The ASUS ROG Phone 5 could launch very soon, thanks to the latest leak highlighting its potential hardware specifications. Just like any other gaming smartphone, we should expect top-notch and high-performing internals, along with a hefty amount of cooling to keep the temperatures in check. However, surprisingly, the ROG Phone 5 isn’t expected to feature a ‘Plus’ variant of Qualcomm’s flagship chipset, which is evident in the latest leak.
According to Geekbench 5, the ASUS ROG Phone 5 will apparently feature the Snapdragon 888. We found this out by checking additional details in the screenshot below. It reveals the codename ‘Lahaina,’ which corresponds to the Snapdragon 888. For those wondering, previous information mentioned that the Snapdragon 888 Plus’ codename was Lahaina+, but that isn’t mentioned in the screenshot anywhere.
