4,5/5

Take the world's best gaming smartphone. Keep its screen, but increase its refresh rate a little more. Update its platform, without compromising on power. Improve heat dissipation to avoid performance loss. Integrate a new triple photo sensor more in line with the requirements of the high-end. And you get ROG Phone 3, the gamer's dream and the nightmare of competing opponents.

9/10

The fastest smartphone ever, ROG Phone 3 ticks almost all of the boxes. Well calibrated and ultra responsive screen? Check. Robust autonomy? Check. Good quality sound performance? Check. Without forgetting an Android overlay and a myriad of software optimizations to take advantage of all its gaming features.

9/10

Asus delivers an excellent ROG Phone 3, a worthy successor to the ROG Phone II. With a sober design but still gamer oriented, the smartphone is efficient with excellent autonomy. Add to that a nice screen and excellent speakers to keep you busy on those long summer days. The Air Trigger 3s are always a real plus in the game, as is the all-around gaming ecosystem which can only improve the overall gaming experience. A real Geek product, as we like them.

Gold

If you are looking for a smartphone that can take whatever load you throw at it, the ROG Phone 3 is just what you need. It is so powerful, that it literally scored highest in ALL of our benchmark tests INCLUDING the battery test. I thought the ROG Phone 3 was rushed, but I've been proved very wrong!

the accessories available for the ROG Phone 3 is fantastic. I love how ASUS has committed to making the accessories backward compatible with its previous generations of hardware.

The ASUS ROG Phone 3 achieves top-level performance through the synergy of its components: the CPU, the high-speed RAM and the storage.

Recommended

The ASUS ROG Phone 3 features the most advanced hardware platform available today. Its sound quality is high when using the speakers.

Premium Award

In our opinion, this is a smartphone focused on a very specific audience, especially for those who take their mobile gaming quite seriously. The more "aggressive" design fits well for the audience where it focuses, and if you want the best possible performance for games, it is undoubtedly an excellent option.

All good things come in threes - Asus convinced us with the third generation of its gaming smartphone in the test, the ROG Phone 3. The "Republic of Gamers" handy not only provides an unbeaten battery life at the time of testing, but also a very good display, which is second to none.

When it comes to gaming, the AirTrigger 3 & Ultrasonic buttons are packed with more features now. Compared to the ROG Phone 2 where you can only tap/squeeze the air triggers, there are a lot more you can do with it. For example, the Ultrasonic buttons now also support swiping and dual partition button.

With a 144Hz display with awesome colors as well as a chipset that can handle everything that you can throw at it, the ROG Phone 3 is undoubtedly a premiere gaming smartphone for the hardcore.

ASUS has pretty much nailed the concept of the gaming phone with the ROG Phone 3. The thoughtful gaming-centric touches like the virtual shoulder buttons relocated charging port, and support for a myriad of accessories make it one of the best, if not the best, gaming phone you can buy this year.

The best innovation from this laptop is on the dual screens which have a very different mechanism from those used in the ZenBook Duo and ZenBook Pro Duo

The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo is a flagship laptop that is arguably perfect. Especially with the presence of two screens that differentiate it from other premium gaming laptops

A mobile that also beats the specifications of your computer.

In fact, we get everything we expect from a top-of-the-line device in 2020, from 5G capability to OLED display, and therefore the price of 290,000 HUF is not so expensive.
