Asus ROG Phone 5 gets the high score in DxOMark's audio review

Asus Android Gaming

The official Asus ROG Phone 5 launch date is March 10, however DxOMark already posted its audio review of the gaming flagship. And it gave it an excellent mark.

Anyway, with a score of 79 the upcoming ROG Phone claims the top spot in the charts with a healthy lead over the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro (76) in second place. Its predecessor, the ROG Phone 3, is currently tied for third with the Huawei Mate 20 X (both at 75 points).

The phone in question seems to be the I005DA, which we saw on TENAA in January rather than the I005DB version, which cropped up later. The B version has a screen on the back while images of the A model had a Tencent Games logo instead. The phone tested by DxOMark has neither a screen nor a Tencent logo.

What the phone does have are two front-firing stereo speakers, Dirac tuning technology and a 3.5 mm headphone jack with an ESS DAC. And a Snapdragon 888 chipset, of course.

In terms of performance the ROG Phone 5 earned category-leading sub-scores in the dynamic, spatial and artifacts tests. There are some downsides, including slightly weak bass and issues cropping up at max volume. The phone’s recording capabilities are overall excellent.

Thanks for the response. You're right. Yes, keeping it in the phone might be the reason why battery degrades faster. In fact, I suspect an Android phone is always on. Even when its off, a portion of it remains active, I suspect. Just a part ...

First thing first, having a microSD slot does NOT mean you cannot use Cloud Storage! This is the same argument people make online asking for the removal of the 3.5mm Headphone Jack, simply because they want to use Bluetooth earphones. With that ...

If you remove the Lithium Battery from the device, and keep it in a Dry and Cool area... you theoretically have zero capacity loss. Although in practice you do lose some capacity but it is relatively small (1%-10%) depending on the amount of months/y...
