What you need to know

An early audio review of the ASUS ROG Phone 5 has revealed the full design and key specs of the upcoming gaming phone.
The phone will feature Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 888 processor and a triple-camera setup with a 64MP main sensor.
ASUS will take the wraps off the ROG Phone 5 on March 10.

ASUS is set to unveil its next flagship gaming phone at a global event early next month. Ahead of its formal unveiling, DxOMark has published an audio review of the ROG Phone 5, giving us a clear look at the phone's design and confirming some key tech specs.

The official render of the ROG Phone 5 confirms the upcoming gaming phone will not look radically different from the ROG Phone 3, which was one of the best gaming phones released last year. As revealed by previous leaks, the ROG Phone 5 will feature a tiny secondary ticker display at the rear, although its purpose still remains unclear. The phone also appears to have a mysterious red button on the bottom-left. Additionally, the render confirms the presence of a 64MP primary camera, along with two other sensors and an LED flash.

While the audio review doesn't list the complete specs sheet of the ROG Phone 5, it does confirm that the phone will be running Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 chipset and feature an ESS DAC with Dirac tuning technology. The review also notes that the phone's front-facing stereo speakers are even better than the ones on its predecessor:

The latest ROG flagship delivers the best audio performance of all the phones we have tested to date, with consistent results and category-leading sub-scores in both Playback and Recording. While it isn't the loudest nor the strongest in bass we've measured to date, the Asus ROG Phone 5 still constitutes an excellent choice for nearly any use case you might need it for — from listening to music, gaming, or watching movies, to recording in all types of configurations and environments.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
