ASUS ROG Phone 2 – Possibly the Most Powerful Gaming Phone Available
June 21, 2020
The Asus ROG Phone 2 was one of the most powerful gaming phones in 2019 and its successor — the ROG Phone 3 — could once again offer blazing-fast performance. The upcoming device has appeared in a TENAA listing (h/t XDA Developers), revealing a familiar outer design but upgraded insides. The Asus ROG Phone 3 will apparently feature an overclocked Snapdragon 865 processor. The prime core on the chipset is usually clocked at 2.84GHz, but as per the TENAA listing, the ROG Phone 3 will boost the frequency to 3.091GHz. There’s no mention of other overclocked CPU and GPU cores, but according to TENAA, the RAM on the phone will also get an upgrade to 16GB. This will make the ROG Phone 3 the third smartphone in 2020 after the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and Nubia Red Magic 5Gto sport 16GB RAM.
Upfront, the phone retains its 6.59-inch AMOLED display. The resolution of the new phone is set at FHD+ like its predecessor. The refresh rate isn’t mentioned in the TENAA listing but expect the phone to get the same 120Hz screen as before.
The gaming phone retains its large 6,000mAh battery and up to 512GB internal storage. There’s no 1TB storage variant mentioned in the listing. Asus seems to be adding a third camera although there are no details mentioned about the new sensor, but the main camera has been upgraded to 64MP, up from the 48MP on the ROG Phone. The headphone section in the TENAA listing reveals that the phone’s USB-C ports will double up as the audio port, which requires a separate adapter to use 3.5mm earphones with the ROG Phone 3 or buy a pair of true wireless earbuds.
The phone features Android 10 out of the box, likely with ROG UI customizations on top. Previous report suggested that the gaming phone could be unveiled in July. Price details are also unavailable but expect it to cost around $1,000 given its overclocked CPU and other possible feature upgrades.
