Hardware lovers and enthusiasts will soon have a big offering in India. ASUS has announced that its ASUS ROG Phone 5 Ultimate is getting close to a release in the country. Most precisely, on December 26, the Taiwanese firm will unleash its “Ultimate” gaming experience in the country. For starters, the ASUS ROG Phone 5 Ultimate gets this name from its impressive 18 GB of RAM and 512 GB of Internal Storage. This is more than a good part of laptops are offering. As a gaming smartphone, this is certainly the ultimate experience that you can get for multi-tasking and other purposes. Of course, the device won’t be cheap with an INR 79.999 price tag ($1,060). However, at the end of the day, this is cheaper than an iPhone 13 Pro Max, for example.
