ASUS ROG Phone 5s Pro ZS676KS (GSM ONLY NO CDMA) unlocked including cooler fan | 18 GB/512 GB | Phantom Black

Pros: – Huge screen! Looks better than my Galaxy S9 too in terms of the actual display. You can set the 144Hz display to adaptive so it’s better with battery, but yes, it looks very responsive when scrolling. It’s hard to look at the screens of other phones now. – Excellent battery and battery management. I keep my phones between 3-4 years and usually have to get the battery replaced after year 2 so I’ve gotten conscious about battery longevity so I’m glad there’s built-in software to limit the charge to 90% of the battery, and also other features to help battery health. Plus it supports 65 watt charging. I literally went from 19% to 48% in 5 minutes, or somewhere around that timeframe, really not much time at all. – Air triggers. I honestly don’t even game that much to really need this phone, I just like having the best in case I need it. But these triggers have a neat function in regular use that you can set actions for the lower button on a long press or short. I have mine set to turn the flashlight on with a long press and open the camera with a short one. It’s kind of neat to get a flashlight just by squeezing my phone, haha. This works even if the screen is off so it’s always available. – Back screen. Honestly, who needs this, but who wouldn’t want to have it! – AeroCooler. This thing actually works to keep my phone cooler when gaming. I do game, but just casual games. Nevertheless, I play long enough that normally I can feel the heat from the phone, even this one. But the cooler legitimately helps keep it cooler in my hands. It’s not too loud either but you can hear the slight whir of the fan. If I had gotten the non-Pro version and knew the fan was this good I would’ve bought it. Plus it has a kickstand so you could use it to watch videos! Cons: – I really can’t think of any. Like I mentioned in the pros I keep my phones for a long time and only upgrade when I think I’ve found something better. So buying this says a lot to me. The phone is big so it’s not as pocket friendly as a smaller phone, but you know that before buying so not really a con. Overall Review: I have to give a shout-out to the seller. I was a bit nervous buying something from Taiwan but they indicated on the page it gets delivered between 1-2 weeks. I ordered on Saturday, they shipped Monday their time, it got in the U.S. Monday my time (timezone differences), cleared customs the next day with no extra fee needed, and I had the phone in my hands on Wednesday! I couldn’t believe the shipping experience, it was exactly what I would expect from a seller here in the country. 5 stars here. The phone came with a U.S. style plug too so it worked without issue, I did send a message asking about this before I bought it. As to the phone. I saw a lot of mixed reviews for the regular 5, not 5s version, with people saying it wouldn’t connect to their network or had bad speeds. Again, I verified the bands with my carrier T-Mobile and the phone looked compatible. Well, 5G works! This is my first 5G phone so I don’t have a lot of experience with it, and I’ve gotten spotty speeds but I have gotten 33Mbps download which is faster than what I’ve gotten with 4G LTE on my Galaxy S9. All in all I have absolutely zero regrets in buying this phone from this seller. I had to change the initial language when i set the phone up to be English, but other than that it’s behaved like I would expect. Google Play store is there, no Tencent games, nothing about this phone feels off from if I had bought it here in the U.S. If you’re considering buying this phone, do it!
