    Keep begging for features while we enjoy Ultrrrra smooth 144hz premium display than won't be given to you until year 2030.

      Hemedans, 23 Jul 2020rog phone 2 did beat iphone 11 in some sustained benchmarks... moreNo the iPhone mange’s to be more than just for games, while on top of that still has a better gaming catalogue than any android.

      List all the specs you want, there are still too few good games in android to bother with a gaming phone.

        SizN80, 23 Jul 2020Camera still behind iPhones IP rating still behind iPhones... morerog phone 2 did beat iphone 11 in some sustained benchmarks, i wont be suprised if rog 3 beat iphone again.

        and this phone is not about having benchmark leadership its about gaming experience, does stainless or alluminium give more edge in gaming?

          SizN80, 23 Jul 2020Camera still behind iPhones IP rating still behind iPhones... moreConsidering this unit finally has way more global bands, they pretty much covered that part now. Strix version is probably gonna hit the other regions of Europe.

            ThePong, 23 Jul 2020What do you think? 🤔I bet you have zero phones.
            All these lies about using Samsung and hating on them.
            You probably using some 50$ craaaap.

                SizN80, 23 Jul 2020So performance still behind Apple a13 then,cool story.A13 is a joke of a processor, pure throttling mess further limited by handicapped ecosystem of iOS.

                  Seems like a good phone.

                    Fahad89, 23 Jul 2020Lolz still no match for apple A13 🤭😁Only next year’s 2021 Snapdragon flagship chip will come close to apple’s 2019 A13, loool and even then we still not sure if it will beat it outright.

                      Anonymous, 23 Jul 2020But everything else ahead iphone. That's the cool storyCamera still behind iPhones
                      IP rating still behind iPhones
                      Chip still behind iPhones
                      Build quality still behind iPhones (aluminum vs iPhone stainless steel)
                      Global availability waaaay behind iPhones :D looool

                      The list goes on.This a great spec phone though,if you want to talk about specs instead of using it then this is for those people.

                            Anonymous, 23 Jul 2020Lol LCD uses more power to illuminate black color than OLED... moreNo.

                            LCD uses same amount of power for black, white, green, red, yellow, blue, purple etc ...
                            Oled uses zero for black, but uses 2x compared to LCD for white.

                            Oled changes brightness according to how much white on screen.
                            This is how some cmpanies advertise 900, 1000 or 1100 nits.
                            Using a white dot that is equivalent of 1% of screen surface.

                            Chrome is the most used app.
                            Just few websites give option to go black.
                            While browsing, phone with oled uses more power than one with LCD.
                            Unless,you have anything black, you are not saving power. Just using even more.

                              So rog 3 cooling better now? Too many dead motherboard issues on rog 1 and rog 2 becuz of overclock problem

                                That is one of the most comprehensive reviews that I've ever read. Keep up the good work!

                                  Fahad89, 23 Jul 2020Lolz still no match for apple A13 🤭😁It's just benchmark numbers. They do not account for real-world performance. iPhone will throttle to maximum 15% under load (Android flagships with cooling chamber throttles to less than 10%, while gaming phones virtually do not throttle. Poorly optimised/cooled Androids like realme have a lot of performance reduction).

                                  If I consider all the above, iPhone is equivalent to a SD855+ Android with cooling. Still pretty good, but can be better.

                                    Fahad89, 23 Jul 2020Lolz still no match for apple A13 🤭😁Benchmark it a few more times. A13 will throttle while SD865+ in the RoG Phone 3 will maintain its performance. Sure, Apple had been dominating in the benchmarks ever since the Bionic series of A processors is released but like all things, their days are numbered.

                                      Lolz still no match for apple A13 🤭😁

                                        BliTTzZ, 23 Jul 2020From what I know it's not true 10 bit but rather 8 bit... moreThere is no reliable way that I know of to really verify this, but I have spoken to Asus engineers and they explicitly state it is a proper 10 bit panel. I have no reason to doubt that.
