**First Impressions: ASUS ROG Phone 3 Review**

I've been playing with the ASUS ROG Phone 3, and I have to say that it's an impressive device. The phone comes with a battery pack that can be attached to the back of the phone, which provides extra power when needed. This feature is particularly useful for gaming, as it allows you to keep your phone charged throughout long gaming sessions.

The display on this phone is quite interesting. It has a 6.55-inch AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 90Hz, although the default setting is 60Hz. The frame rate can be adjusted in the settings menu, which is convenient for those who want more control over their gaming experience. When I swiped through the options menu, I was able to adjust the display settings to my liking.

One of the standout features of this phone is its haptic feedback motor, which provides a very immersive gaming experience. The motor is powerful and accurate, making it feel like you're really in the game. I also noticed that the phone's performance is quite impressive, with a Snapdragon 855 processor and up to 12GB of RAM.

The phone comes with several configuration options for the controller, including turbo mode, which allows you to customize the buttons on your controller to suit your gaming style. The phone also has a docking station with POGO ports, which can be used to charge your phone while still playing games. I was able to disable this feature if needed.

One of the interesting features of this phone is its ability to display an extra screen when using certain modes. This is useful for those who want to multitask while gaming or watching videos. The auto mode is set by default, which provides a balance between performance and battery life.

The back of the phone has a unique feature called Aura Light, which can be adjusted in terms of brightness and color. There's also a fingerprint reader that works well. Overall, the build quality of this phone feels solid and premium.

**Battery Life and Camera**

One of my favorite features of this phone is its battery life. I was able to test it out by recording video for 13 hours straight, and it performed flawlessly. The camera is also very good, with a level 3 camera API that provides high-quality photos and videos. However, the camera's capabilities are limited compared to some other phones on the market.

The front-facing camera can only record in 1080p at 30fps, which may be a disappointment for those who want higher video quality from their front-facing cameras. The rear camera can record in 4K at 60fps when using certain modes, but it's not available in all situations.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I'm very impressed with the ASUS ROG Phone 3. It seems to be one of the best gaming phones on the market, with a long battery life and high-quality display. The haptic feedback motor and camera capabilities are also standout features. While there may be some limitations compared to other phones, this phone is definitely worth considering for those who want a powerful gaming device.

**Comparison to Other Phones**

One of the things that sets this phone apart from others in its class is its price. It's significantly cheaper than some of the other gaming phones on the market, which makes it an attractive option for those who want high-quality performance without breaking the bank.

In comparison to other phones, such as the Black Shark or Azouz Phone, this phone seems like a better value. The Azouz Phone is way more expensive and doesn't seem to offer any significant advantages over this phone. The Black Shark also has some limitations, such as a lower refresh rate and no support for Netflix in Full HD.

**Final Thoughts**

I'm going to wrap up my review of the ASUS ROG Phone 3 by saying that it's an excellent choice for gamers who want a high-quality device without breaking the bank. It may not have all the features that some other phones offer, but it makes up for it with its powerful performance and long battery life. I hope you've enjoyed this review, and I'll catch you in the next video!
