The ASUS ROG Phone 5 is already proving to be an interesting smartphone, with previous leaks exposing a rear display in action, presumably dubbed ROG Vision. The function of the display isn’t fully known but it seems to function as a way to show notifications and alerts, although there could always be more to the story.
