Powerful gaming smartphones have been all the rage lately, and the Asus ROG Phone 5 seems to take it to a whole new level.

This is not only more than other Android devices (typically 6GB to 12GB), but more than many gaming laptops.

The launch is March 10, but thanks to a new Geekbench listing (via MySmartPrice), we already know a lot: not only will it have 18GB of RAM, but it will also come with Android 11 and the latest Snapdragon 888 chipset It is scheduled to. This is the same one found in Samsung's Galaxy S21, the crown jewel of Qualcomm's chip manufacturing.

Of course, Geekbench is a benchmarking site, so we already have information about the Asus Rog Phone 5's performance. It scored 1,113 on single-core and 3,468 on multi-core.

This is better than the Samsung Galaxy S21 and similar to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which recorded 1,048 and 3,302 in our benchmark tests. The latter phone recorded 1,123 in the single-core test and 3,440 in the multi-core test.

The iPhone 12 series, on the other hand, remains dominant, with the standard iPhone 12 scoring 1,593 and 3,859. In other words, no matter how many Android phone makers develop more powerful devices, Apple reigns supreme in raw performance.

Not much else is revealed in this list, but rumor has it that the ROG Phone 5 will have many amazing features. Among them are a 144Hz AMOLED display, 512GB to 1TB of storage, three rear cameras, a 6,000mAH battery, ultrasonic shoulder trigger, dual USB-C ports, and a secondary display on the back.

A more casual version of the ROG Phone 5 is also expected, with no fancy features and a price to match. That device could have 12GB to 16GB of RAM and 128GB to 256GB of storage.

Of course, we won't know for sure until next week's presentation. But it seems that ASUS is really going all in on mobile gaming and trying to ensure that gamers have the hardware to do it properly.
