Asus is one of a small handful of companies designing high-end phones specifically for gaming. A lot of mainstream models are advertised as “gaming phones” because of their processors or screens, and yes, they do run games relatively well. However, the Asus ROG Phone series is actually designed for gaming first and everything else later, and it's meant for people who have very generous spending limits. The hardware and software are customised, and features are added or subtracted based primarily on what will give you the best possible experience, and if needed, a competitive advantage in games. We now have the third-generation Asus ROG Phone 3 with us, and here are our first impressions.
First of all, the ROG Phone 3 is much more in line with mainstream design trends than the original ROG Phone (Review) and even the ROG Phone 2 (Review). Subtlety wasn't one of the company's design goals before, but what we have now is a relatively toned-down version of the gamer aesthetic and a much slicker look overall.
