The series includes two devices: ROG Phone 5s and ROG Phone 5s Pro. Both models are improved versions of the previously introduced ROG Phone 5 and ROG Phone 5 Pro. The novelties got the same look but slightly modified "stuffing". 

The first innovation is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ processor, instead of the usual Snapdragon 888. The SoC has increased to 3 GHz performance of the Cortex-X1 core, as well as improved the AI Engine by 20%.

Thanks to this, the latency has dropped from 24.3 sec to a record 24 sec.

As for the other specifications, they remained the same. Novelties received AMOLED screens Samsung at 6.78-inch screens with FHD+ resolution, adaptive refresh rate up to 144 Hz, HDR10+ support and brightness up to 800 nits, protective glass Gorilla Glass Victus, 6000 mAh batteries with 65-watt charging support, multiple USB-C ports each, branded accessories, ESS Sabre ES9280AC Pro Quad DAC, stereo speakers with Cirrus Logic CS35L4 amplifiers, triggers, sub-screen fingerprint scanners, headphone jacks and triple 64 MP + 13 MP + 5 MP cameras.
