On our first YouTube Livestream we unbox the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate, the Ultimate Fan Gift Collection and all of the ROG Phone 5’s accessories.


On its fourth iteration, the ROG Phone 5 series (yes, it’s the fourth on the series despite the name), is as powerful as ever and now there’s three of them: ROG Phone 5, ROG Phone 5 Pro, and ROG Phone 5 Ultimate.

The upgrades mostly come in all the places that matter, but there’s also a new feature that takes inspiration from one of their gaming laptops.

all three members of the ROG Phone 5 series have in common — they’re all spec and features monsters. Here are some of the things you can look forward to:

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G processor
  • Upgraded GameCool 5 cooling system 
  • Armoury Crate new performance manager 
  •  6.78” Samsung AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate
  • 6,00mAh battery, bypass charging

New to ROG Phone 5 Pro and Ultimate — ROG Vision

Do you remember the AniMe Matrix on the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14? The ROG Phone 5 Pro and Ultimate have something like that. It’s called the ROG Vision.

It functions similarly in that it gives another layer of personalization through an extra display at the back of the phone but this one isn’t built with mini-LED lights.

The ROG Phone 5 Pro features a color ROG Vision display, while the ROG Phone 5 Ultimate has a monochrome version.

The HONOR Magic V2 RSR will make your heart race

Porsche Design is sexy

Published

on

Special Editions smartphones are almost always nice to look at. But usually, they’re also nothing more than aesthetic overhauls. That’s not exactly the case with the incredibly sexy and unbelievably tough HONOR Magic V2 RSR. It’s HONOR’s first foldable collaboration with Porsche Design.

We’ve already talked extensively about the Magic V2. If you want that more in-depth look, you can check out our review. In a separate tab, of course. 

REVIEW: HONOR Magic V2: My rebound foldable

Some of the new things you get with the Magic V2 RSR package are two power bricks and a stylus. Watch the unboxing below and bask in its beauty.

The Magic Pen 

The included stylus called the Magic Pen also looks just as sexy. It comes with an elegant case and can be charged separately via USB-C. Just flip out the back end of the pen to reveal the port. It’s a fine addition if you tend to sign many documents on your device or if you’re an artist. If not, it’s still a nice-to-have accessory. 

More importantly, the inclusion of the stylus reinforces HONOR’s belief in how tough the screens are on this luxury foldable. 

NanoCrystal Shield

The HONOR Magic V2 RSR is more than meets the eye. Reinforcing the screens, HONOR used Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield on the foldable’s displays. In keeping with the theme of the phone, the whole process in leveling up the display’s defenses is akin to a process also applied with cars. 

All told, what you need to know is that HONOR was confident enough to suggest that we try to scratch the display with a sandpaper sheet and or marble or asphalt surface. Here in GadgetMatch, we care too much about the device to do that… Although, the Magic V2 RSR did survive a couple of accidental drops with the display hitting the ground first. It came out unscathed. 

Asphalt 9: Legends on the Magic V2 RSR

HONOR Magic V2 RSR x Asphalt 9: Legends

Speaking of Asphalt, HONOR also worked with Gameloft for an optimized version of our favorite racing test game – Asphalt 9: Legends.

Not only will the game seamlessly fit the foldable’s aspect ratio, it’ll also take advantage of its computing power and GPU to render the game at 120fps and a higher resolution.

They also reimagined physical textures with GPU-based edge construction technology, before integrating the graphics rendering capabilities of foldable devices with AI.

The same reliable book-style foldable

Do you recall how in the movie Avengers: Infinity War after Peter Parker/Spider-Man wore the Iron Spider Suit he said, “It smells like a new car in here.” That’s what the Magic V2 RSR feels like. 

Functionally, it’s the same excellent foldable. It has unlocked mobile worked possibilities for me and has been a consistent companion as sort of a secondary screen when I’m toiling away on my main laptop.

When out and about, I can continue using it like I would a regular slate smartphone and no one would think it was any different. But if I wanted to, I can break the ice and unfold to, well, show-off. Something I like to do when the opportunity arises.

In our earlier review, we already called the Magic V2 as easily one of the best foldables out right now. The Magic V2 RSR comes in with the same functions but with a new coat of paint that’s undeniably sleek.

The HONOR Magic V2 RSR is the same powerful, reliable, and impossibly slim book-style foldable but in a brand new suit. The mere sight of it will make your heart race. But you’ll feel the speed even more once you integrate it into your life.
