Asus helped launch the gaming phone market with its ROG series, and with its third generation, the product continues to become more polished. Here is what you need to know about Asus ROG Phone 3.
Available starting this month, the ROG Phone 3 continues the basic ideas of the original. That includes an unorthodox design aimed at gamers, special attachments, and some of the best specs on the market.
Through the list of specs, Asus ROG Phone 3 offers a Snapdragon 865+ processor, up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and a massive 6,000mAh battery. The screen measures 6.59 inches with FHD resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz. The OLED panel is capable of displaying HDR and can also reach 1,000 nits of brightness. The rear camera array consists of a 64MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide camera, and a 5MP macro. There’s also a 24MP selfie shooter hidden in the bezel.
Asus ROG Phone 3 also has a number of new accessories to accompany it. That includes the Strix XG16 portable display. The 15.6-inch panel works with the ROG Phone 3 (or a laptop) and has a 144Hz display for playing on a larger screen on the go. Asus is also unveiling the ROG FALCHION minimalist mechanical keyboard, the ROG KUNAI 3 gamepad that essentially turns the phone into a Nintendo Switch.
Continuing with the accessories, there are a couple of specialized cases as well as a desk base. There’s also a new TwinView Dock that adds an identical second screen and the ROG Clip, a game controller clip that works with Xbox, PlayStation, and Stadia controllers.
Asus has also partnered with Google to offer every ROG Phone 3 buyer 3 months of Stadia Pro for free.
