Before you think of upgrading to Rog5

[Danishblunt]

Honestly there are so many weird topics here surrounding the Rog5 being superior and people acting like it's some next evolution.
Guys let me clear some things up for you:
The screen is the same.
the speaker are basicially the same,.
the batterilife is worse on the Rog5 due to higher TDP from the SoC.
The LED on the back, while on paper nice, is something you won't even look at.
No storage upgrade, still capped at 512GB.
Phone will throttle if used over time without aero cooler.
Camera the same.
Audio quality hasn't been improved noticably at all on headphones, for some reason people first now got the memo that the Rog Phones in general have a high quality built in dac.

Overall if you already have a Rog3, there is literally no compelling reason for you to purchase the Rog5, if you have an older Rog phone 1 then you can easily consider it, but upgrading from Rog3 is just silly, even Rog2 I'd still call it a stretch to call it an "upgrade". So please don't be swayed by random reviewers acting like it's some next evolutionary thing.

Some comparisons I found on an telegram channel

Rog 5 vs MI 10 ultra

(the one one the top is rog 5)

No idea about the set brightness levels or the color profile on both phones

Rog looks like it's on default maybe and probably can boost colors more like the MI in splendid

Is it me or ROG has better details? MI's colors look boosted and "smoothened"

id say they the rog is on a lower brightness, but that black crush is horrrrrrrrrrrrible, it looks clearer but still too far in some areas, thats a shame

But it's calibration is better than Rog 3 even the Mi above seems to be hiding black crush by boosting the brightness/colors you can check some areas for details like that guy's face and 2nd picture it looks washed out in MI

If that's at lowest brightness on both 🤔
Rog tops out around 800-1200 nits this hear (1200 is max) so I think it should be much brighter
If that's lowest I think it's more than enough on par with samsung's own phones as it's their panel and calibration just custom made for the Rog

Gotta wait for more comparisons we'll see more as more people buy the phone

As per my opinion , MI is looking way better than rog 5
