Third-gen gaming smartphone series delivers
absolute power with up to the latest Snapdragon 865 Plus, 144 Hz / 1 ms AMOLED
display, and monster 6000 mAh battery
TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 22, 2020 — ASUS Republic of Gamers
(ROG) today announced the new ROG Phone 3 series, the latest generation of the world's
most powerful and exciting gaming smartphone. The series includes the flagship
ROG Phone 3 and the ROG Phone 3 Strix Edition.
ROG Phone 3 is the most powerful ROG Phone ever, using the latest
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 865 Plus 5G Mobile Platform with
advanced 5G mobile communications and Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Gaming™
capabilities. Featuring the uprated GameCool 3 cooling system, ROG Phone 3 is
engineered to deliver non-stop, ultrasmooth performance for the ultimate mobile
gaming experience.
A 144 Hz / 1 ms AMOLED 6.59-inch display provides Delta-E color
accuracy of less than one to ensure vivid and accurate imagery, and an
industry-leading 25-millisecond touch latency allows a near-instant touch
response. The 10-bit display also supports HDR10+ high-dynamic range content
for ultimate visual realism.
ROG Phone 3 design retains the core gamer-centric benefits of its
predecessors, including the unique side-mounted charging port and a monster
6000 mAh battery. The intuitive AirTrigger 3 system now includes a motion
sensor in addition to the programmable ultrasonic touch sensors, giving gamers even
more ways to control the action. The X Mode performance-optimization software now
supports adjustment of multiple system parameters, making it easier than ever
to unlock the full power of ROG Phone 3.
The lineup also includes the exciting new ROG Phone 3 Strix
Edition, which has the same incredible gamer-centric features as ROG Phone 3.
It's powered by the Snapdragon 865 Mobile Platform with a 256 GB UFS 3.1
ROM and 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
Absolute power
ROG Phone 3 is the most powerful ROG Phone ever, using the latest
Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus 5G Mobile Platform, which enables staggering
multi-gigabit 5G connectivity and advanced WiFi 6 performance, desktop-level
gaming with ultra-realistic graphics, professional-quality high-resolution photography,
and intuitive AI experiences. ROG Phone 3 also features Snapdragon Elite Gaming,
which delivers ultrasmooth HDR gaming experiences with sustained performance for
longer periods of time.
With up to 16 GB of the latest LPDDR5 RAM and up to an ultrafast
512 GB UFS 3.1 ROM, ROG Phone 3 delivers the ultimate in overall performance,
so gamers can enjoy a super-smooth gaming experience with absolutely no limitations
or compromises.
The enhanced X Mode performance-optimization software now allows
customization of different system parameters to suit any gaming or using
scenario. In conjunction with carefully calibrated defaults for optimum
performance, it's easier than ever for serious gamers to unlock the full power
of ROG Phone 3.
The upgraded GameCool 3 cooling system has a redesigned 3D vapor
chamber, a large graphite film behind the screen to maximize heat transfer, and
an enlarged heat sink that's precisely located to eliminate hotspots. The new
cooling system is one of the most effective thermal solutions available on a mobile
device, and can remove and dissipate the heat generated during full-speed
operation via specially designed vents in the back cover. This allows ROG Phone
3 to easily sustain peak performance during heavy gaming sessions, eliminating
throttling to give gamers an expert edge against the competition. For extra cooling
during marathon gaming sessions, the new AeroActive Cooler 3 clip-on external
fan accessory has been completely redesigned to deliver increased airflow to the
hotspots on the casing to lower an astounding amount of heat for greater and longer
performance.
Groundbreaking new ROG HyperFusion technology combined with multi-antenna
WiFi and 5G allows simultaneous connections to WiFi and the mobile network,
with intelligent redirection to whichever has the best signal. This allows mobile
gamers to enjoy the strongest possible signal at all times for uninterrupted
connections.
Stunning visuals
ROG Phone 3 is equipped with a stunning 144 Hz / 1 ms AMOLED 10-bit
display. It's combined with an industry-leading 270 Hz touch-sampling rate that
dramatically decreases touch latency to an unprecedented 25 ms, delivering the extreme
responsiveness needed to sustain a winning streak. To ensure that visuals on
ROG Phone 3 look just like the developer intended, each display is carefully
color-calibrated to ensure a Delta-E color accuracy of less than one — making
it one of the most color-accurate displays available on a smartphone. There's also
HDR10+ high-dynamic range support for enhanced visual realism. To minimize eye
strain while delivering impeccable visuals, ROG Phone 3 passes TÜV Rheinland Low
Blue Light (Hardware Solution) and Flicker Reduced certifications.
Monster battery
The monster 6000 mAh battery in ROG Phone 3 has stamina that can
be relied on for even the longest battles. There are multiple passive
power-saving mechanisms, including an exclusive hibernate function that can proactively
limit background data and power usage in selected apps. These mechanisms significantly
prolong the time between charges and also increase battery lifespan.
Built for gamers, by gamers
Fully immersive gaming with total control is the design goal of
ROG Phone 3, which retains the pioneering landscape-oriented ergonomic design
of its predecessors.
Upgraded AirTrigger 3 technology provides extra-precise ultrasonic
touch controls along the edges of the phone. The gesture capabilities of the
AirTrigger 3 side sensors have been further enhanced, including a newly added swipe
gesture and dual-partition button emulation, giving gamers a console-level gaming
experience. There's also a brand-new motion sensor that adds another gesture to
the armory, allowing gamers to control the action by shaking the device: it's a
whole new way to interact with the device. AirTrigger 3 gives gamers the very best
controls available on a gaming smartphone, and sets the ultimate bar for the competition.
The unique side-mounted USB-C® charging port lets users
keep their battery topped up without cramping their style while gaming. The
port also connects accessories such as the AeroActive Cooler 3, which features a
pass-through USB-C connector, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a new kickstand on the back
to support ROG Phone 3 on a desk or table for a better viewing and gaming experience.
ROG Phone 3 also receives a significant upgrade to its audio performance,
tuned in collaboration with audio specialist Dirac. The DXOMARK Audio review gives
ROG Phone 3 a high score of 75 for its audio performance, the reviewer stating
that "ROG Phone 3 seriously upped its audio game, achieving true flagship
level." DXOMARK Audio also noted that "Despite noticeable bass resonances,
audio played back through its speakers demonstrates good overall tonal balance,
good dynamics, and good intelligibility even at minimum volumes."
There's now a dedicated Game Mode to further enhance in-game sound
effects for immersive gameplay. The powerful dual front-facing speakers
positioned at the top and bottom of the phone are now more capable of delivering
richer and detailed sound, giving perfect stereo imaging in landscape mode. ROG
Phone 3 also supports Qualcomm aptX™ Adaptive for low-latency
high-quality audio over Bluetooth® connections.
ROG Phone 3 introduces ROG Connect, a new online social community —
built into the Armoury Crate app — that allows ROG Phone 3 owners to join and
play with friends or squads, or even wow the crowd with their uploaded genius gameplay
footage and screenshots. ROG Phone 3 gives gamers the very best sharing and community
experience.
The unrivaled range of modular accessories for ROG Phone 3 includes
the new modular ROG Kunai 3 Gamepad which adds physical console-like gamepad
controls to ROG Phone 3; the new ROG Lighting Armor Case for a stunning appearance;
and ROG Clip to attach the phone to selected console controllers for the
ultimate mobile gaming experience. ROG Phone 3 can also be expanded to provide
true 144 Hz dual-screen gameplay with the new TwinView Dock 3, and the Mobile
Desktop Dock allows gamers to connect a desktop keyboard and mouse for a desktop-like
gaming experience on an external TV or monitor.
ROG Phone 3 is also proudly partnering with Stadia and Unity to
establish a truly integrated gaming ecosystem. Together, the partnership aims
to build a more complete mobile gaming experience for today’s gamers by
providing their favorite gaming content on the go.
