Revainrating 5 out of 5

Love it! ONLY BUY!

First thanks to the seller who sent my phone a day earlier than expected! Like most gamers looking for their first gaming smartphone, I've researched for hours. I was so close to buying the Red Magic 6 Pro because the phones were just as capable. Until I found out that the Asus ROG Phone 5 has an aerocooler, which you can purchase separately, with 2 trigger buttons, giving you a total of 4 screenless buttons. With this discovery, I told my Suga mom, aka my girlfriend, that this is exactly the phone I wanted. And boy if I tell you this phone has lived up to all my expectations and more! Seriously, WOW graphics. The speed and responsiveness of the air triggers and aerocooler is just WOW. I've stopped playing COD Mobile on my computer (due to my inability to play the game on my phone with just two thumbs on the screen). Switching from mouse and keyboard to this device literally took maybe 3 days before playing as well if not better than my computer. After 10 days with this phone, I can tell you that I now prefer playing the game on my ROG phone to a computer. The RBGS on this phone is amazing. I took it to AT&T to have it activated and the staff were so amazed at the phone. None of them had ever seen this phone before, especially the one with RGB lighting on the back. Very customizable phone. ASUS designed this device exclusively for gamers. And that was a big win for the product in my book. It's not easy to surprise or delight me, but this phone really made me smile. I'm so glad I switched from Apple to buy this phone. It's worth a million times. If you think just like me, just buy it! And if you can find an Aerocooler 5 (bought refills on eBay for about $80), then you're in for a real treat. This phone will increase your reaction time and overall gaming enjoyment. The screen is big and beautiful and the 144Hz refresh rate is excellent! My favorite Revain purchase so far! Thanks to my mother Suge/friend who gave me this phone :D!
