Asus is no stranger when it comes to putting two displays on one laptop, but for its next gaming phone, Asus seems to be trying to push certain limits, placing a small secondary display on the back of the future ROG Phone 5.
Admittedly, the idea of having a bonus display on the back of a phone is a bit silly, but it comes from a phone line for gamers in which Asus has already added transparent RGB lighting vents and more USB-C ports, gluing on a second small display is actually not so extreme.
One short video on Weibo spotted by GSMArena, the ROG 5 phone appears to have a small dot matrix-style display positioned diagonally above it back, allowing you to see notifications or create small personalized messages that you can see even while the phone is on your face. In some ways, it is the natural progression of a series of phones that have slowly accumulated more and more bright RGB lighting in the last three years.

In addition to an extraordinary second poster, the keys for the ROG Phone 5 launched by Asus show a rather interesting device, with an almost frameless design and rumored specifications that include a massive 6,000 mAh battery, fast charging of 65 watts and 144Hz display stand. If you are wondering about ROG Phone 4 was most likely jumped over because number 4 being considered unlucky throughout Asia.
However, the potential surprise for interested buyers is that while Asus usually launches its flagship new line of phones in late spring or early summer, this year it looks like ROG Phone 5 could be announced as early as the first quarter of 2021. .
Unfortunately, as we are still waiting for an official announcement, other information about the next Asus gaming phone is still subtle. But, as someone who thought that Asus should lean even more into its excessive player aesthetics after analyzing ROG Phone 3, you can bet I’ll be watching the next edition.
