After the success of last year’s ROG Phone 2, ASUS is back yet again with another phone under the Republic of Gamers brand. Yeah yeah, it’s as obvious as it can be. It’s the ASUS ROG Phone 3 and everything you need to know including its Philippine pricing is here!
What’s New with the ROG Phone 3?
At a glance, it almost looks the same as its predecessor. It’s a good thing that the strength of a gaming phone can be found within. ASUS made four major changes to make the ROG Phone 3 stand out from its predecessors:
- 144Hz / 1ms AMOLED display with 270Hz touch sampling rate
- A Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ processor
- 5G support
- Up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM
Of course, this phone also has the staples that made the ROG Phone THE gaming phone. That includes a MONSTER 6000 mAh battery and dual front-facing speakers. There are also improved AirTrigger 3 side sensors, a side-mounted USB-C port, and has a dedicated Game Mode to further enhance in-game sound effects for immersive gameplay.
What? There’s a Second ROG Phone 3?
Yup! To make this gaming phone more accessible to its audience, ASUS has another model up its sleeve: the ROG Phone 3 Strix Edition. It has all the gamer-centric features we come to expect but with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
