Asus ROG Phone has a little better hardware performance than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because it has more RAM and 4 more cores. The Xiaomi Mi 5s captures much clearer videos and photos than Asus ROG Phone, because although it has lower 30 frames per second video frame rates and a tinier diafragm aperture which is not good for low light photography and video, and they both have the same 3840x2160 (4K) video definition, the Xiaomi Mi 5s also counts with a bigger back-facing camera sensor shooting better quality videos and photos.
The Asus ROG Phone has improved battery performance than Xiaomi Mi 5s, because it has 4000mAh of battery capacity.
Although Asus ROG Phone is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Xiaomi Mi 5s, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Xiaomi Mi 5s.
