 Hey guys, Thundee here and the king is back I'm talking about the ROG phone 3 and welcome to my review of this device as we've been waiting for this device This thing is a behemoth of a gaming device and you know, we love gaming devices on this channel So the ROG phone 3 packs in a lot of features and when you look at it Just side by side to the ROG phone 2 looks kind of similar except for a few a design accents And of course the camera way at the back plus the ROG phone 2 doesn't have we have a headphone jack The ROG phone 3 does not have a headphone jack But the cameras are nice 64 megapixels 8k recording will get to that because we care about what's under the hood and under the hood we have a Snapdragon 865 plus processor Yes, plus plus the new one the new one that Qualcomm just mentioned which means better performance than the 865 and we it's also coupled with up to 16 gigabytes of RAM, which is What I have in this device it starts from 8 it moves all the way to 16 now This is also coupled with 512 gigabytes of storage and max which is what I also have and we have a 6000 mAh battery how long does that take to charge well an hour and 45 minutes or so And that's using the 30 watt charger that comes with it and I will say this though it takes about an hour and Maybe ten minutes to charge all the way to about eighty nine ninety percent So the last ten percent really trickle charges you on this device just something that happens But anyway besides that what else do we have in this device the display? 6.59 inches It's a no started 60. It's done a 90. It's done a 120. It's a hundred and forty four Hertz display Which is amazing plus that's coupled with 270 Hertz touch sampling, which means Smoother actions while you're gaming just your thumb is sliding around on the screen and we'll see how that performs It's also pretty bright display, and we've got stereo speakers. So without wasting any more time Let's take a quick look at some of the games will be discussing as we discuss this device So some quick gameplay clips for you All right So as you know I had to start off called you mobile because I play a lot of card war zone Collegy mobile is my go-to on a mobile device and the first thing I'll tell you is that it runs well on the max setting runs Really smooth you can see through game genie there that our frame rates were about 60 frames per second Temperatures about 39 and we're running the X mode, which means it is at the highest clock speed We can do on this device So you also saw that was using triggers while gaming and that is something you can do with this of course with the air Triggers set up on the right hand side of the device Which make it pretty easy and great now moving over to pub G pub G also taking advantage of those air triggers and also looking at it and running this game at its max game setting extreme HDR This thing ran really well. I mean again that touch sampling 270 Hertz. It's great It is absolutely fantastic. You need that. I won't say you necessarily need that But it just it makes a great experience for you while gaming now temperatures for pub G ran at much higher at 42 degrees Maybe 43 again, we're running at a much higher setting here But it still ran well and also those temperatures were gauged and matched with my own thermometer gun Right, which basically measured both pub G and called you more between 39 and 42 So that's something of course to take note now when we move over to not a different type of game called Dan the man, which is a side scroller action adventure Of course, he's not going to use as much in terms of performance But you clearly see how the 144 Hertz and the touch at sampling come to play Giving you really smooth fast gameplay very quick, but you're saying then the eat that's great What about games that hit 120 frames per second 144? Well, I've got a few for you. First was the 1945 Air Force game which actually played pretty well as a top-down shooter with the fast But again, it's not a graphics powerhouse and it did 144 frames per second, which is great But vanglory came to the rescue and this game of course is a graphical masterpiece. It takes in a lot of Performance but also ran at a hundred three forty four frames per second So this system can run the things you want to quite well and quite effectively Now this is also coupled with the software that makes your gaming experience better And I think for any gaming phone that is probably one of the most important things so one of the first softwares you always want to check out is the Game crate game crate is a piece of software allows you to go through your game library And you know, that's something that's normal, but you can launch your games directly You can also set up scenarios for your game So you can clean the memory you can set up the performance you want that game to run at the display touch sensitivity Refresh rates all those things you go for every single game you want to see if you do that But you also have your console section where you can go into x-mode or turn off x-mode and x-mode basically Overclock to your CPU or basically max out your CPU clock speed You can clean out your RAM you can change your fan speed for the fan that you use while gaming Also the lighting effects and all that stuff and speaking of that fan We've got a fan that comes with the energy phone 3 which came with the energy phone 2 as well Now that's pretty cool because you can connect it to these side USB ports This the device has two USB ports one on the side one of the bottom one and another one on the side And that USB port connects and to give you an external fan to cool your system I will say the fan was able to drop temperatures about three or four degrees But it's a bit disappointing was didn't drop temperatures as much as I experienced with the energy phone 2 So that's a little bit of a bummer, but I think that's something that be changed with changing the fan red Revolutions and that's pretty much that but with the fan You do have an extra headphone jack which is missing on this device So you do have the ability to use headphones if you're using the fan of the energy phone 3 now The other piece of software is the game genie and the reason I like the game genie is because this allows you to go and Customize your software while you're gaming so it allows you to see of course things like your frames per second Your temperatures, but you can go in and customize your air triggers And the air triggers are really important because we use them for games like PUBG and Call of Duty mobile And it's easy to actually set those up. You can customize macros you can record gameplay You can clip gameplay. There's so many things you can do directly by the swiping from left to right with that So a lot of those features work well, and I'm really impressed, but you're going Thunder E What about audio? We heard gameplay audio was good, but how are the speakers? Well, take a quick listen So the speakers are good. They're really good. They're loud. They're boomy You know, you've got a built-in EQ as well where you can customize that you can change the bass to treble All the different settings in the EQ you've got different customization So you've got a lot of things to do there giving you some really clean sound. I think This is an overall solid gaming package But as a phone you still have cameras and what do those cameras do? They actually do a decent job. You've got a 64 megapixel Rare camera that shoots at 8k and it gave me it's pretty good. I was quite impressed But also take some really good photos in daytime Also take some really good portrait photos with the rare with a rare camera as well And also take some decent night time photos as well So you've got a ray there and the front-facing camera at 32 megapixels does a good job in capturing really solid photos and also Doing some good portrait shots as well. So as a gaming phone This is like a good bang for your buck all around in terms of just performance and also extra features The 144 hertz display is really nice really smooth motion while just running around the The os you can set it on 144. You can drop it down to 60 you can set it at auto So it actually just Maximizes your battery life and battery life on this is really nice If you are running 144 hertz and you are gaming you will still be able to use this phone for a whole day That's pretty cool. I don't wait for 144 hertz on the display Is not an easy thing to do So I was quite impressed with the battery life on this thing I would say yes, some gave me not extensive gaming On that note, but the battery life is truly impressive and with everything that's coupled together I think a lot of people will like what this device brings to the table now I will say though in terms of cost I don't have the american pricing for you I do have the british pricing and I can tell you that it starts off with the rg phone 3 string edition With is which is the 865 8 gigs around 256 gigabytes of storage at 799 pounds and goes all the way up to the rg phone 3 with the 865 plus 16 gigs around 512 gigabytes of storage at 1099 pounds so US pricing will come and it most likely will differ But that's where the phone lands at least with the pricing that I know So if you have any questions or any comments about this device if you want to know more, let me know Otherwise don't forget to like share subscribe leave your thoughts.
