The Asus ROG 3 is the most powerful Android phone we’ve ever tested. With a 144Hz refresh rate display, a Snapdragon 865 Plus processor and a 6,000-mAh battery, it foreshadows many features we’ll see on Android smartphones later this year and into 2021.

The phone is a polished evolution of last year’s Asus ROG 2. We got to spend a few weeks with a preproduction ROG 3 that Asus lent us. This isn’t a review since the software on the phone was not final. But here’s an in-depth hands-on look at the Asus ROG 3.

      Rog ui is better. You aren’t getting any bloatware. Stock android feel with some customized options

      @Shariful Wtf you think compute power is just about frequencies? Are you ignorant or under 12?

    • Shariful

      July 22, 2020 at 7:42 pm

      @Julien Lindauer shuuush waffler just jealous that sd 865+ is really powerful…. why even bother to defend a 3 year old outdated design.

    • KRizz

      July 23, 2020 at 11:28 am

      @Vedraj r.m then what do you mean “when the games dont look as good as the ios version” huh whats that mean? infact this processor is more powrful than iphone 11 pro max and fast screen is so useful when gaming u can see smoother gameplay and faster screen rate time

    • KRizz

      July 23, 2020 at 11:32 am

      @Vedraj r.m what “powerful” exactly you mean? processor? rog wins it , battery? rog wins , display? rog win everything you compare rog win not a fanboy or anything but its a fact!

    • Vedraj r.m

      July 23, 2020 at 11:54 am

      KRizz you say see ya, yet to make a reply 5 minutes later and another one after 5 more minutes ????????????

    • Vedraj r.m

      July 23, 2020 at 11:57 am

      KRizz man again, educated yourself means to go and learn it, when I say iOS apps are better, it does not refer to the display and how it looks. It refers the app itself.
      Just watch a few videos regarding iOS vs android apps ????????
      Please stop making a joke of yourself with your stupid comments ????

    • KRizz

      July 23, 2020 at 12:13 pm

    I’d say storage is my top priority. I’ve been stuck with my Galaxy S8+ with 64GB. Which is sadly not cutting it in 2020. Been waiting for an upgrade for a while now. Once they reveal the Note 20, I’ll decide.

    • Pain Exotic

      July 22, 2020 at 9:04 pm

      there is so sd card support?? surely, you can add in an sd card. heck, i’ve got old phones from 2012 that can do it.. lol

    • Jibreel Hughes

      July 22, 2020 at 10:18 pm

      @Pain Exotic  Yeah I have a 512GB SD card, but the phone itself is failing. The battery only lasts about four hours on a good day and I have to constantly uninstall stuff just to update my phone. It also like to eat up my storage when there should technically be space. For example, a few days ago I cleared what amounted to 5GB of space on my phone. After letting it sit for a few hours, there was 1GB available. An hour after that there was no space available. I checked with my phone’s built in scanner and there’s no viruses that it can detect, and I also tried it with the McAfee virus scanner and nothing was detected on there either. But having to restart my phone between 2 and 20 times every day has gotten on my nerves. Not to mention it’s slow answering calls and then likes to say I missed the call even when I pick up the phone. I’m just sick of having to fight my phone just to use it, so yeah, I think it’s time for an upgrade.

      July 23, 2020 at 6:23 am

      @Jibreel Hughes it is because phones require almost 10 gb free storage to act as memory cache.

    This phone can run so fast, my pc can be seen burning a lava miles away.

    I bought the rug phone 2 with the dull screen and the kuni game pad but…it wasn’t worth the price. It does play games beautifully. Even with rom games but i barely picked it up. You can’t really customize the phone with asus andriod system and is very limited

  16. Jeradiah Williams

    July 22, 2020 at 5:04 pm

    My goodness!! As much as I like the Note series, this phone is a great alternative

    I just am wondering how he gets through the doors in the background with that bed in the way…

    Cool phone though. Waiting to see how much of this shows up on the Note 20 Plus…
