ASUS ROG Phone 3 to launch on July 22

ASUS ROG will introduce the third iteration of its gaming phone on July 22, which will stream online at 11 am (GMT-4.) or 11 pm Taipei time (GMT+8). The Taiwanese company launched its official site with a countdown timer for the event. ASUS ROG has been keeping the ROG Phone 3 under wraps, but a leaked hands-on video above shows you what to expect in terms of hardware.

According to TENAA listing, the ROG Phone 3 will reportedly have a 6.59-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen, in-display fingerprint scanner, up to 12GB of RAM, up to 256GB of storage, Android 10, and a 5,800mAh battery. It'll supposedly support dual-mode 5G (SA/NSA) and come with an octa-core processor clocked at 3.09GHz, which people believe is the yet-to-be-announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+ chipset. It'll have a triple-camera setup at the back, but we only know that it'll have a 64-megapixel primary and 13-megapixel secondary shooters. The listing also indicated it'd have an 8x optical zoom, suggesting one of the lenses is a telephoto lens. It'll just have one selfie camera.

These are the new ASUS ROG Phone II accessories

ASUS Republic of Gamers

The ROG Phone II needs some accessories to make it a worthy purchase. And ASUS prepared a few alongside the launch of the new phone.

We get the new AeroActive Cooler II, which is four times quieter than the original at 24dB. It’s designed to keep the exterior of the phone cooler and help drop temperature by 5 degrees lower. At the same time, it doubles as a kickstand, so you can leave the phone on the table and uses a wireless controller.

ASUS ROG Phone II vies for gaming phone crown

ASUS Republic of Gamers

The gaming phone segment isn’t exactly a big market. But there are several contenders there. And after a year since it launched its first model, ASUS is back with a bigger and better model. ASUS didn’t change much with the phone’s design but improved it in other respects. The ROG Phone II is the first smartphone to sport the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, a tweaked version of the 855 built for better gaming and virtual reality use. The phone now has a 6.59-inch display with a 120Hz 10-bit HDR screen with 1ms latency. It now shows images twice as fast as the 60Hz of a normal phone, but this also has 60Hz and 90Hz modes available.

The ROG Phone II also now gets a bigger 6,000mAh battery, which is one of the biggest out there for a smartphone. But if you expect to game a lot on this device, then you’ll burn through this quicker. ASUS promises up to seven hours of non-stop PUBG action on this device. And with 30W ROG HyperCharge using a standard 3A cable, it can charge up pretty quickly, too.
