Outside of gaming, the phone ticks most boxes, with a triple rear camera array comprising 64MP main, ultra-wide, and macro shooters – which are fine, although the lack of a serious zoom capability is noticeable. The refined Kunai 3 Gamepads, for instance, lose their angular look, bringing them even closer in appearance to Switch Joy-Cons than the ROG II’s controllers. The AeroActive Cooler 3 fan has been upgraded, as have the newest versions of the ROG 3’s signature peripherals.
The AirTriggers, which operate like touch shoulder buttons when the phone is held in landscape orientation, have been refined to track fingers making gestures that previous ROG phones couldn’t track for more finite control.Īsus wanted to do all of this while retaining the ROG II’s general shape and weight, to keep it compatible with earlier peripherals, but fitting in the external 5G modem meant something had to go, and the ROG 3 ditches the beloved 3.5mm jack however there’s one of those on the AeroActive Cooler 3 clip-on fan (which is included in the box), so it’s not the end of the world. Asus’ signature Armoury Crate software has even more settings for owners to tinker with, from CPU and GPU refresh rates to internal temperature control and network preferences. While those power users might be sore over the visual redesign, in most other respects the ROG 3 is a love letter to them.
