Asus ROG Phone 3 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
4.0/5
Verdict
If it is the ultimate gaming smartphone that you are looking for, then ASUS` ROG Phone 3 has delivered with what is quite likely the most powerful smartphone in the Indian market. However, if it is an everyday flagship that you want, the latest OnePlus 8 Pro (review) or the iQOO 3 (review) could be a more reasonable choice.
Pros
- Unreal speeds
- Highly colour accurate and smooth 144Hz display
- Best-in-class battery life
- Stereo speakers are amazing
Cons
- Quite heavy
- Cameras are average
- Iffy fingerprint scanner
- Design would appeal to a niche audience
Performance and software
+
If hardware specs were a kingdom then the ROG Phone 3 is the King. Whether it's the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max (review) or the Samsung S20 Ultra (review) or the OnePlus 8 Pro, no one can top the ROG Phone 3 in terms of sheer processing prowess. Under the hood, is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ chipset, a first in the world of smartphones. ASUS says that the SD865+ provides a 10 percent increase in graphical performance as compared to the Snapdragon 865. As usual, it wouldn't be a ROG Phone without a bit of CPU overclocking, and as such the 865+ on the device has a maximum frequency of 3.1GHz. This is significant because the ROG Phone 3 is the first phone to cross the 3.0GHz threshold after boosting the clock speeds last year to 2.91GHz. ASUS has worked with Qualcomm to customise the clock speeds manually for apps that are not processor intensive to conserve battery.
