144Hz AMOLED with 64MP-headlining rear triple-camera system
Right off the bat, the ROG Phone 3 is already a powerhouse in the display department. It features a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen with 1,080 x 2,340 pixels, alongside a high refresh rate of 144Hz.
Additionally, the phone’s display is HDR10+-compliant and features an equally high 270Hz touch sampling rate. The screen is also TÜV Low Blue Light-certified.
On its rear, the ROG Phone 3 still sports a LED-lit ROG logo, which lights up during gaming. The new addition on the back panel of the device is another sensor in its now-triple-camera setup.
The rear camera system is headlined by a 64MP Sony IMX686 primary sensor and is backed by a 13MP ultrawide lens and a macro camera. For selfies, the notch-less screen houses a large 24MP snapper.
ROG Phone 3: Snapdragon 865+ and 6,000mAh battery
