Asus ROG Phone 5 White Color Variant Goes On Sale In India; Where To Buy?

Asus ROG Phone 5 series was launched back in March in India comprising the standard ROG Phone 5, ROG Phone 5 Pro, and the ROG Phone 5 Pro Ultimate Edition. However, the Pro and the Ultimate Edition models are yet to go on sale. The standard model that was only available in the black color variant, can now be purchased in the white color option as well.

The 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model of the white variant is now listed on Flipkart at Rs. 49,999, similar to the black model. However, the same color for the high-end 12GB+256GB variant is still not available for purchase.

Asus ROG Phone 5: Should You Buy?

The ROG Phone 5 is the perfect pick for mobile gamers. This time, the device also gets a headphone jack. Like the predecessor, it does not support a microSD card. We usually see the flagship devices skip the microSD slot; however, lack of official IP rating is a drawback for the handset in this segment.
