TL;DR: Remember when smartphones used to have less memory than PCs? That's been changing over the years, with many handsets jumping to 4GB, 10GB, and 12GB. The Asus ROG Phone 3 was one of the first to feature 16GB; its successor, the upcoming ROG Phone 5, looks like it will come with even more: a massive 18GB. The ROG Phone 5 launches one week from today—you can watch the countdown on Asus' website . Being a gaming phone that's part of the ROG line, the device packs plenty of power, including a Qualcomm 888 SoC and dual-cell 6,000 mAh battery.

A Geekbench entry spotted by MySmartPrice reveals the ROG Phone 5's 1,113 single-core score and 3,468 multi-core score. It also shows that the handset will come with Android 11 out of the box and 18GB of RAM.
