ASUS ROG Phone 5’s audio was benchmarked by DxO Mark

Looks like the guys at DxOMark was able to test a unit of the still unannounced ASUS ROG Phone 5. Yep, the smartphone hasn’t been launched and yet, DxOMark still managed to test out a lot of things including a benchmark for its audio.

The benchmark by DxOMark has confirmed that the ASUS ROG Phone 5 will definitely come with Snapdragon 888 5G Chipset inside and since we’re getting here an audio benchmark, they’ve also confirmed that it will come with Symmetrical dual front-facing speakers on the top and bottom of the smartphone. It will also come with Dirac tuning technology including frequency response correction and virtual bass technology. But what surprised me is that the smartphone comes with 3.5mm headphone jack with ESS DAC again.

All in all, the DxOMark team was impressed with its audio as the ROG Phone 5 delivers the best audio performance in all of their smartphones that was tested to date. This makes sense as audio is a essential part in creating a good gaming smartphone.

The ASUS ROG Phone 5 is expected to launch this March 10.

moto g 5G plus is the 5G smartphone for all

5G is probably the biggest thing in smartphone tech this year, and a lot of people are craving for that feature on their smartphones. Thankfully, 5G smartphones are getting more affordable this year —  among them is the moto g 5G plus — and there are many reasons to like this smartphone.

It’s one of the most affordable 5G smartphones

The moto g 5G plus is one of the best mid-range smartphones out there right now. Why? Because this one comes with 5G thanks to its Snapdragon 765 processor inside, which is not only capable of running 5G but also powerful that it can compete with most premium mid-range smartphones out there in the market.

Quad-Cam System

The moto g 5G plus doesn’t compromise when it comes to lenses as we got here a quad-cam system on the rear, with a 48MP main camera along with an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera. And for the front cameras, there’s the dual-selfie camera with a 16MP main selfie camera and also an 8MP ultrawide selfie that you can use for group photos, which is great as there are only a few smartphones that have this.

Large 6.7-inch display for multimedia

One of the things that we always do on our smartphones is that we watch Netflix and also vlogs on YouTube, and we always prefer watching on larger displays. Aside from that, the larger displays are also perfect for playing games since we need bigger displays with Full HD+ resolution, which the moto g 5G plus has, to have a crisp and better gameplay experience.

We’ve also tried running 5G on the moto g 5G plus and we were pretty happy with the speeds we got on the smartphone thanks to the Snapdragon 765 5G processor inside it. We used Smart 5G on the smartphone and we got speeds of up to 150Mbps in Makati which is pretty great.

We were able to get 94Mbps in Paranaque!

With this speed, I can download apps and update games faster than my 4G+ connection on other smartphones and to be honest with you guys, this speed is even faster than the internet speed at my home!

Long battery life

All these features will be useless if you can’t use your smartphone the whole day, and thankfully with the moto g 5G plus, you get a 5000mAh battery which will be enough for a day of usage even if you have 5G and a Snapdragon 765 inside.

So if you want a 5G smartphone, then the moto g 5G plus might be a good choice for you as this one comes with a powerful Snapdragon 765 processor with 5G and the best part about it is the price of only PHP 16,995, which makes the smartphone ultrafast for all. If you don’t have a 5G smartphone yet, the moto g 5G plus is a good upgrade for you.

The moto g 5G plus is now available in the market and you can purchase it at the Lenovo Mobile Official Store in Lazada here: https://www.lazada.com.ph/shop/lenovo-mobile-official-store/

You can also check out the moto g 5G plus at authorized resellers nationwide: lenovo.com/ph/en/where-to-buy/
