All hail the Asus ROG Phone 3, the new spec-sheet champion. Asus announced its new gaming phone today, and this thing's got bigger numbers than anything else on the market or really anything scheduled for the rest of the year.
The ROG Phone 3 is one of the first devices with the new Snapdragon 865 Plus, Qualcomm's brand-new chip that offers a modest frequency bump over the standard Snapdragon 865 that is in most 2020 flagships. The "Plus" version gets 10 percent higher clocks than standard, which means a CPU up to 3.1 GHz and a GPU that runs at 660MHz. Qualcomm's new chip will still get smoked by Apple's A13 Bionic SoC, but this is at least the fastest Android phone on the block, now.
The 6.59-inch, 2340×1080 display runs at 144Hz, making it one of the fastest displays ever fitted to a smartphone (although the first 144Hz display was the Nubia Red Magic 5G). Baseline RAM and storage are 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, with options for 12 and 16GB of RAM, both with 512GB of storage. There's also a hefty 6000mAh battery. Samsung was previously Android's "more is more" manufacturer, but Asus is out-Samsunging Samsung with the ROG Phone. This is a faster SoC, faster display, and bigger battery than the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, and it even beats the rumored specs for the upcoming Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
