbytrivia nope I bought this device on 2021 still didn't got the 12 version update

Did ROG5s has any problem i really want to know
That's what the video is all about. I've discussed everything in there. No more, no less, based on my actual honest experience.
@@ribbytriviaI just bought the chinese version with global rom in english but it scared me already
I thought the battery would be good and last and its software would be updated
@@k.odementor7737 Updates comes in faster than usual. But the battery is just average at most. At 6k mAh you would think it will last for 2 days. But Snapdragon 888 is a power hungry chip, so the batt became average.
Cod m supports 120hz u must of not turned it on in game
I was gonna buy 5s in next year but some ppl said can't connect WiFi or mobile data is bcoz heat temperature dmg WiFi and no sound after update android 12....i was really worry about those problems.... And not gonna buy 6/6D coz I'm poor as fck😅😅😅😅
If that issue is happening to majority of the phone, then I would stay out. But those are just really few isolated cases. If you look at the bad reviews, you will only see the bad things and there's always something bad on any phone and models... And with that mindset youll end up not buying anything at all 🤣
@@ribbytrivia btw should i update to android 12 or stand at 11?
@@brandonlim4410 I always update to the latest
you used ambient display thats why you have low sot
That's not a valid excuse for the weak battery. The feature is there to use, not to avoid. I always use it on my other phones with less mAh capacity, and considering that ROG5 has 6,000 mAh, it lasts just like my other phones 4k mAh.
@@ribbytrivia you need to understand that not every processor is efficient gaming phones are never going to be efficient even if u have a big 6000 mah battery and sot makes a huge difference idk what you are talking about every phone battery trest has shown results of sot making a difference of atleast a hour
@@emugss1201 IDK what you are talking about as well 🤣
You said my SOT is low because of ambient display.
Ambient display is a feature of the phone right? And I want to use it. In your first comment, you are implying that I should not use ambient display to increase SOT.
And what I am saying is, you shouldn't sacrifice features that you want, and always use, just to have a better SOT. If you need to do that... it just proves that there's a problem in how the phone handles the battery efficiency. That's my whole point.
BUT... just to be clear, I am not saying that ROG5 battery is trash. I was just expecting more. I came from OP7TPro with 4k mAh before switching to ROG5. Thus the expectation for longer batt life. But, to my surprise, ROG5 last just as long as the OP7TPro.
And I do understand that Snapdragon 888 is mostly to blame here. But that doesn't mean that my expectations is not valid when I got ROG5.
Anyway, thanks for the healthy discussion. Appreciate it.
@@ribbytrivia sacrifices have to made not everything is perfect lol
is it worth buying?

Pls don't waste your money he is lucky that his device is working but majority of people facing bunch of issues with this crap shitt

Your experience is not everyone's experience.
Nobody posts anything when they are satisfied with their device
But someone always post even the tiniest little issue on their phone.
So naturally, you will only see the bad things in social media. But that doesn't mean it is the majority.
I don't think people are dumb enough to invest on a "crap" device, but do you see any downward trend on rog phone's sale lately? That should say something.
I'm not a rog phone fanboy but I do know how to think logically 😉

@@RAIJINTV I wouldn't say useless. It's not perfect, as all other phones are. But mine is still alive and kicking, without any repairs or issues since I bought it. I'm sure many other owners are too, they are just not vocal about it since they have nothing to complain about.
You're bad experience with the phone is not the same experience as the majority of the phone owners. In fact, it's really far from that. The percentage of those who had issues compared to millions of those who own the same phone model is surely just a speck of percentage. So, I wouldn't call it a failure, disgusting, and surely not useless phone.

Sorry. I'm not rich. I can't give out phone just like that. 😂 I barely get paid in this channel yet.
Snapdragon 888 is a GARBAGE since it was fabbed by Samsung. Power efficiency is really useless.
Better choose 865/8+ Gen 1/Media 9000+. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
It only matters if you actually game somewhere besides home though. Suits alot of peoples use. Is cheap. 8gb ram.
I mean theres one for 500AUD near me. You'd struggle to get a better spec'd phone for cheaper.
