So this Chinese tencent version supports n7, n38 and n41 for 5G (which means that I have only 1 out of the 3 bands for Rogers 5G, n41) and B2, 4, 5 and 7 for 4G.
Check out the chart on this website: https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/CA/asus-rog-phone-5
I use this with my Rog2 - which is essentially the same size. Bought in August 2019 and still working just fine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K1SVVFQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I found the ROG phone 5s on Amazon for around $650. Here's the link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PN2VSPB/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_DRGHJ2AZ85TFPFDPNA26
Is this a scam? If it is, could you guys share an official ROG phone link? North America
Yes, this worked
You need to remove any case though and its a tight fit when you first get it but it works.

this one?>
I have t-mobile, I did turn the 4G on and changed the settings to enable only 4G, but coverage for the bands the chinese version cover are the regular LTE, not the extended LTE( which is faster) and even not all the LTE bands are covered, also I do have the VOlLTE on and I know I won't be getting 5G. https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/asus-rog-phone-5 In this link you'll find the bands covered with this version, my area only gets the the 1900 mhz, so when I'm in the basement, I have no coverage, I've actually listed it for sale, if you know anybody who is interested, let me know. https://www.ebay.com/itm/asus-rog-phone-5-Tenect-edition-/353806294234?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 I appreciate your help.
I dont know about a screen protector, mine came with a protective clear back case.
For screen protectors, i got https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0922SQ58C?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details
Came with 2 protectors, an alignment bracket so putting it on was easy, an oil based pre application cleaner to help prevent bubbles, 2 alcohol wipes/microfiber cloths/dust grabbing stickers, a scratch protector for the back, and a covering for the camera area.
Went on great, went at it with a screw driver a little bit and no scratches or tears to the protector, and the camera protector fits with the lighting hardc ase on
Thankfully I don't have any experience with this.
Repost from a similar earlier question I answered:
I got this one:
https://www.amazon.com/MME-Case-ASUS-Phone-Armor/dp/B094XQL411/ref=sr\_1\_16?crid=1L9XVO69TIHBV&keywords=rog+5s+pro+case&qid=1640216381&sprefix=rog+5s+p%2Caps%2C1786&sr=8-16
Which works well so far. It's raised in the front so I have less concern about damage to the front from a fall. Air triggers are exposed but the rubber bumper surrounds them so the phone would have to land on a point in order to damage them. The downside is that this case was obviously designed for the 5S regular, not the pro, as the back is a solid piece that covers the lower slide-sensors. If that doesn't bother you, I'd recommend this case.
Amazon has more cases now than when I bought mine, though, search "rog 5s pro case" and you'll see several options.
Any luck with finding a good case or has the lightning case been holding out? I just ordered the lightning case and this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0922SQ58C/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o00\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This answers all your questions. I've been waiting weeks for Asus restock and from research Asus US Store is only one selling the north america version. Ignore Amazon, newegg and everywhere else unless it shows the same exact bands.
Scroll down and find your carrier to see compatible bands and comparison between Global China and NA versions
https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/asus-rog-phone-5
And for anyone wondering ZenFone 8 (NorthAmerica version) has almost same great 4G bands coverage but don't count on 5G coverage other than Tmobile n71 (600mhz). ROG Phone 5 (NorthAmerica) has way better 5G.
This site shows if the phone has the necesarry bands or not , https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-asus-rog-phone-5-pro . There is no difference between global and tencent version except maybe Rom size and Ram options.
lol dude this isn't even true.
Take a breath, relax. I got my 5s pro for $1300, $1400 if you count taxes.
You can get the 5s from https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LXJ7STM?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details&th=1 for just $1100, a price which is just about par for the course for any flagship smartphone these days.
For what it's worth, my 5s Pro, which I ordered from that link on amazon, works just fine on T Mobile USA network.
Hard to find more resistant to bending,
Some faults, use Loctite 222 or 221 (purple) threadlocker for the screws. Plan the point at the top with a file, it is annoying.
The fan is a gadget.

Just released. Amazon only. No announcement. Doesn't even show up at the top of search results or Asus' own Amazon store page.
Hey bro, I just got this case in the mail last night
Fanbiya Armor Case for ASUS ROG Phone 5 - TPU Case with Clear Back, Compatible with Aerocooler and Air Trigger, Rugged Protective Cover (Case with Clear Tempered Glass)
LOVE IT so far, seriously can't recommend it enough. That MME case looks like the same thing so you'd probably be happy with it too, but I can't speak directly to it as I don't own it
It means that it covers the whole phone, there is an example for a case that I used on my old phone:
Here is the case I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091GC6KBD?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details. To be fair I haven't dropped mine so I couldn't tell you how good it is, but it does look like it has a bit of front-screen protection which I like. Unfortunately there aren't many great cases for this phone
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B093BYQ3MX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I bought this. Took about 2 weeks to arrive from china. I don't have a cooler but even if I do, it won't cool it efficiently since the phone is behind a plastic.
I ordered this Matte Screen Protector. Easily 4 stars. Solid screen protector. No fingerprints and no glare. Fingers slide around real smooth when gaming. I thought I would have issues with the in-screen fingerprint reader, but I just needed to install the screen protector and then set up my fingerprints. Works great now. You get six of em. Ignore that other review. Mine fits perfectly. It's not a glass screen protector, so it won't block bullets. Does a great job if you don't throw your phone.
I'm getting a screen protector and a case. Would you mind looking at these and telling me if they would be a good fit with the phone here is the case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09161J8C8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_85363X4423Z0Z2Q716A8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 and here is the screen protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZSNXJ2P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_3AH226KYEEQMTQE5WPAV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Also a screen protector would help it make it just strong enough so it won't be bendable by accident as long as you don't intentionally bend it. Here is a tempered glass screen protector for anyone in the usa for the rog phone 5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZSNXJ2P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_79EZ5DPYXAH8C6824NB9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
With a somewhat beefy case you could make the structural integrity better I already found one for myself it has a rubber bumper around and a pc backplate which would make it a decent amount harder to bend. Here it is if anyone kn the usa wants a beefy case for there rog phone 5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09161J8C8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_CKA91SY5QQ50M6JE1ZF3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I've been using a my standard ROG phone 5 for the past week. No issues so far. Using a simple case on it.
