What’s inside the ROG Phone 3?
The ROG Phone 3 is the most powerful Android smartphone in the world.

Along with the powerful Snapdragon 865 Plus processor there is an 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage (unfortunately there is no support for SD cards). Asus will also sell a model with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of storage. This variant is priced at Rs 57,999. The ROG Phone 3’s display has a major update. There is a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen with a 2340 × 1080 resolution and HDR 10+ support. But the AMOLED screen is a 144Hz screen with 1ms response time, but it also supports 275Hz touch response. Asus ROG Phone 3 is one of the few smartphones that features a fast refresh rate screen of 144Hz (the ROG Phone 2 had a 120Hz AMOLED screen). The display also supports an in-display fingerprint scanner. Another great highlight of this tank-type smartphone is a 6000mAh battery. The battery should easily last more than a day, depending on usage. The phone also comes with a 30W fast charger (Quick Charge 4.0 compatible)
