Last week Asus said it will unveil the ROG
Phone 3 in July and today the Taiwanese technology company announced the gaming
smartphone will arrive on July 22. Asus made this announcement on its official
site with a countdown timer that ends on July 22. The launch event will be
streamed online starting at 11PM local time (UTC+8).
Asus hasn't divulged any details of the
ROG Phone 3 yet, but a hands-on video that surfaced last month revealed the
phone's design. The ROG Phone 3 was also spotted on TENAA with its full specs,
which include a 6.59" FullHD+ AMOLED screen in-display fingerprint
scanner, up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB storage, Android 10, and a 5,800 mAh
battery.
The ROG Phone 3 will support dual-mode 5G
(SA/NSA) and pack an octa-core processor clocked at 3.09GHZ which could be a
part of the yet unannounced Snapdragon 865+ SoC. For photography, the ROG Phone
3 will feature a total of four cameras but TENAA only tells us about two - the
64MP main camera and the 13MP secondary module.
However, the listing reveals the
smartphone will come with 8x optical zoom so it's safe to say that one of the
three rear cameras will have a telephoto lens, with the last one likely having
an ultrawide lens.
