ASUS ROG Phone 3
I have been using the ASUS ROG Phone 3 to close to a month. My previous phone (an LG V20) was getting old and slow. I am really appreciating the new, speedy ASUS phone with its bright AMOLED screen and loud speakers.
I am not a gamer. I use the phone to consume media and browse the internet. The phone has been great for watching YouTube and online media.
What I enjoy (in no order):
1. The bright, colourful screen
2. The front firing stereo speakers (great for music)
3. The great battery life and battery care options
4. The weight of the phone (it is well balanced and feels premium)
5. I ordered the Lighting Armour case and enjoy the look and feel...Read more

Same price as the ROG Phone 2 but even better!
I upgraded my ROG Phone 2 to a ROG Phone 3. I was surprised that Asus didn't increase the price of the ROG Phone 3. The ROG Phone 3 come with a better screen with 144Hz refresh rate and a better AirTrigger which make gaming more easier as I can now trigger most of the buttons in one place. I also like the new design of the AeroActive Cooler which has a kickstand. Now I can play games and watch movies at a better viewing experience when I have the fan on!
I hope Asus can bring back the 3.5mm audio jack and add wireless charging and water resistant in ROG Phone 4!

ROG Phone 3 12GB 512GB.
Almost the absolute best specs in phones if we could get the 16GB version in Aus.
Pros:
6,000mAh Battery.
Options to charge your phone up to 80%, 90% or 100% to extend battery lifespan.
Option for slow charging at 10W to extend battery lifespan.
6.59 Inch 144Hz (160Hz in Dev options with ADB mode on a computer).
Snapdragon 865+ is super snappy with every day tasks and gaming.
Amazing dual front facing speakers.
Neutral:...Read more
Doesn't come with Earphones. No wireless charging. The phone is 240g and is huge that can be a negative for many people. Not the best rear cameras on a phone but it's a gaming phone. Cons: No support for Telstra VoLTE or VoWIFI. Always on Display doesn't show notification icons (Lock screen does show them). The front facing camera quality is bad for video calls so would likely be poor for live streaming as well (Lots of noise).Purchased in October 2020 at JB Hi-Fi for $1,614.00.

Future Proof your phone
ASUS ROG Phone 3 12GB Ram 512GB Storage
I hardly upgrade my phone unless it's necessary. When my phone was due for an upgrade, I researched the market for a phone that will last a long time. After careful research on the market, the best available phone that has the best specification in Australia at this time is the ASUS ROG Phone 3.
It's only been a week since using the phone and it's been performing well. I am very impressed with the overall performance.
Display: Rating 5 out of 5
The display is clear and crisp with a large screen to boot. It runs apps and games smoothly especially with the raw power built into the phone.

One small step for man, one giant leap for Gamers
I was anxious about buying the ROG Phone 3. On all accounts the Asus ROG Phone 3 is a gaming phone with huge "Gamer" overtones. I was worried that all the hype around the phone was based on its novelty, it's uniqueness. To be honest most reviews online turned me off, they emphasised the negative connotations that are akin to many of the Gamer orientated products out there. But I stayed true to the facts and I was not let down. The ROG Phone 3 is a behemoth of a phone with incredible specs.
What drew me to the phone was it's battery life, batte...Read more
ry optimisation and customisation. The ability to create battery modes to limit certain functions, the ability to cap the total charge capacity and charge at an ultra low rate mean that the ROG phone 3 will last longer than any other phone with similar specs (not that there are many). Not to mention the initial size of the battery already being a standout on the market at 6000mAh. Furthermore, the ability to finely manage background processes, RAM usage and the security of my phone all from within the settings of the phone, without having to download a bunch of third party software just makes sense. Now the Camera Quality leaves a lot to be desired, but personally the Camera on a phone is a tool for saving information, not really for creating art or showing off. The basic functionality and picture quality is all I need. Additionally, along with great customisation comes great confusion. There are a lot of settings on this phone and some have unforseen affects on battery life and performance if not utilised well. This phone is not for people who like to set and forget.Purchased in September 2020 at JB Hi-Fi Online Store for $1,699.00.

*Me coming home from Harvey Norman with my new phone.*
**My mother: What on earth is in the container
**My missus: Are you sure there is a phone in that or did you get something else!?
**My niece: I refuse to believe this a phone case!
Every body was shocked with how it looked and how durable it was. The fan shocked everyone!
I viewed the specs for ROG Phone II and I wanted it so bad but couldn't because recently got a phone. Now ROG Phone III came out I immediately reserved mine and started to enjoy everything about except the camera...

not just a gimmick, a phone packed with features for gamers
via the game genie app, you can mapping on screen coordinates for any gamepad controller, and toggle to traditional button maping, 4 zone air trigger zones, with on screen coordinate, in game sscreen recording, toggable crosshairs, programmable macros, in game live streaming, overclocked processor, an extremely large battery and able to go over a day of usage (6000mah), auto adjustable refresh rate, the most powerful phone on the market, and an emulation beast
other phone review sites over this phone in the context over other phones, they gloss almost completely what makes this such a fantastic "GAMING" phone and miss the point entirely

Gamer since birth
To start up I switched from razer phone 2 to rog phone 3. I am a gamer since birth and gadgets are the most important thing for gamers. I played a lot of mobile games 24/7 for example ragnarok mobile. Battery wise rog 3 is better. Why? My razer phone 2 needs to be plugged in because if not battery will die after 2-3 hours. Rog phone 3 takes more than 6 hours game time without being charged. Also to highlight playing 3 hours straight on my razer phone 2 keeps my phone very hot compared to rog phone 3 with cooler it is very smooth I dont feel any...Read more
heat on my phone at all. About the camera I thought gaming phone have the worst camera ever because on my razer 2 to be honest camera is not good, but I am amazed with rog phone 3 it has very good camera and clear capture front and back. Sound quality is good but ill say they are the same with razer phone 2 both of them has good sound quality. Air trigger is a plus 1 compared to other phone because some games requires right and left button example pubg, fortnite. To sum up I am very satisfied with rog phone 3 and even if I dont get the cetra earbuds I will still purchase it. Once a gamer always a gamer and whats money? Paper only.. Hahaha.. Peace! I give rog phone 2 10 stars all based on facts and personal experience! Thank you asus for this monster machine I knew all gamers like me feels the same way..

Quite literally a game changer.
The phone has the perfect mixture of hardware and software, I really appreciate the gaming software and battery care options. Cameras are good enough for every day use and are not a deal breaker for me. Speakers are otherworldly, both speakers are on the front side and deliver exceptional sound quality and volume. The battery on full charge lasts me 2 days which made my portable charger redundant. Although I wish there would be more options with battery care as slow charging is really slow but without it the phone heats up noticeably during charging, so some middle ground would be nice. Gaming on the phone is another experience altogether with game genie and air triggers.

Absolutely a beast of a phone
Let me start by saying if you currently are wondering whether to buy the phone, and have an iPhone just do it. It's the best thing I've ever done.
The usefulness and ease of operation is seriously second to none, from the quality of the screen to the amazing camera functions all the way down to how the phone responds to your fingers.
One thing I thought I'd struggle with was going to Android from ios and the transition was flawless, you can get all your stuff over on to your new phone within a few minutes.

Questions & Answers
Sorry, there are no questions yet.
Details
With the ASUS ROG Phone 3’s release in July 2020 replacing ROG Phone 2, it’s often showcased as the most advanced gaming phone today.
ASUS ROG Phone 3 Features
This gaming phone's more enviable features include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus Chipset, which the ROG Phone 3 is the first phone to use. According to Qualcomm, this provides desktop-quality gaming, while 5G connectivity and a refresh rate of 144 fps allows for smooth, immersive gameplay.
Other features that can sweeten the deal are 512GB of ROM - offering abundant storage capacity, and a 6, 000 mAh battery, which is likely to be durable, and help facilitate longer gaming sessions.
Extra Features
There are some extras that can be used for specific games, such as AirTriggers and clip-on accessories, like the clip-on fan included in the box (which also has a built-in 3.5mm jack).
Cameras
If you value your smartphone photography, the cameras on the ASUS ROG Phone 3 aren’t as high-end as those you may find on a non-gaming phone. However for plenty of reviewers, it was described as good enough for everyday use, and generally didn't make them love this phone any less.
The ASUS ROG Phone 3’s performance is such a hit with mobile gamers that this phone has won a 2021 ProductReview.com.au Award for Best Mobile Phone. Top scores were awarded for impressive battery life and hardware - both of which have unbeatable 5-star ratings.
